Though the interaction with a personable young man whom Dahmer lures into his lair (Artel Kayaru) does provide psychological chills by providing insight into Dahmer's twisted logic, one increasingly gets the impression that there is no real reason for the film to exist. Flashbacks in particular tend to weigh the film down as it moves along, appearing from time to time to provide a glimpse into some of Dahmer's previous crimes, but providing absolutely no motivation for those crimes, which even he seems initially repulsed by. In the subsequent investigation, Dahmer was found to have been drugging and killing other men and having sex with their dead bodies since the age of fourteen. Dahmer was apprehended in 1991 when one of his victims managed to accidentally get away and was found by police.
DAHMER 2002 PUTLOCKERS SERIAL
Since those details have been so graphically portrayed in the previous and much more obviously sensational The Secret Life of Jeffrey Dahmer, Dahmer's lack of gore and historical ambiguity at times edges it toward a more low-key form of exploitation, though the solid lead of Jeremy Renner (despite bearing little to no physical resemblance to Dahmer through the majority of the film) as well as a fine supporting cast and an underlying honesty keep it barely afloat despite its shortcomings. Jeffrey Dahmer (1960-1994) was a serial killer of considerable notoriety. At its worst, the film is a pointless attempt to once again capitalize on the name of a true-to-life boogeyman in the form of failed exploitation that doesn't even begin to explore the deeply revolting nature of his crimes.
At its best, David Jacobson's journey into the mind of one of history's most notorious serial killers is an unusually restrained and introspective view of an unhinged mind that committed unspeakable acts of atrocity that, if portrayed accurately, would detract from the subtle approach taken in Dahmer.
