I guess it didn't help that his mother (Anne Heche) was a borderline mental case, and his father (Dallas Roberts) was a little late in providing Jeff with the support and attention he needed from an earlier age. The idea of a Dahmer fan club seemed almost as bizarre to me as the way he went about looking for attention. At first, the story line leaves it up to the viewer whether his acting out in high school was the result of an epileptic condition, or whether it was intended to seek notice and approval from his peers, though later it's shown that he does so voluntarily. This film takes a look at the teenage Jeffrey Dahmer (Ross Lynch), who's fascination with dead animals gradually led to increasingly bizarre behavior. You have to wonder how and why some people simply go off the rails. something I reckon people were expecting.

It is really slow paced and is more of a drama rather than a horror movie. Of course because this is not really sensational, it means it won't be for everyone. The directing, the acting, framing/camera work, the editing, the script. And that is what makes this movie so incredible and so powerful. But in the case of Dahmer it is a lot of things that make him the person he is.

Maybe just so you can tell if you see someone like him and be able to stop that from happening. Having said that, there is always that intrigue of watching someone and trying to figure out what made him go off the rails. The movie also can not change what this boy will become once he grows into an adult man. Most are aware of what this man has done and while I am generally against criminals/mass murderers/crazy individuals getting the limelight of publicity and their name known in the press, Dahmer happened a long time ago and you can't change the handling of the story in hindsight.

Not the infamous late part of him is what I'm trying to say.
