Dahmer

Directed by David Jacobson

A biopic chronicles American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's life and crimes.
Dahmer avoids turning Jeffrey Dahmer into a conventional horror-movie monster, instead presenting a cold, disturbing character study anchored by Jeremy Renner’s unsettling performance. The film is intentionally subdued and grim, but that restraint gives it more psychological weight than a more sensational approach would have offered.
