The most interesting thing about this film, is that it humanises the serial killer. By this, we mean that it literally forces us to understand his childhood, and many of the incidents that made him the brutal killer that he became going into adulthood. We were in suspense for a long time whilst waiting to see this film, and upon release when we had the chance to see it we were surely not disappointed.
My Friend Dahmer does an excellent job at making the audience sympathise with Jeffrey Dahmer, and almost make us understand his truly outrageous, twisted emotions. This is by really giving an honest and gritty view into his home life, school life and social life. This is definitely a film that we would recommend to any serial killer fanatic out there.
