Om denne filmen

You only think you know this story. In 1991, the world discovered the chilling truth about Jeffrey Dahmer. But before the trial, the headlines and a spate of gruesome murders, Dahmer was a teenage loner. Conducting grisly experiments in a makeshift backyard lab, Jeff was invisible to most, until his increasingly outlandish behaviour unexpectedly attracted friends. Writer-director Marc Meyers has crafted a haunting and evocative look at one of history's most notorious serial killers. Shot on location and in Dahmer's childhood home, the film reveals his troubled family life, his increasingly bizarre attempts to make friends and his fascination with the macabre. Based on the critically acclaimed graphic novel by Jeff's classmate Derf Backderf, 'My Friend Dahmer' chronicles the origins of the man, the monster... the high school senior.

Me and my friend sat for an hour and a half watching this borefest, I can say I've wasted an hour and a half of my life. It's boring, disrespectful and the only time it was entertaining was when my friend begged me to turn it off. Disappointing.

I spent the entire movie waiting for something significant to happen.... but it didn't. It was well acted but a bit cringeworthy. Seemed a bit of a pointless story.

People crying boredom have no sense of nuance. Or didn't read the comic book this is an adaptation of. If you like a slow burner or a psychological drama then this is for you. If you want gore and guts or explosions then skip it and stop complaining.
