Film Review:The Secret Life of Jeffery Dahmer

The Secret Life of Jeffery Dahmer is a poorly acted, low budget, straight-to-video film fictionalized film about gay cannibal Jeffery Dahmer. The woman who plays his parole officer is a particularly hilariously bad actress. By the time Dahmer was arrested with all the dead bodies in his apartment, the hair metal era was more or less over, and Jeffery Dahmer himself was an avid fan of the industrial band Skinny Puppy, but The Secret Life of Jeffery Dahmer manages to have a whole lot of hair metal on the soundtrack. There are also insane factual inaccuracies, such as Jeffery Dahmer calling members of his victim's families to torment them. All his victims describe themselves as models it seems, and then when he drugs them, he always says " just sit back and relax, man". Before watching this film I had no idea how many black guys at bus stations and gay bars identify themselves as models. Relative to Dahmer's actual crimes, this film is relatively tame, and not particularly gory, it doesn't show Dahmer eating human flesh. It's heavy on a voice over of narration of Dahmer explaining his reasons for committing his crimes. i give the Secret Life of Jeffery Dahmer about 3 out of 4 stars. I have a real affection for this kind of low-budget, straight-to-video filmmaking, which the company that puts out the DVD of The Secret Life of Jeffery Dahmer, Intervision Pictures, specializes in. As I wrote earlier, I am very interested in Intervision Pictures. The Secret Life of Jeffery Dahmer is a little bit better than okay. However, in part because Dahmer had a very specific M.O, the film is a little on the repetitive side. This film might play over well with a group audience, given that the group of people did not take the film at all seriously.
