As he himself once said, “When I was a kid, I was just like anybody else.” It was this idea that captured the imagination of American writer-director Marc Meyers, resulting in his latest film, My Friend Dahmer, a gripping exploration of Dahmer’s senior year at school leading up to his first murder, just three weeks after graduating. The stories that accompany his crimes are chilling and gruesome: he kept the remains of most of his victims – when he was arrested, police found various body parts in his refrigerator, prompting Dahmer to admit to cannibalism – and attempted to turn some of his captees into living “zombies”, drilling holes in their skulls and pouring acid into their brains.īut before he devolved into a ruthless murderer, Dahmer – although it’s unsettling to consider – was once a suburban teenager, just trying to navigate his way through the trials and tribulations of high school and a troubled family life, and make it out the other side alive. Dubbed “the Milwaukee cannibal”, he kidnapped, raped, and murdered 17 men and boys in the Midwest between 19 – the year that he was finally captured.
Jeffrey Dahmer is one of America’s most notorious serial killers.
