Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJeremy Renner was cast because of his resemblance to Jeffrey Dahmer and because not many actors wanted to portray the serial killer.
- GoofsWhen Dahmer gets pulled over by the cop in 1978, he shows a New York State driver's license from post 1995.
- Quotes
Jeffrey Dahmer: You know what the cross was, don't you?
Rodney: Yeah, where Jesus died, right?
Jeffrey Dahmer: A torture device... used to kill criminals. So when you pray to it, it's like praying to an electric chair, or a guillotine.
- Crazy creditsThough the names of Jeffrey Dahmer's victims were changed in this biopic, details of his killing methods were used; yet, the film's closing disclaimer states that any similarities to the history of any actual person, living or dead, or any actual event is entirely coincidental and unintentional.

I liked this movie and would suggested it only for...
I liked this movie and would suggested it only for a mature audience. I liked it because it focused intensely on the psychology of Jeffrey Dahmer- and less the grotesque/hollywood gore-although it wasn't avoided completely becasue it was part of his character. I think the actor who portrayed him (Jeremy Renner) did an unbelievable job of creating layers and inner conflict that we see on the screen which is pulling him apart. I came away from this movie with a different point of view than what I would have expected regular media to portray. Jeffrey Dahmer was a person who tapped into too much of his innder Id, and almost out of his own grasp, could not control what he did, and could not stop himself.
