During his teenage years he slowly transforms, edging closer to the serial killer he was to become.

(I’m crossing my fingers for good reception, of course.)Įven better, after its premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival in April, the film was picked up by FilmRise for distribution, with a rumored fall release. Jeffrey Dahmer struggles with a difficult family life as a young boy.

I can only imagine how this will play out once it hits theaters. Lynch seems to have a handle on the eccentric awkwardness that’s so often been associated with the murderer’s character, and this is only a preview of what’s to come. And telling from the trailer alone, Lynch’s portrayal of Dahmer from what I can see is conceivable at most. Jeffrey Dahmer struggles with a difficult family life as a young boy. I’m almost positive he was criticized for his decision, but if you ask me, it’s a respectable first step out of Mickey Mouse’s shadow. The first trailer for the upcoming Jeffrey Dahmer movie is here, and its every bit as deeply unsettling as you expect.

At least as thoroughly.Ĭonsidering Lynch’s previous involvement with Disney, it’s pretty honorable of the actor to take on the role of a role like this.

While this isn’t the first time Dahmer’s life has been recounted in cinema (there are several other docu-flicks on the notorious murderer already), Backderf’s interpretation, by far, is most intriguing in that it’s the first I’ve known so far to give more than a split-second insight into Dahmer’s high school years.
