![]() With its sly black humour and bold production design (the film was partly shot in Dahmer’s own childhood home), Marc Meyers’ adaptation of John Backderf’s revered graphic novel might initially recall outsider teen movies like Ghost World or Napoleon Dynamite. As his sexual desires develop, so too do his sociopathic tendencies, and slowly the teenager’s dark obsessions rise to the surface. But when his erratic behaviour attracts his schoolmates’ attention, he is goaded into performing increasingly outrageous acts. Long before gaining notoriety as one of America’s most prolific murderers, Jeffrey Dahmer seems to be just another adolescent outcast, awkwardly navigating his way through the everyday horrors of high school. ![]() It’s Jeffrey Dahmer: The High School Years, in this unnerving portrait of the serial killer as a young man.
