The premise
On February 15, 1992 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the world's most infamous serial killers, was convicted of 15 counts of murder and sentenced to 937 years in federal prison. This movie is based on events from his life.
Horror Vault's take
Before his name became synonymous with American infamy, Jeffrey Dahmer was hiding in plain sight — a quiet, unremarkable man whose inner world was anything but. This biographical thriller peers behind the mask, reconstructing key moments in Dahmer's life through a cold, unflinching lens. Jeremy Renner inhabits the role with chilling restraint, tracing the psychology of compulsion without excusing it. It is a deeply uncomfortable portrait of how monstrosity can exist alongside mundane normality.
