DAHMER - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story2022
“It’s a true story”
Created by Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan
The premise
This series examines the gruesome and horrific true crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer and the systemic failures that enabled one of America’s most notorious serial killers to continue his murderous spree in plain sight for over a decade.
Horror Vault's take
Spanning more than a decade of real-world horror, this prestige miniseries plunges into the mind and crimes of one of America's most reviled serial killers — Jeffrey Dahmer. Evan Peters leads a haunting ensemble in a dramatization that refuses to look away from both the atrocities committed and the social systems that repeatedly failed to stop them. As much an indictment of institutional racism and police negligence as it is a portrait of evil, the series gives unflinching weight to the victims and the communities shattered by Dahmer's unchecked rampage.
