Reviews


100
Portland Oregonian - Shawn Levy
It's a triumph of the film that it manages to make Jeffrey Dahmer a human being -- at least a member of the species -- without ever bending toward empathy with or excuses for him.

L.A. Weekly - Chuck Wilson
The purest of horror films.
70
Chicago Reader - Unnamed
A low-key but hypnotic portrait of the infamous sex murderer.
67
Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
The whole of it plays like a dark and dreary tone poem, only marginally interested in explaining the ticking, bloody clockwork of the inner beast and only occasionally touching on his fractured humanity.

New Times (L.A.) - Andy Klein
Star Jeremy Renner seems shorter than Dahmer, but is otherwise a look-alike and gives a convincingly intense and weird performance. Bruce Davison (as Papa Dahmer) and the rest of the cast also do nice work.
