Jen D @jeniso Jul 23, 2026 I really enjoyed this movie, it shared more of an opening to the story of a younger Dahmer’s life. What I truly enjoy about this movie is how incredibly realistic it is, it feels almost normal and gives a sense of a normal highschool kid who happens to be going through struggles in life which results to the infamous serial we now know.

His friends that had fun at his expense. Sad but if you know the history of Dahmer it ends as he is picking up his first victim.

Absolutely abysmal. If I could give it zero starts I would. See more Ryanne I @RT26164845 Feb 4, 2025 As much as I love Ross Lynch, he is a great actor. I don’t think he portrayed Dahmer as well as Evan peters. If you wanna look into a series that really sucks you into Jeffrey Dahmer and the story feeling more realistic, I would watch the monster series of Jeffrey Dahmer. It’s only 10 episodes long and the actors are more accurate looking. In this series, the mom and the father do not look like the actual people. And the same with Ross he does not look like Dahmer just because you give them the same haircut and glasses does not make him look like him.

I know nothing at all about this young Ross Lynch kid - apparently his background includes a Disney Channel show and being in a band or two. He is sensational here, and it's an electrifying performance that deserved awards attention. He perfectly nails this awkward adolescent, from the blank stare to the uncomfortable posture and walk. It's a performance that could have so easily gone over the top, but I believed every second of it. Sadly, the same can't be said for Heche as his mother in a performance that feels like a caricature and doesn't gel tonally with the rest of the film. The film isn't really able to explain what led to Dahmer's erosion - his home life wasn't great and he was an outcast at school, but neither to a remarkable degree. But there probably isn't one specific answer. This movie just wants to give us a glimpse into the young life of a deeply disturbed man - and it succeeds tremendously well. And Lynch's performance is one I'll remember for a long time to come. See more Read all reviews
