Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 men and boys in the Midwest United States between 1978 and 1991 before being captured and incarcerated. He would become one of America's most infamous serial killers. This is the story before that story. Jeff Dahmer (Disney Channel's Ross Lynch) is an awkward teenager struggling to make it through high school with a family life in ruins. He collects roadkill, fixates on a neighborhood jogger (Vincent Kartheiser, "Mad Men"), and copes with his unstable mother (Anne Heche) and well-intentioned father (Dallas Roberts). He begins to act out at school, and his goofball antics win over a group of band-nerds who form The Dahmer Fan Club, headed by Derf Backderf (Alex Wolff, "Patriots Day"). But this camaraderie can't mask his growing depravity. Approaching graduation, Jeff spirals further out of control, inching ever closer to madness.

Press Quotes

Meyers makes 'My Friend Dahmer' a convincing high school drama, but his portrait of the serial killer as a young man telegraphs Dahmer's future all too clearly.

     —Pat Padua, The Washington Post

A morbidly fascinating peek behind the blood-stained curtains.

     —Barbara VanDenburgh, Arizona Republic

A warped wonder of a movie about a cannibalistic serial killer's awkward teenage years-it takes twisted to areas few have investigated.

     —Pat Travers, Rolling Stone

As My Friend Dahmer slowly steers its protagonist toward his historical fate, the result is crushing.

     —Andrew Karpan, Film School Rejects

Writer-director Marc Meyers turns Backderf's celebrated book into an absorbing, dramatized portrait of casual cruelty and teenage desperation, equal parts The Virgin Suicides and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

     —Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out

This film is sensitively wrought. It's credible in its evocation of mid-'70s suburbia. The acting is excellent throughout, and Ross Lynch in the role of Dahmer elicits genuine sympathy for an increasingly lost but not yet monstrous soul.

     —Glenn Kenny, The New York Times
