Lachlan F 09/03/2024 Just wait until they find the other bodies See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger 02/11/2024 It is so refreshing to see one of these serial killer movies focus on the beleaguered family rather than the assailiant himself or herself that one can't help but wish this had been a better made film. And while it isn't a success, it held my attention throughout and I even found myself choking up a bit at the end before Dahmer's final court hearing. Sadly, as I mentioned before, it's just not very well made. And the acting is rough. Really rough. The cast seems to have wandered over from one of those awful faith-based movies (and that's a knock on the quality of the movies not on the fact that they're faith-based - I am anxiously waiting to see a good one someday). Cordes as Lionel looks distractingly like Patton Oswalt but has a couple nice moments, and Barnett as his wife Shari has a nice scene toward the end which is probably the movie's best. Everyone else is pretty much Zoloft commercial material. And although the movie is called RAISING JEFFREY DAHMER, the bulk of it takes place shortly before and after his arrest. I would have liked to see more about his childhood and what may have led to his life of crime. We're sadly left with just a number of flashback scenes that aren't the film's best. It's a murky film to look at, often badly lit, and production values are really sub-par. If you're interested in the material, I still recommend 2017's MY FRIEND DAHMER with a wonderful performance by Ross Lynch as Jeffrey.

See more 09/17/2013 his father basically had a pity party when he wrote the screen play.... Jesus his father's point of view had nothing interesting going on with it..... its all just him in shell for an hour and a half, not worth the watch. See more 07/11/2013 Decent look into Dahmers childhood. Horrible affects and the music just didn't usually fit the scene. Oh well. It was alright. See more Read all reviews
