My Friend Dahmer

Before Jeffrey Dahmer became one of the most notorious serial killers of all time, he was a teenage loner. Conducting grisly experiments in a makeshift backyard lab, Jeff was invisible to most. That is until his increasingly bizarre behavior unexpectedly attracted friends. My Friend Dahmer chronicles the origins of the man. The monster. The high school senior.

Marc Meyers adapts graphic novelist (and actual Dahmer classmate) Derf Backderf’s cult graphic novel, presenting this origin story with a thoughtful approach and drawing remarkable work from his young cast.

Filmography: How He Fell In Love (2015), Harvest (2010).
