A MAN WHO BECOME A "MONSTER" OF CANNIBALISM - #MovieTalk | #Cinephile

ABOUT:
#Dahmer is a 2002 American biographical crime #Drama-#Thriller film written and directed by David Jacobson, and co-written by David Birke. A limited theatrical release, it is based on the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer, an American serial killer who murdered 17 men and boys in Bath, Ohio and Milwaukee, Wisconsin between 1978 and 1991. It stars #JeremyRenner as Dahmer, and co-stars Artel Great, Matt Newton, Dion Basco, and Bruce Davison.

PLOT:
#JeffreyDahmer is a shy and socially awkward man living alone in metropolitan #Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Troubled by a turbulent childhood and his religious father's denial of his #Homosexuality, Dahmer lures attractive young men home, where he conducts experiments on and kills them, trying to create a living zombie who will never leave or judge him.

Flashbacks to Dahmer's past reveal that he killed his first victim, a hitchhiker who he picked up in his hometown of Bath, Ohio, when he was a teenager. The flashbacks also reveal his strained relationship with his father, Lionel, and Dahmer's alcoholism. In the present, Dahmer rationalizes his crimes, which include rape and necrophilia, in Milwaukee over the divorce of his parents and his emotionally isolated childhood.

At a knife shop, Dahmer meets a charismatic young gay Black man named Rodney and invites him home, intending to murder him, but as the night goes on and the conversations get more personal, Dahmer is faced with an emotional crisis; Rodney confesses his romantic feelings for Dahmer, but finds him evasive. During the course of their evening together, Dahmer nearly strangles Rodney with a belt, but Rodney escapes from the apartment.

The film ends with a flashback to Dahmer as a teenager, going to a therapy session at his father's behest. Before dropping Dahmer off, Lionel offers to always listen to his son about anything that he wants to talk to him about. When Dahmer arrives at the therapist's office, however, he turns away from the door and walks off into the woods. An intertitle then explains that Dahmer was found guilty of murdering at least 15 men, and was killed in prison by another inmate in 1994 after serving two years of his life sentence.
