See the films the platforms disagree about most →This film chronicles the teenage years of the future serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, told from the perspective of a fellow high school student who befriended him. It depicts Dahmer's unsettling and lonely adolescence, his disturbing home life, and his nascent dark impulses. The story is a chilling portrait of a profoundly alienated young man whose bizarre behavior is dismissed as a joke by his peers, all while he is slowly transforming into a monster.
