The Mare of Easttown star went on to reveal that once he completed all his research and read the scripts, he went through a great deal of trial and error and experimentation to get everything worked out and find that balance. 5 Takeaways From Oxygens Dahmer on Dahmer: A Serial Killer Speaks By Josh Sorokach True crime junkies interested in exploring the psyche of this notorious serial killer wont. This review of Dahmer (2002) was written by J M on 09 November 2007. But, there’s so much material for Dahmer that I think it’s incredibly important to make it really authentic. Hard to watch, hard to sympathize with Dahmer, but it somehow works without going too far. It’s more about maintaining the idea and the through line of why you’re telling the story and always having that as your guiding light. You can have all the backstory you want, but at the end of the day we’re not making a documentary. I’ve read so much, I’ve watched so much, I’ve seen so much, and at a certain point, you’ve got to say, ‘All right, that’s enough.’ There are beautifully written scripts. be be better to use title cards as they do at the start and end of the movie.
That’s a hard one, I’m still figuring that out. Dahmer (2002) is a film starring Jeremy Renner as the serial killer and. In an April 2021 interview with Variety, Peters explained that he had to find a balance between the real-life killer and the character he is set to play, stating: And that’s the dilemma Evan Peters found himself in while preparing for his appearance in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. When it comes to a serial killer as infamous as Jeffrey Dahmer, there is a ton of information on the subject, which could make for quite a research project for an actor preparing to portray the Milwaukee Monster. Renner fans should NOT miss this one, either.(Image credit: FX) Evan Peters Did A Lot Of Research And Wants To Make His Portrayal Of Jeffrey Dahmer Authentic For those interested in serial killers or true crime psychodrama, this is definitely something to catch. In all, a very well-acted psycho drama about one of the darkest real-life examples of a human predator with very solid cinematography. The film would have benefitted from a GLIMPSE, just a glimpse, of how far Dahmer went eventually when his psychotic fantasies became reality. Though I applaud Jacobson’s desire to create something that focused on more than the gore in this story, it does leave the viewer feeling a little unfulfilled. The beef I have is that the film stops a bit short. The rest of the cast is quite solid as well. Artel Great and Dion Basco play a duo of the killer’s intended victims with real emotion and empathy.
It’s a tough role to embody, but Renner does so with realism and pathology. No caricature here, just true acting talent portraying the terrible manipulations of the psychotic mind. His Dahmer provides some real creeps through subtlety and nuance. The real star of the show here is Jeremy Renner in the title role. The non-linear storytelling adds interest while the intimacy in the encounters, juxtaposed with Dahmer’s psychopathic detachment brings tension and drama. We see Dahmer working up to his first kill, intercut with encounters with specific victims. It makes the film more of a mood piece in an interesting way. He eschews the “severed head in the icebox” styled tale for something more psychological. We have all heard so much about the gore involved in the case that it would be tempting to go “Hostel” with a film like this.ĭirector David Jacobson makes a different choice. The real-life terrors of Jeffrey Dahmer’s bizarre, cannibalistic psycho-sexual murders are almost too horrific to comprehend. ( More on my film poster project at large, here.
