well and it be hard to add comment after read what be already here but i feel i must say something . i wasn not exactly look for a splatterfest a someone put it or even blood and gut or gore . i have some respect for the victim relatives although i really felt the filmaker didnt . they be nameless and faceless and meaningless . just a vessel for dahmers sexual antic . i watch this film with the kind of morbid curiosity that make me think what make a guy be a serial killer . as well a wonder the specific about the dahmer story and of which i know very little . people here seem to think that the movie do not have to cover the event of the dahmer story . i. e. his history and what happen when he get catch and the aftermath and etc but it be important . you see and i assume if you be american you will know all of this . we do not all live in america . to tell this story about such a man a he obviously be and require that at least some of the history and actual event be tell or show . this doesn not mean blood and gut and there be way of show horrific thing in a movie by implication or clever filming without resort to gore . without even touch upon some of what he do ( i find out more about him read the user comment on this site . ) and the movie felt like a void . a moment in time with very little substance . i would like to know if there be a film about the real dahmer because with it lack of direction and very slow pace that never change and strange portrayal of homosexuality and the very unfortunate lack of any attempt at an end and this movie be poor . i would not recommend to anyone that they waste the time it take to watch it . a definite negative ( for the acting . ) .
