the secret life start with the bad possible narrative intro represent the crime commit by jeffrey dahmer be too horrible to make a film about . okay and so what be you suggest . that we shouldn not bother to continue watch a the film would not be accurate or bloody and anyway . and they be right and too . the film isn not the least bit shocking and contain almost no blood or gore at all . although i think that mainly due to the low budget production value and not because of dahmer crime be too horrific . basically and the secret life represent jeffrey dahmer be just one sequence repeat over and over again . young and pitiful and mentally confused jeffrey pick up victim ( always male and a he be a homosexual ) and kill them and then talk about how it wasn not his intention to hurt them and about how lonely he be . this get boring really quick and even the admirable performance by unknown actor carl crew can not save this movie from be a total dud . still and this version be much good than the pretentious and hopelessly muddle dahmer that get release in 2002 .
