Ehhh! I wasn't all-that impressed.


Initially, I thought this movie was going to be good. But it really just didn't do a whole lot for me. And honestly, I think it was such a missed opportunity. I thought the overall cast and setting of the film was good. But the story itself just kinda dragged on and went nowhere. The actor who played young Jeff did a good job, but I think he just didn't have much of a story to go along with. This film focused on such strange details that didn't seem all that significant or meaningful. I don't know...maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm just harshly judging the film. But I've watched it at least 3 different times now, and I still don't get where all the praise and good reviews are coming from. And one last thing that bothered me, was the ending. For a film about Jeffery Dahmer, in my opinion, there should've been at least 'one kill'. If I were the director, I would've at least shown Jeff's first kill, that way the ending would've pulled the audience into the suspense of it all, for the last parting scene.

Thoughts? Feedback?

Yeah, not sure what was the significance of the pot smoking guy. the movie was a bit Wikipedia play by play of his beginnings.
