Featured review
Extremely Dark Story/Well-Done Mini Series
This is a mini series chronicling the horrible crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer. Evan Peters is very good playing the title role. No campy stuff here, just plays Dahmer completely convincingly and serious.
Makes effective use of flashbacks to Dahmer's childhood and teen years to explain how he turned out the way he did.
Richard Jenkins plays Dahmer's father. He's great as a man broken by years of unhappiness culminating in realization of what his son has become. Penelope Ann Miller is wonderful in her short role as Dahmer's unstable, UFO-chasing mother.
Niecy Nash has a small role as Dahmer's next-door neighbor. Her scenes are some of the most terrifying and unsettling, not for what you see, but for the sounds she endured. Love her in this role.
The acting is pretty good across the board. The actors playing his victims were perfect at conveying terror. Shaun J. Brown plays Tracy Edwards, a victim, in the first episode. The scene had me on the edge of my seat. Without going into detail, the scene takes place mainly in Dahmer's apartment.
Everything has a very dirty look to it, low lit, hazy. You could almost imagine the "smell" of the scenes. As horrible as that sounds, it does make for effectively creepy watching.
Again, the subject matter is very dark and hard to endure. The series takes viewers from Dahmer's childhood up through his trial and imprisonment. I felt like Evan Peters completely inhabited his role. Also left me low with immense sadness for the families of the real-life victims, the survivors of his crimes, and the neighbors and others whose lives are left scarred by the actions of Dahmer the Monster.
