Throughout the movie, it shows multiple signs of Dahmers strange and eventually deadly habits. However, it was also the same form of comedy many in his high school had as some would refer to him as the class clown. From these sentences alone you can tell what type of man Dahmer was if that was his form of comedy. These moves would eventually be called “doing the Dahmer”. The reason was that he would pretend to have epileptic fits and mimick someone with cerebral palsy. It talks about how Derf and his friends become close with Jefferey Dahmer. To the right is a page from the graphic novel. Derf actually came on set for the filming and while talking to Ross Lynch he would make him take off his glasses because the resemblance of Dahmer was freighting. It is a true story about Dahmer’s friendship with Derf throughout high school, who later became a serial killer. The movie is an adaption of the graphic novel My Frien d Dahmer by John “Derf” Backderf, Dahmer’s high school friend. This movie however is about his high school movie and what lead Dahmer to become a monster. At first, I was a little disappointed but after learning more about it I loved it! I was expecting to learn more about the criminal side of Dahmer. I did not do any prior research before starting the movie. When watching this movie it is important to understand what it is about before watching to avoid being disappointed. The movie came out in 2018 and you can now watch it on Hulu, Amazon Prime, and a few other streaming servers. It stars as stated above Ross Lynch as Jeffery Dahmer and Alex Wolf as John ‘Derf’ Backderf. This movie is about none other than Jeffery Dahmer. That is when I stumbled upon My Friend Dahmer, which I swore to watch years ago (when I saw Ross Lynch was in) but never ended up actually watching it. After talking about Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile I decided to look into more movies about similar content. For my final passion blog of the year, I will be talking about the movie My Friend Dahmer.
