Dahmer

#

Started by Tammy in Chit-Chat

I just saw a film about Jeffrey Dahmer it’s called ‘Dahmer’ and I must say that it’s been a very long time since I last saw a very very good film. I was shocked emotionally. It was about Jeffrey Dahmer the person and not about the crimes he did. So If you expect to see headless bodies, lots of blood and lots of killing you better not watch it.Some people might say that it was slow but for me it is the best film I have ever seen. ‘Dahmer’ and ‘Requiem For A Dream’ are now my favorite films.
I started looking on the internet about him and I found one site that had a photo of him when he was a kid and it was the same picture that Therapy? had on their ‘Trigger Inside’ single! Now I can say that I trully understand the lyrics of ‘Trigger Inside’!
The website is

If anyone like to check it out.

It did get mixed reviews but I think most people expected to see how he killed the people. The movie wasn’t about that though it was about his character and his feelings and trying to understand why he did the things he did.And probably most people won’t like it but it has been 3 days since I saw it and I still think about it.

Title: Movie

The last really shocking movie i watched was called- “Last house on the left” which is the first movie that Wes craven done, and i must say it wasnt easy viewing. But the funny thing is, there is a guy who i talk to who works in video store and when i got this movie he started talking about it saying it was his favourite film and all, which i think is a bit strange.

i have seen this film. i must admit i watched it expecting lots of gore but as you say, there was very little. it was quite a while ago i saw this but i remember it being good and showing how he actually felt. infact if i remember correctly you don’t actually see him eating anyone. there seemed to be a trend about a year or so ago of low budget films like this being made. i also saw one about ted bundy which was more horrific but also let you identify with the killer as a human being. a very fucked up human being admittedly but basically a very lonely person driven to extremes by being constantly belittled and ignored. by the way i do not condone eating or killing people at all. just to be safe :)

After I saw the film I was very sad and although I’m not saying that it was ok that he did all these things, I can understand his loneliness. I felt sorry for him.

Just went to that site (hey, I gotta have something to do when slacking off) and it was quite disturbing and depressing at the same time.

Has anyone seen the film ” To Catch a Killer”? It’s the the John Wayne Gacey Story, or pogo the clown as he liked to be known sometimes. He was another “great ” serial killer. Brian Dennehy plays him in this film and he does it really convincingly. It also has the woman that played Lois Laine in the superman films playing an old psycic woman who helps locate the bodies. And whats more it’s all true…mohahahahahahahah!:eek:

I’ve seen a film about Ed Gein. He was fucked up. He lived in Wisconsin, I think, and was a lonely hick who used to kill people and make stuff out of their skin. Slayer’s “Dead Skin Mask” was about him. Hannibal Lecter was partly based on him too.

Dahmer was pretty much by the facts, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Gein was interesting just because so many horror movies have been based off of him (Silence of the Lambs, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Psycho) But there isnt any real evidence he actually ate anyone. That was my only complaint with Ed Gein.

a lot of pictures on those sites are shocking…reading Dahmer’s methots and crimes got me shocked and disgusted…
I think human being can be really horrible! and I can’t believe that a person can be so close to the wildest animal…the animals can’t be so cruel! I’m really scarring about individuals and about his minds…and the past of each one can alleviate such a crimes and actions…

From you’re description Tammy it sounds like a good psychological horror film.

It is very very good. I mean I couldn’t sleep at night because I was thinking about it. And I have never felt like that about any other film.I want to get a book about Jeffrey Dahmer that his father (Lionel Dahmer) wrote. Of course they’re other books about J.Dahmer but I think it will be more about how he killed them and not much about him and his mind. I believe that it would have been better if they had put him in a clinic and not in prison. Because they might have helped him or at least found out why he did all these things and why he was feeling like that.

Ed Gein was the first really famous serial killer, and as well as Hannibal, Norman Bates and Leatherface were loosely based on him too.

My bookshell is full of true crime books about serial killers. If you want to read something about them I can recommand the following books…

Ann Rule : My friend the serial killer - this book is about a true crime writer (Ann Rule) who singed a deal to write about Ted Bundy before she knew who he was, ‘cause they had not caught him at that time. Later she found out that they worked together at a crisis-phoneservice.

John Douglas: Mindhunter - John Douglas en Robert K. Ressler are the beginners of profiling serial killers.

Robert K. Ressler: In the skin of a serial killer
Robert K. Ressler: The hunt on serial killers

(I’m not sure how they are called in English, I just translated the Dutch title into English)

If you want to know more just ask… many great books to read and if you have some for me I don’t know about I like to hear it.

Ps. The picture on Trigger Inside is not Jeffrey himself.

Greetings Iris

Tammy, You should really try reading Killing for Company by Brian Masters. It will give you what you’re looking for.

HAHA not a good use of the “qoute” button…
I’ve red it somewhere in an interview, it’s meant to be the idea that it’s Dahmer…

Ps. Thanks for the SK website btw! Had not seen that one.

I somehow remember reading also somewhere that they wanted to use Jeffrey’s picture but they didn’t because they (A&M in this case obviously) were afraid legal-issues…

Jack wasn’t referred to as a serial killer until the media had latched on to the phrase following the likes of Ed Gein, although admittedly, he does somewhat fit the description.

Though it’s hard to determine when the term ‘serial killer’ was first coined, Ed Gein doesn’t seem to be the first to come to fame.
Fritz Haarman, the so-called butcher from Hanover from the early 20s even had children’s songs sung in his vein to frighten the kids.

1890 - H.H.Holmes -> real name Herman Webster Mudgett known to have killed at least 27 people. He was executed on 7 May 1895.

1895 - William Henry Theodore Durrant known to have killed girls in a church. he was executed on 7 Januari 1898.

I think dark minds are always alive there must be dates more earlier, we just now hear/read it more often because of the to easy access media.

I blame Channel 4 for putting out dodgy documentaries without adequate research :( But yes, I admit that there were people that killed lots of other people previous to Ed Gein, I just meant that the term serial killer started being used in reference to him.

Can I take the hat with the D off now?

Citizen, I think you’ve been punished enough. I got what you meant after your previous post.

Isn’t it good that there are several serial killer nuts on these pages? Perhaps we should have a poll?
