The camera work lingers and fixates when showing Dahmer’s perspective, while the lighting does a wonderful job of creating visual metaphors as they progressively show us Dahmer’s darkening nature.
The powerful screenwriting and direction of this film helps to supplement the lead actors’ performances. He doesn’t play Dahmer as a sadistic, demented young man but rather honestly, as a sullen, socially-awkward outcast with a distinctive gait. Lynch’s choices as an actor are subtle and distinct as he invites the audience to soak in that isolation Dahmer faced and his inevitable unravelling that came with it. Lynch provides a borderline hypnotic performance as Dahmer. Aside from the half-friend, half-fan club Dahmer gains from peer Derf Backderf (Alex Wolff) and his friends, Dahmer spends the majority of the film struggling with his loneliness, and violent compulsions, by himself. Dahmer is played by former Disney star Ross Lynch who lives at home with negligent parents on the verge of divorce (Anne Heche and Dallas Roberts).
It begins when a lone, blonde teen comes across a rotting cat carcass on the road, pauses, carefully places it in a plastic bag and continues home.
