Horror fans frequently seek out terrifying experiences that leave them trembling in total darkness. But sometimes genre audiences crave something delightfully cheesy and a bit absurd instead. The upcoming horror-comedy Jeffrey Dollmer delivers exactly that: wildly entertaining B-movie fun. A Decades-Old Dark Ritual Interrupted The bizarre storyline begins decades ago during a dark, occult ceremony. Police officers suddenly raid a serial killer, interrupting an unusual ritual.
