Serial killer thriller My Friend Dahmer arrives on Blu-ray and DVD this April.
Former Disney star Ross Lynch (Austin and Ally) plays Dahmer in the film in which we will witness Dahmer’s teenage life before the killer went on to rape, murder, and dismember 17 young men.
Filmed in Dahmer’s hometown of Summit County, Ohio and in his childhood home where he took his first victim’s life in 1978, the film was written and directed by Marc Meyers and co-stars Anne Heche, Vincent Kartheiser, Dallas Roberts, Alex Wolff, Miles RobbinsHarrison Holzer, and Cameron McKendry.
In the film, “Jeff Dahmer (Lynch) is an awkward teenager struggling to make it through high school with a family life in ruins. He collects roadkill, fixates on a neighborhood jogger (Kartheiser), and copes with his unstable mother (Heche) and well-intentioned father (Roberts). He begins to act out at school, and his goofball antics win over a group of band-nerds who form The Dahmer Fan Club, headed by Derf Backderf (Wolff). But this camaraderie can’t mask his growing depravity. Approaching graduation, Jeff spirals further out of control, inching ever closer to madness.”
The Blu-ray and DVD include serval special features:
- Interviews with writer/director Marc Meyers and actors Ross Lynch, Anne Heche, Alex Wolff, Dallas Roberts, Miles Robbins, Tommy Nelson, and Harrison Holzer
- Theatrical trailer
My Friend Dahmer arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on April 10, 2018.
