My Friend Dahmer

Jeffrey Dahmer was one of the most notorious serial killers in modern history. According to the people who knew him, Dahmer's issues began when he was a teenager, which is why this absorbing, 1970s-set drama follows Dahmer (Ross Lynch) during his final year of high school. Based on the experiences of one of his classmates, it feels insightful and authentic, portraying Dahmer as a socially awkward oddball who is on the verge of doing something terrible. The film takes place before his killing spree, but it contains several suspenseful sequences, including a scene where Dahmer invites a friend (Alex Wolff) into his empty house. Lynch is genuinely unnerving in the lead role, but he also ensures that we feel sympathy for the character. His performance is crucial to the success of My Friend Dahmer, which is the kind of film that gets under your skin and stays there.
