The Jeffrey Dahmer Files is an artistically shot documentary that will appeal mostly to those familiar with the Dahmer case.
The film is directed by Chris James Thompson and stars Andrew Swant (as Dahmer), Jeffrey Sentzen, Pat Kennedy, and Pamela Bass.
The Jefferey Dahmer Files contains some interesting interviews, creatively re-created scenes of actual places Dahmer frequented (which wonderfully capture's the 'feel' of the late 80's/early 90's), and pertinent details about his murders.
Unfortunately the film doesn't offer much insight into the case that hasn't already been reported. The True Crime fan in me wanted to learn some unreported informational nuggets. The horror fan in me wanted to see some unpublished crime scene photos. That didn't happen.
This film will certainly attract fanatical Dahmer investigators, and also offers some meat for those unfamiliar with his crimes. Andrew Swant portrays an almost perfect Dahmer...
