Dumb & Dahmer

Jun 8, 2021

Jeff Dahmer is a serial killer who is looking for a relationship. In this slapstick adaptation of the story, there are plenty of laughs as well as some criticism of current mores. The director, Bill Zebub, realized that the real-life events seemed comical, like when police actually returned an escaped victim to the killer. As silly as that sounds, the reasons for the law enforcement blunders was because of prejudice, which isn't funny. A person in authority should not act on personal bias.
