![]() My Friend Dahmer, directed by Marc Meyers and based off of the 2002 graphic novel of the same name, follows infamous sex killer Jeffrey Dahmer's formative years (specifically his time as a senior in high school) where he essentially passed the point of no return as far as his proclivity for deranged and sadistic sexual violence was concerned. Now yes serial killer biopics aren't new, and there certainly are older movies that fit this critieria (the cult classics Willard and Martin come to mind), but it seems like this kind of "square peg + round hole = bloodshed" material has been picking up steam in these recent years.* I don't know if "cringe horror" is a term, but along with Split and Creep it seems like we're witnessing the emergence of a burgeoning genre comprised of films centered around deeply flawed, awkward, and dangerous characters.
