JEFFREY DAHMER THE SECRET LIFE. Starring Carl CrewThis film is the most traumatising and painful horror film I have ever seen in my life. To know that this film is based on a true story and watching Jeffrey Dahmer(Carl Crew) brutally murder his victims, is enough to bring a tear to your eye. Yes, this was a low budget film with not the best dialogue, however it explained why Jeffrey Dahmer was a Psycotic maniac. As he was so selfish/inwardly emotional, his emotions and selfishness went so far deep into his brain, it resulted into him becoming a murderer. You see, every person that he lured back to his apartment, he was attracted to, and had feelings for, and the reasons why he murdered them wasn't only for the thrill of killing them, but because he couldn't cope with the fact of them leaving him. You see, in the scene when he killed his first victim by bashing an object at the back of the guys head from what I noticed wasn't because he wanted to kill him but because he was devastated with the idea of the guy leaving him. It was from thereafter that he got use to the homicidal behaviour and made killing his hobby - for both evil and emotional reasons.The scene when he was talking on the phone with his mother, telling her how much he loved her, while crying, and the love he showed to his grandmother and how he didn't want to move out of her house, showed that he did have love in his heart. One scene that I found quite spooky and strange was when a priest overheard Jeffrey in a pub inviting a guy back to his apartment and then phoned Jeffrey up in a phone booth within the pub, so that the guy would lose patience and change his mind on going home with Jeffrey. When the guy left the pub, the priest then hung up the phone and was was laughing at Jeffrey. Another than this, I found that Carl Crew played a remarkable acting performance as the role of Jeffrey Dahmer. His evil and cold blooded facial expressions before he massacred his victims were so real, I was shivering in my seat. His facial expressions reminded me of the way Vincent D'onofrio (Private Pyle/Leonard) in the film 'Full Metal Jacket' looked just before he gunned-down the General in the toilet barracks. Anyway, if your an emotional person I wouldn't recommend you to watch this film, but if your not, than go ahead and watch it. -Edward baggaley [email protected]! Low Budget but true to the facts, September 15, 2003 Reviewer: prim - See all my reviews I'll tell you right away NOT to go with the 2002 film about Jeffrey Dahmer, and I'll explain why after I tell you why this one is so good. As a criminal psychology student, I've read and re-read the Dahmer case, and this film does the tragic situation justice. It is almost entirely accurate with only a few minor dramatic moments added for overall effect. The acting varies, but Carl Crew as Dahmer is unbelievably accurate. The real Dahmer was conflicted and introverted, but also surprisingly strong and dominating when trying to get what he wanted, and both aspects of this personality are shown here. The film doesn't play him too sympathetically since we know what a monster he was, but it DOES explain his struggles with his identity and upbringing, which led to his psychoses. The only real negatives of the film are in its more apparent budget constraints, such as the somewhat diluted audio and video stock. This by no means makes it unwatchable, but of course it doesn't have the crisp digital quality of, say Star Wars. But in honesty I believe this just lends the film a certain charm, and you should view it for what it is: An accurate representation of the Dahmer story, even if it does have an unintentionally cheesy moment or two. As for the newer Dahmer film, its main actor looks and sounds like a high school kid, its facts are flawed, and it jumps back and forth chronologically which just hides the sloppy handling of the facts. Stick with the older version here instead. Oh ps: THE SECRET LIFE OF JEFFREY DAHMER was filmed before his 1994 death occurred, so that isn't in the film. Overall, an honest look at Dahmer that couldn't help being hindered by a modest budget. Worth a look.Low budget but accurate and with a very convincing Dahmer, March 29, 2005 Reviewer: Mike Wasion (California, USA) - See all my reviews THE SHORT: Low budget and unintentionally silly sometimes, this is nonetheless the best telling of the Dahmer story. Forget the sloppy, artsy, woefully miscast early 2000s film "Dahmer"- This is a much more straightforward, accurate version, and with a very true portrayal of the killer.THE LONG: This is a tough film to review, since several factors need to be taken into account. Let's filter the more judgmental..Ok, are you interested in the facts concerning the serial killer of Jeffrey Dahmer? Can you withstand an independent, low-budget film? Are you objective enough to NOT dislike a film solely due to its lack of stars or professional look?Well, if you said yes then you should have a mind open enough to handle this one. This film is an almost 100% accurate dramatization of Dahmer's adult life and subsequent murder spree, and is styled as an autobiography. It isn't a glamorized, unrealistic account that unfortunately the theatrical film "Dahmer" (2001) was. The movie begins with Dahmer, played quite convincingly by Carl Crew, sitting in the police car as they raid his apartment. His thoughts of what got him there are presented to us in a past-tense, narrated style that accurately explains much of Dahmer's psychoses and motives which led him to commit murder almost 20 times.Some of the reviews here say that this actor is too big, Dahmer was really frail, the 2001 Dahmer was more realistic, etc. I just wanted to say that I don't believe that they've researched the case very thoroughly. Dahmer was often thought of as a handsome man, quiet and unassuming yet startlingly strong when he went for the kill. His last intended victim, Tracy Edwards who escaped, told police how surprised he was at Dahmer's mood shifts and sudden strength. Dahmer was a man of duality, and the fact that so many people mention the more recent film "Dahmer" proves to me that not a lot of reviewers know the details of his life and appearance. Having no allegiance to one film over the other and having studied this case and been raised in Wisconsin, I can say with certainty that this film is the most accurate.We get to know the character, both the devious side as well as the side that came moderately close to living a normal life. It isn't anyone's fault but Dahmer's that 17 people died, but being a criminal psychology student, I was pleased to see more than just his animalistic side represented, truthfully, in this film. You see him having a loving relationship with his grandmother as well as trying to find companionship, but of course we witness the side of him that everyone remembers.It should be noted that there is little actual onscreen violence, with much of it suggestive in shots such as spattering of blood or a body being struck through a blurred curtain. You do see two deaths that I remember, one being a pretty bloodless throat slash and the other being a man shoved alive into a barrel of acid. While you don't see anything graphic, this cruelty and the convincing acting of both Crew and his victim make this a disturbing scene. And while the actual onscreen mutilation is kept low, you will see the results. There is a prop hand and head or two, but it seems as if this was to disturb the viewer and doesn't look to be exploitive. Besides, these fake anatomical pieces are where the budget limitations are visible. Although acceptable, they look enough like fakes to not be too disturbing.The film actually concludes before Dahmer's death in 1994, due to the fact that it was released a year or two prior. That's about the only big difference from the real story, and the information that remains is, as I've stated, very true to the facts. The film quality could be better, the dialogue often sounds a little too quiet, and the acting of several characters IS a bit hammy, but it's not overboard (and again, Crew plays Dahmer very well and even uses several of his real-life statements- the filmmakers did their homework.).In my opinion, this is a flawed but ultimately honest and serious look into one of America's most remembered serial killers. I think it's safe to say the film is memorable as well, and I respect it for overcoming its limitations to deliver the story in a believable manner, aided by a thoroughly excellent Carl Crew as Dahmer. Low budget but accurate and with a very convincing Dahmer, March 29, 2005 Reviewer: Mike Wasion (California, USA) - See all my reviews LEGIT REVIEWS:"CARL CREW, who wrote the screenplay and plays Dahmer has not taken the sensational approach one might have expected. Instead CREW illuminates the psyche of the tormented young man abandoned in childhood. A serious effort anchored by CREW's strongly focused portrayal-KEVIN THOMAS L.A.TIMES"Jeffrey Dahmer The Secret Life is not for the faint of heart, but is an extremely powerful document that humanizes Dahmers undeserving victims and brings new meaning and menace to the phrase The Banality of evil."
