Movie# 26 The Jeffery Dahmer Files 2012

I recently re-watched the Paradise Lost trilogy so I figured i`d inject some more documentaries into my new cinematic landscape. For better or worse serial killers are interesting and so I rented The Jeffery Dahmer files

Movie # 26 The Jeffery Dahmer Files

I also hate comparing movies but I think this best illustrates my point. Last years "Soaked in Bleach" was an amazing documentary which blended actors recreating scenes mixed with interviews. It also helped that everything the characters said in the reenactments were actually said (from recorded auto) if you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. JDF's tries to do this as well but it falls terribly flat, with scenes of a actor who meh sort of looks like Jeffery doing things like shopping for goldfish, eating hamburgers and lots of beer drinking. What is the point? The people being interviewed was far more interesting with the reenactment stuff serving as filler. I was hoping for a documentary but what I got was some interviews and a bad actor pretending to be Jeffery going about his day.. I think this director bit off more then he could chew.
