'My Friend Dahmer'
Adapted from Derf Backderf's acclaimed graphic novel by Marc Meyers of the same name, "My Friend Dahmer" follows Jeffrey Dahmer (Ross Lynch) as he attends high school. He's odd enough that he attracts the attention of some band nerds who create the Dahmer Fan Club, led by Derf Backderf (Alex Wolff). They are fascinated rather than repelled by Dahmer's behavior. As graduation approaches, however, Jeff's dark impulses begin to surface, foreshadowing the chilling path he will eventually take.
