my friend dahmer movie theater release date

The release date for 'My Friend Dahmer' has been met with anticipation from fans of psychological thrillers.

In this biographical drama film directed by Marc Silver and based on the 1996 memoir of the same name written by his high school classmate Jeffery Dahmer, Jeremy Irons plays Arthur Daley Sr., a factory worker whose son would grow up to become one of America's most infamous serial killers.

The movie follows its titular character played skillfully by Evan Peters through his tumultuous teenage years in 1970s Milwaukee. It chronicles the events leading up to when Dahmer committed his first murder at age 18, while still a student at Ohio State University.

'My Friend Dahmer,' which premiered earlier this month exclusively in select theaters across North America before expanding nationwide later last week, has been praised for its hauntingly accurate portrayal of the complex and often disturbing mindsets behind such heinous crimes. Peters gives an Oscar-nominated performance as the awkward outsider struggling to find acceptance within society while simultaneously grappling with his own dark impulses.

Supporting performances from a talented cast including Danila Kogan, Scott Patrick LeDoux and Angus Macfadyen round out this gripping retelling of one man's descent into depravity. If you haven't yet had chance to catch 'My Friend Dahmer' on the big screen, don't miss your opportunity - it is sure not disappoint.

The film has been certified R for strong violence/ gore, language and some nudity making it suitable only for viewers aged 18+.
