Jeffrey Dahmer: The Secret Life is an American true crime film, released in 1993. It starred Carl Crew as Jeffrey Dahmer, an American serial killer, necrophile and cannibal.
The movie is a first hand account of Dahmers lifestyle as a serial killer. When he was finally caught, it was revealed that his apartment was a chamber of horrors, where he tortured his young victims to death, then sliced up the bodies and stored the parts in his freezer, among other places. The Secret Life was produced several years before Dahmer was himself murdered in prison.
Famous quotes containing the words secret and/or life:
“Come now, let us go and be dumb. Let us sit with our hands on our mouths, a long, austere, Pythagorean lustrum. Let us live in corners, and do chores, and suffer, and weep, and drudge, with eyes and hearts that love the Lord. Silence, seclusion, austerity, may pierce deep into the grandeur and secret of our being, and so diving, bring up out of secular darkness, the sublimities of the moral constitution.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational. One is artistic gold; the other is bullion.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
