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:
“Master of all sorts of wood-craft, he seemed a part of the forest and the lake, and the secret of his amazing skill seemed to be that he partook of the nature and fierce instincts of the beasts he slew.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Every life and every childhood is filled with frustrations; we cannot imagine it otherwise, for even the best mother cannot satisfy all her child’s wishes and needs. It is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
