Movie Review: Dahmer vs. Gacy (2011)

Being the resident forensic psychologist (not kidding) over here at the Cheese, I was eminently qualified to review this film. Now, we have to realize that I’m still in school and, therefore, still learning this stuff but I have a fascination with serial sexual murderers. Like Billy the Kid and Jesse James were intriguing in the Old West, serial killers are our new aberrant fascinations. Morbid, lacking in any subtlety… the public has their ear to the ground just waiting to hear of the exploits of a new serial killer. We should probably give our serial killer definition before moving on: a murderer who kills a minimum of three people with a cooling off period between each kill. This is different from, say, a mass murderer (like those Colombine freaks who do it all on one spot) or spree killer (like Richard Speck who travels and kills one after the other). What we are dealing with here, though, is Ford Austin’s Dahmer vs. Gacy. He gets some of it right, some of it wrong and, most of all, the film is a lot of fun. Except for my giant pet peeve. A clown-faced, well-marbled, morbidly obese pet peeve. We’ll get to that.

LOS ANGELES — May 1, 2011 — For Immediate Release — Two infamous killers … one ultimate, epic showdown in the horrorfest Dahmer vs. Gacy, rampaging onto DVD May 10 from Walking Shadows (distributed by Virgil Films & Entertainment).

Deep within a secret government lab, Dr. Hess (Art LaFleur, Field of Dreams, Maverick) is obsessively working to create the ultimate killer by combining the DNA of two of the world’s most infamous serial murderers, Jeffrey Dahmer (Ford Austin, Grappling With Your Demons) and John Wayne Gacy (Randal Malone, The Curse of Lizzie Borden, Creepies 2).

All hell is unleashed when a freak accident allows their escape … and the only hope of stopping the carnage is Ringo, a holy, buckets-of-crazy soldier “trained by God” (voiced by Harland Williams, The Whole Nine Yards, Dumb and Dumber) who enters battle with a shotgun in one hand and a whiskey bottle in the other.

Movie Review: Dear Mr. Gacy (2010)

Have you ever wanted to see inside of the mind of a serial killer? Well in the case of Jason Moss, an audacious university law student who chose homosexual pedophile-child killer John Wayne Gacy as the topic of his thesis paper, it is possible. It takes a certain type of individual who possesses an extraordinary amount of conviction to do what Moss did, and do it as well as he did.

Yugoslavian director Svetozar Ristovski’s Dear Mr. Gacy chronicles the events that transpired within the six-month period of Moss’ relationship with Gacy. What starts out as a simple handwritten letter spirals out of control into the abyss of neurosis, manipulation and obsession. What we are seeing here is a glimpse into the deepest, darkest corners of the human psyche. A kid determined to get the story of a notorious killer from an angle that hasn’t yet been covered, a notorious killer living out the last six months of his life in solitary confinement. Each possesses what the other wants… one can only imagine what this particularly twisted game of cat and mouse will lead to.
