Dahmer & Frankenstein: Closer Than We Think

Frankenstein. Mary Shelley's benchmark novel about a man's journey into the unknown, in an effort to unlock the secrets of life and death, by building a new man from parts of dead bodies. Jeffrey Dahmer. Serial killer. Necrophile. Cannibal. The Milwaukee chocolate factory worker who built a house of horrors in a downtown single apartment, surrounded by the bones and body parts of his many victims. In Dahmer and Frankenstein: Closer Than We Think, acclaimed filmmaker BC Fourteen takes a deep dive down the rabbit hole to shine a light on the dark deeds and lasting legacies of both these notorious figures. Two outsiders driven by impulses beyond their control. From tenuous double lives to uncontrollable obsessions. From sleazy seductions to gruesome experiments. Winding through the realms of both science fiction and stark reality, using rare archival footage and famous clips from some of the most frightening films of all time, Dahmer and Frankenstein: Closer Than We Think compares and contrasts the shocking similarities in Dahmer's, Dr. Frankenstein's, and his monster's dark motivations, deadly trajectories and ultimate downfalls. Jeffrey Dahmer. Frankenstein. Two uncontrollable rampages by two monsters in different worlds. But...are they closer than we think?
