Part of MVD’s Marquee Collection, Dahmer brings over all the available special features taken from the original First Look DVD and even a few new ones. Optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles play in a yellow font. Largely everything is laid out across the front soundstage in modest depth and separation. The sound design is adequate, lacking the intense realism of larger studio films. The low-budget Dahmer offers intelligible dialogue and serviceable musical fidelity without a huge soundstage.Ī few choice scenes have more palpable surround activity. There’s an immediacy and clean presence offered by the PCM audio that’s not necessarily felt in the slightly more expansive surround mix. Monaural 2.0 PCM and 5.1 DTS-HD MA audio choices are the soundtrack options. Cinematographer Chris Manley plays with color saturation and static shots favoring stronger compositions. The main feature runs 102 minutes on a BD-50 at fine parameters. MVD bestows a strong AVC encode for Dahmer which transparently renders the movie’s thick patina of grain. No one should confuse Dahmer looking anything more than decent in HD.
#DAHMER 2002 SOUNDTRACK UPGRADE#
It’s a massive upgrade over First Look’s terrible DVD transfer.
#DAHMER 2002 SOUNDTRACK 1080P#
The unfiltered film transfer has adequate texture and detail for 1080P resolution. Presented in the movie’s proper 1.85:1 aspect ratio for the first time, video quality is satisfactory but not revelatory. Notable film damage is visible in a couple scenes, which is unusual for a film made in 2002.
If true, the negative is in rather poor condition and hasn’t seen an extensive restoration. MVD claims in its press materials that Dahmer uses a new 4K transfer struck from the original camera negative, supervised by director David Jacobson. The low-budget drama has a raw, unpolished edge that sometimes works out and sometimes doesn’t.
#DAHMER 2002 SOUNDTRACK MOVIE#
There’s a great movie out there waiting to be made about Jeffrey Dahmer but this isn’t it. Not really a thriller and not really a graphic true crime account of the murders, Jacobson the writer lets down Jacobson the director. Meandering and occasionally drift-less in story, Jeremy Renner’s performance is the primary reason for catching Dahmer. Jeffrey befriends Rodney and it’s difficult determining if he’s looking for a friend, or his next victim. Most of the plot’s dynamic energy comes from the awkward predator stalking his prey and bringing them home. Renner’s portrayal paints him as a functioning but disturbed individual with nasty predilections from an early age. It’s a small but essential role that should have been expanded. The ambitious-but-flawed narrative slips in and out of Dahmer’s murders before capture, creatively dramatizing the young Dahmer’s conflict with his demanding father played by Bruce Davison. Dahmer mostly went after young homosexual men as victims. The focus for Dahmer is how a mundane factory worker set his sights on prey and often lured them home under false pretenses. … Jeremy Renner’s performance is the primary reason for catching Dahmer
