About This Movie

Meat Day, a 2007 short film directed by Bart van Dekken, dives into the chilling atmosphere surrounding the life of Jeffrey Dahmer. It’s not just about gore; it’s about the unsettling tone that lingers long after the credits roll. The pacing is deliberate, building tension and discomfort, reflecting Dahmer’s own eerie calmness. There are some interesting practical effects that, while not overly elaborate, contribute to the rawness of the film. The performances are haunting, capturing a sense of dread without resorting to melodrama. What stands out here is the film's attempt to explore the darker corners of human psychology, leaving you with a lingering unease that’s not often found in short horror films.
