2.5/4
The lurid new installment of the documentary series, plays recordings of the killer describing his depraved acts but making no attempt to explain them. Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com 07/09/2024
3.5/5
Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes is extremely mellow. You don’t really feel the immediate fear or thrill in the first episodes, but the series does a great job at building the tension and bringing out the tragedy. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 10/07/2022
You get to hear from Dahmer himself, and despite knowing that everything he’s saying is from his twisted perspective, it’s still the best way to even inch your way into the mind of someone who was so sick. Go to Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages 10/06/2022
“A fatalist flick like ‘Blonde’ — which, importantly, is not a biopic — and serial killer documentaries like ‘The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes’ can at once be exploitative and insightful. Both things can be true.” Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Claudia O @caia_90 Dec 28 Very in-depth documentary about Jeffrey and his victims. Listening to the tapes, makes it feel more real then if it were to be a series based on what happened. Extremely interesting for who likes to know more about these infamous serial killers. See more dave d 10/22/2023 Jeffrey Dahmer is a hard person to spend time with and this is equally as informative as it is uncomfortable. There are 32 hours of recordings on tape of his confessions made into three hour-long episodes. It's fine, but a little goes a long way. See more PANDA M 05/19/2023 Very interesting for someone with a morbid curiosity See more Ohio D 11/12/2022 the reasons for Dahmer's behavior are not disclosed at all (Brian Masters wrote about this almost 30 years ago). See more Connor S 10/21/2022 The weakest of the 3 in the "Conversations With A Killer" series, as it twists the satanic behavior of a mutant and uses it as a referendum on racial relations in society. God bless the victims and their loved ones... See more Read all reviews
