The horror movie Jeffrey Dollmer has already made an impression with its outrageous premise: a doll possessed by the spirit of notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Now, the film is getting some appropriately twisted artwork, with a collection of parody posters that pay tribute to several horror classics.
We’ve got a look at these designs, which were commissioned by the producers for fun and are not official Jeffrey Dollmer key art. The collection includes homages to Maniac, The Exorcist, Friday the 13th Part III, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. One of the designs has previously been seen, but the other three are being revealed here for the first time.
Directed by Mark Savage (Marauders, Purgatory Road), Jeffrey Dollmer was written by John Doolan (Popeye the Slayer Man) and producer Jeff Miller (Clowntown). The cast includes Charlie Trepany, Chey Crieger, Juliana Destefano, Adam Huss, Eva Hamilton, and Tom Parnell, with Brian Joseph Mange as Jeffrey Dahmer. Jeffrey Reddick, the original writer of Final Destination, also makes a cameo appearance.
The synopsis for the film reads:
“Jeffrey Dahmer finds a doll in 1991 and performs a ritual in an attempt to transfer his spirit into it, but is captured before he can finish his evil plans. For decades, the doll remains locked away in police evidence—until it is finally discarded and finds its way back into the world. In the present day, the doll’s spirit is accidentally summoned and quickly latches onto a young model who bears a resemblance to its former owner. When the model travels to a remote photo shoot, the possessed doll follows, turning the isolated set into a killing ground as it begins stalking fellow competitors and co-workers.”
Miller previously announced plans to launch the Twisted Serial Killer Universe, with Jeffrey Dollmer and Ted Bunny serving as its first two entries. The latter film is being directed by Michael Fredianelli from a screenplay he wrote with producer Maralynn Adams. Its cast includes Diana Roman, Zanna Wyant, Brad Satterwhite, and Dee Wallace.
Jeffrey Dollmer was released on November 3rd and is now available on VOD and digital platforms, including Amazon’s Prime Video.
