He lures a dog out Into the Woods with the intent to kill it, but chickens out last minute and yells at it to go away. Later on, the carcass of a large animal is found, but it is blurry so you can't tell if it's a dog or not. It definitely isn't the same dog though, because it's a different color. It might be a deer

Dahmer develops an alcohol addiction. He is seen drinking heavily, and this habit is referenced to by other characters in the dialogue.

Jeff and his friends go out fishing and despite being told that they needed to release anything they caught, Jeff kills a fish on-screen and gruesomely, saying he wanted to see what its insides looked like.

A fish is stabbed, a dog is lured into the woods with intent to do harm but is let go. The dog is yelled at to go away. All other animals were already dead when found, but it’s implied more were killed.

Right at the beginning the main character is walking along the road with a plastic bag with a dead cat inside that he's planning to disolve in acid.

School bully gives a kid a wedgie during the first lunchroom scene. Had to turn the movie off after that so I’m not sure if it continues throughout.

Dahmer slices open a fish with a knife. A character cuts the side of his hand, which is briefly shown, with another knife and mentions how his father slit someone’s throat with it.

*SPOILER ALERT WARNING*



The last scene is kidnapping but doesn't show anything more than a consenting hitchhiker getting in a car and the car drives away.

There is ableist and homophobic language used, including slurs.
Dahmer also asks a black man insensitive questions about the color of his skin, and how his body compares to Dahmer's body because of it.

Since the film deals with the early years of Dahmer’s life, no murders are shown. However, there are dead animals including gory roadkill, a couple of small but bloody injuries and a scene where a fish is sliced apart. Dahmer talks about having a fascination with the insides of people and animals, often referencing surgery and cutting people open.
