Eric Perry, a relative of Errol Lindsey, one of the killer’s victims, criticized the production of the series ‘Dahmer: An American Cannibal’ (2022), broadcast by Netflix last Wednesday, the 17th.
Perry explained why his family is against serial killer fiction. Additionally, he also clarified that since the murders are in the public domain, the production of the series has no obligation to contact the families of the victims before airing.
“I don’t tell anyone what to watch and what not to watch, and I know true crime media is very popular right now, but if you’re really curious about the victims: my family (the Isbells) is pissed at this series.. Is it re-traumatizing, and for what?How many films, series and documentaries do we need?
Perry called particularly cruel the recreation of a speech by his cousin, Rita Isabell, during the Dahmer trial, who had a severe emotional breakdown during the victim’s impact statement.
