Under the radar much? Well, this week’s home entertainment titles are ones that mostly got by us when they hit theaters and film festivals.
An art dealer gets sucked into a heist in Danny Boyle’s stylish Trance, while distinctive documentary-drama hybrid The Jeffrey Dahmer Files revisits the infamous serial killer’s crimes.
Finally, a gay Italian finds his plan to come out scrapped when a sibling beats him to it in Italian comedy-of-errors Loose Cannons (pictured).
($24.99 DVD; IFC Films)
In this drama-documentary about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, a homicide detective, a neighbor, and a medical examiner provide vivid recollections while actor Andrew Swant portrays the milquetoast-nerdy Dahmer in understated yet creepy reenactments. So understated and restrained is Chris James Thompson’s approach — completely devoid of onscreen grue to start — that it may leave the unfamiliar without a full sense of Dahmer’s crimes, yet if you do know Dahmer, a few hairs on your neck will raise.

The photo associated to his article is so misleading. Why does Queerty do this?

@ted72: How is it misleading, if the picture associated with this article comes from one of the movies?
I loved “Loose Cannons”, it’s a very entertaining piece on homosexuality in a patriarchal family.
