User Reviews

Thoroughly shocking!

For those of you not familiar with Ted Bundy and his crimes (if that's possible), this is the one to watch. But be prepared, you will have to have the stomach for it, because it is downright, shocking, disturbing, and sick, and it will stay in your mind long after the film is over. A few things i found disappointing about the movie though, were, in parts, the acting left a lot to be desired, the humour was a little over the top (and not really necessary under the circumstances), and there were a few inconsistency's in the story. But for the most part, this was probably the most accurate when it comes down to just how truly depraved his acts were. Nonetheless, as disturbing as it was, it was thoroughly engrossing from start to finish. I highly recommend it.
