Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

thatsweetbird What I mean is that this movie is on some level revolting in its very nature - It is exploiting a real life monster for entertainment. It is a both a biopic and a horror movie - Because just to portray what this person did is to portray horror.Although some may find the lead performance a bit over the top I think it's fairly appropriate to what the real person was like. This movie gives much more of a sense of what Bundy really did than the Mark Harmon TV movie "The Deliberate Stranger" showed. His evil, his sadism is veritably pushed in your face. The sexual dimension of his crimes is graphically shown.Now I do think the ending was contrived with the "rape" of Bundy by the guards And the execution of him by an attractive female guard. But a lot of the earlier scenes are all too accurate and believable presentations of his real life. You don't have to embellish his crimes to reach horror.Although there are some memorable scenes in the Nemec-starring "Bundy A Legacy of Evil" Which followed this a few years later And also graphically depicts his sadism I find this the most believable performance of Bundy. Virtually all of it sadly happened as it is depicted.

Irishchatter Before seeing this film, I have seen a documentary about the cold blooded killer but I don't know much of him 100%. All I knew was that he hasn't known his real father and his mother was 16 when she had him. Also of course I knew he killed a lot of poor innocent young girls.However, after seeing this film, I have learned a lot of who he was as a person. I know Michael Reilly Burke isn't the real Ted Bundy but, he really did look like him in a killer style of form. He was honestly scary, lemme tell ya!I would probably freak out if I ever saw him on the street or even on films. Although I'm sure he is not like that but still, he played a risky character who was for real, a murderer!I honestly can say, this is a not bad horror/crime/biography film even if it was considered the worst movies to watch!

blkdoggy421 Looking over the reviews I'm almost thinking I saw another movie with the same title. This movie was horrible, some of the scenes and acting was so bad I almost thought they were trying to make a comedy. I realize it was a low budget flick and everyone has their tastes, but I thought this was really bad. Laughing at the parts where he just strikes the women once (not even a punch) and they're instantly knocked out and seriously I know it was the 70's but were the women really that naive back then ? Some of the stories he was making up were transparent lies and they still would but it. 'm giving it a 3 and I feel I'm being extremely generous.

punishmentpark First off, Michael Reilly Burke really pulls off a fine performance as the sick and twisted iconic American serial killer Theodore R. Bundy. Next, Matthew Bright goes for a colorful retro-seventies look and focuses mostly on the sheer brutality of his killings, leaving the background story of Bundy's youth in the shadows. This is the director's choice, giving way to a startling point of view: we ride along for his tour of death throughout America and that is pretty much it. Well, in the end we get to see him getting his comeuppance as well...In another way, this feels like a cautionary tale, especially considering the kids at the end saying 'I am Ted Bundy' (one of them holding a dead cat up to the camera). It is normal for children to be experimental and on the prowl for adventure, which often leads to misbehavior, but most of the time it does not escalate as it did with Bundy. He became thé American icon for evil, and still... he was a human being - and received about 200 love letters in jail!Bundy's 'accomplishments' are mind-boggling - it doesn't matter how ugly you want to portray them (I think one must). Even if you attribute some of it to luck, there is still a big part of his 'work' that leans heavily on sheer dedication, wit and persistence, there's no way around it.Unfortunately quite a few facts weren't correct (I must admit I don't know them all myself, and many facts are uncertain due to different statements by Bundy himself) and I would have liked the story to have started much earlier in Bundy's life ánd be more elaborate around the time it does begin, but 'Ted Bundy' does offer a visceral view of an almost unbelievable one-man rampage, leaving you with a few things to think about...8 out of 10.
