Ted Bundy (2001)

In a killing spree that spanned five years, Ted Bundy kidnapped murdered and mutilated hundreds of women. Both handsome and charismatic, he was virtually undetectable and changed the mass murderer profile forever. His story will disturb you. It will frighten you. And it all happened right before our eyes. Step into the mind of a psychotic madman and ask yourself, if it were to happen again, would you see him coming?

a chiiling movie to see.it gets you wondering if something like this can happen again.a must see August 31, 2008

Average, at best....

....and doesn't dramatize Bundy's trial, which is a key component of his sick saga. His execution and the lead-up to it is quite realistic, and to those who complain about how Bundy was treated - get a life. Personally, I think we worry far too much about the treatment of criminals and far too little about those they victimize. I was glad to see Ted get a little dose of what he so freely doled out to others prior to his execution.

All in all, this movie is average. If you can get it cheap, watch it, if not, catch it for free on YouTube. August 17, 2008

That's OK I'd rather not see in graphic detail all of Mr. Bundy's sick "jollies"

I should have read before buying this piece of"awful". What a truly disgusting and "base" film this is. Worst than that it insults the memory of the girls that fell into this "Monster's" hands. I suspect had he not been executed for his crimes, this film would be palyed often in Bundy's cell. July 31, 2007

GREAT FILM

TED BUNDY

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life, and I really mean that, independent or major studio film, this is by far a classic film. This film is about the real life serial killer Ted Bundy who terrorized many a young lady in his time and still became a celebrity. That of course was towards the end of his life on this earth, it is shocking how he raped and killed women yet so many of them loved him while he was in jail for the last time before his execution.

This film superbly written by Stephen Johnston and director Matthew Bright is what every based on true events movie should be, a straight forward in your face picture. This film is not preachy in any way, and doesn't take any side nor does it heroinize [not sure that is even a word] the film's killer Bundy. This film does not show any sympathy to the killer at all, for some reason some films like to make you feel bad for the killer by showing him/her as a person with problems, mental most of the time, some like to use a bad childhood as an excuse for a killer. Instead this film just shows you what happened, like it or not this man existed and really committed these crimes.

Bundy is played masterfully by Michael Reilly Burke, when viewing this film the first I had no doubt in my mind that I was really seeing Ted Bundy on my screen. He really plays the part perfectly, he is very creepy in one scene and wholesome and charming in the next. Matthew Bright did an excellent job as the director for this film, his direction is suburb and you can tell he really wanted to make the best movie possible. Of course you all know the story; Bundy brutally killed then raped [in that order] various women for years. He was even caught a couple of times and escaped from prison only to start doing it all again. The weird thing about it was that he actually had a girlfriend that would anything for him, that includes playing dead while they had sex [creepy]. The girlfriend was played masterfully by Boti Ann Bliss, her performance was outstanding and I can see why she was cast.

Now comes the real messed up part, when he was in jail the last time before his execution he received hundreds of fan letters from WOMEN every where. Speaking of his execution, Burke's performance is painfully good during the scenes were he is being prepped for the chair, and I mean painfully. It is the one scene that made me feel for the guy, I could really see the fear in his eyes, and his screams had me cringing. This was an excellent work of art.

Disturbingly graphic

This movie shows just how deranged Bundy truly was. I made a friend of mine, who had never heard of Ted Bundy, watch it with me and she was horrified. Her mouth hung open and her eyes were wide throughout the entire movie. April 7, 2007
