4/5 The Real "American Psycho"
  by Michael Morales (Los Angeles, CA)
The scene where Bundy tells his girlfriend to "play dead" while they are in bed is truly shocking stuff and is worth the eight dollars by itself.

The film ultimately succeeds for several factors.

(1) An incredible performance by Michael Reilly Burke. Christian Bale in American Psycho was cartoonish. Burke plays Bundy as he was...a real person who had parts of his personality that were numingly normal and obviously the very evil and twisted parts of him as well.

(2) The film is violent but it doesn't go over the top in terms of portraying the crimes in all of their grisly detail. As a result..it retains its objectivity and doesn't turn the film into and exploitation picture glamorizing the killer.

(3) The film shows Bundy getting his come uppance and shows him for what he was..a coward who died crying and snivelling rather than going out with some dignity.

This movie definately warrants viewing.




5/5 unbelievably violent
  by B. E Jackson (Pennsylvania)
I honestly had no idea who Ted Bundy was until I watched this movie tonight. I mean, I knew he was some guy who killed a bunch of people, but I had no idea he killed... what was it? Over 150 women? Possibly many more that weren't discovered? Man, what a horrible human being.

The movie focuses on the detailed ways in which Ted killed his victims.

Many of the girls ran around screaming in an attempt to run away from Ted Bundy, many of the women were tricked into getting into the same car with him which resulted in the victims being punched in the face or knocked out completely (with death soon following) and the women who were hitchhiking, well... they didn't have a chance either.

There was one woman though, who put up a heck of a fight as soon as she realized what was going on. If there was ever a reason to teach your kids to never EVER get inside a car with a stranger, this movie is it.

Furthermore, sometimes Ted would spy on certain women as they walked inside their house, then kill them in their sleep. He had many ways to carry out his brutal killing spree. He apparently traveled all over Utah and Colorado killing women over and over and over again... somehow either not getting caught, or when he WAS eventually caught, he found ways to escape from prison.

The ending of the movie is great though, which I won't spoil. It's graphic. What goes around comes around. The only thing I didn't particularly care for was the very final line of the movie which Bundy's ex-girlfriend delivered. It was just a cheesy way to end the movie I think. Other than that, the movie basically focuses on Ted Bundy meeting up with women and killing them. This is the storyline for the ENTIRE movie.

Interesting movie about perhaps the worst human being ever.

5/5 Raw and violent the way it should be!

1st off i think it was a really good and interesting movie. I suppose they could of shown more of the disgusting violence he did in more detail, but then it might of just looked like a regular horror film. I think they balanced the violence an perversion pretty well without going overboard. The music and certain situations made the movie almost funny at times, which probably shouldn't of happened since he's supposed to be the "bad guy". But as far as getting the point of the story across, i think they did a good job of showing the diff. time periods and areas he was killing people in and don't see why some people are so worried that theirs not a back story...google the back story if your so amped up about it then watch the movie!

1/5 A sickeningly ignorant portrayal
  by J. A Miller (Computer Chair)
What this film tries to do is "shock" the audience by showing a guy (Bundy) murdering women and trying to hard to be offensive with his language.

From the standpoint of a story it's bad because it has no structure whatsoever. Multiple times I thought it would end but it never seems to know when the story is over; as if there was a story.

Where the film ultimately fails is in it's portrayal of Ted Bundy. It's not accurate at all. What we have here is a movie about a guy who acts like a complete idiot and kills a bunch of women while calling them obscene names and doing bizarre things. Sure, you could maybe "sum up" Bundy as a bizarre guy that killed women but he was also a brilliant up and coming lawyer with a son. None of the person he actually was is touched on. I find the film grossly ignorant in it's portrayal of one of America's most prolific serial killers. It's a bad "shock" film simply using the name "Ted Bundy" to cash in on unsuspecting audiences.

Pass on this one because not only is it a terrible film it's also completely void of insight as to who Ted Bundy was and the chain of murderous events that made him known.
