  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.

  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.

  I'd give it zero stars--way too graphic and misses a lot
  
  Only a few minutes into this movie, I realized it was much more graphic than described. Bundy's sick sex fantasies are shown quite explicitly, as are his necrophilia and masturbation. None added to the film and were overused extensively. The acting was sub-par, especially by the lead actress. I much prefer the original movie about Ted Bundy starring Mark Harmon, called "The Deliberate Stranger" which was less graphic and yet showed how cold and cunning Bundy was. I have to wonder if the maker of the film was against capital punishment as he also included much graphic information about the preparing of the inmate for execution at the end that was unnecessary to the plot. Bad directing, bad acting, bad sound (did I mention how terribly inappropriate and bad the music is), jerky filming that will give you a headache, and more graphic sex and violence than are necessary for such a film. So much was left out that could have been included regarding Bundy's childhood, family, and why he grew to be such a disturbed individual. Also, his longtime girlfriend Lee was complicit in several of his crimes and this movie just makes her look like a paranoid fruitcake. Yes, she was fruity, but so was Ted, so why didn't she fry too? Overall, I think this film was just awful. Find a copy of "The Deliberate Stranger" or rent the Biography edition on Ted Bundy; skip this. The poor production will give you a headache and become frustrating, while the graphic sex and violence will make you both sick and mad at the director.

  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.

  TED BUNDY - FEATURE FILM - VERY UNDER-RATED
  
  TED BUNDY starring Matthew Bright is a VERY UNDER-RATED FILM. While the disturbing content is for mature audiences only, this is a good film. Well acted, the film uses a chronological approach to Ted Bundy's promising yet bizarre and eventually disturbing life. While Ted Bundy's crimes were terrible, the film also infers that Bundy suffered mentally, and his acts were to some extent uncontrollable. Some actual footage from Bundy's trail including pictures and reporter film is used in this movie as well. This is a sick flick that is surprisingly well done.
  Score: 4
