Ted Bundy: Mente Assassina

This is really kind of an odd film.. it doesn't really follow Bundy telling his story, nor does it really follow the police chasing him. At first, you think it's going to be more about the female police detective pursuing Bundy.. but your'e wrong.... It's a hodgepodge of scenes around the "theme" of Bundy and the chase without ever really focusing on any one specific storyline. There's no "core storyline" at all.

It seems as though they started with the idea/concept of wanting to portray the sorority house Bundy is infamous for, then tried to pad out a film around that idea. If it weren't for the sprinkles of coarse language, and a single adult-themed scene, I'd have sworn this was "made for tv".

I sat through the entire thing without realizing it - expecting SOMETHING to pick up and be more engaging. Ultimately it's a film which, through character dialog (as in the scripted words for the characters), literally TELLS the audience the facts surrounding Bundy rather than showing them. And its the same story that's been done a million times, only with less detail, less interesting characters, and CLEARLY less direction and money.

This really is at the absolute bottom of the "Bundy films" I've seen over the years.

I have seen all of the Ted Bundy movies. The Ted Bundy 2000, The Deliberate Stranger and No Man of God are the 3 best. This was the absolute worst.

From fiction to budget to acting. Piss poor.

I should have read these reviews before I wasted $40 dollars for two tickets on this embarrassing B grade movie. When you have three people giving a film 10 /10 and an equal number giving it 1/10 then one must be a tad suspicious. This movie is a cynical attempt to make a cheap horror film using a well known story to try and drive up interest. This was so bad that i was compelled to come home and sign up for an IMDb user account so I could write a review to warn others.

If your going to watch this please know it's mostly a fictional interpretation. This story distorts all the facts about Ted Bundy and adds things to the story that never happened. The real life story of Ted Bundy is truly horrific so there is no need to add flair to the story.

The woman running around acting like she was some mind hunter was ridiculous. Why did the director chose to change how the Chi Omega murders went down?

The guy who played Bundy didn't even look like him. When did Bundy have a handle bar mustache?

Chad Michael Murray is the Tedster this time around and he looks nothing like the serial killer and his hair appears to be roadkill of an unknown animal. The first half is accurate, at least, with real names of victims used. The second half goes off the rails with Bundy transforming into Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise. A female Seattle cop is made the heroine of the story and the final ten minutes are downright ridiculous. Dramatic license is one thing but a complete revision of history is infuriating. Skip this nonsense and watch No Man of God to see the great performance of Luke Kirby, hopefully an Oscar nominee.
