    Utter Rubbish

    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?

    What Happened?

    You've got the craziest killer for subject matter and and some good talent to boot, but you end up with a cardboard Bundy and a made-for-tv feel.

    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.

    An exploitative cash grab

    What isn't bad about this film honestly? Some of the cinematography was half decent. And that's it.

    This is a terribly written script with glaring historical inaccuracies, awful performances and is nothing more than a gross exploitation of Bundy's story that offers zero new insight nor does it justify its existence in any way other than it being a soulless cash grab.

    Go watch and support the infinitely better film No Man of God.

    Did they have script, or just a history book?

    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.
