    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.

    Silly

    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.

    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.

    Written by a freshman Woman's Studies Major

    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 laughed the whole time at how bad this movie was

    This movie was absolute garbage. The acting was very amateur - not a single good actor/actress was in this movie. Don't waste your time or money - I should've seen The Rock's new Disney movie instead.
