FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Irishchatter Before seeing this film, I have seen a documentary about the cold blooded killer but I don't know much of him 100%. All I knew was that he hasn't known his real father and his mother was 16 when she had him. Also of course I knew he killed a lot of poor innocent young girls.However, after seeing this film, I have learned a lot of who he was as a person. I know Michael Reilly Burke isn't the real Ted Bundy but, he really did look like him in a killer style of form. He was honestly scary, lemme tell ya!I would probably freak out if I ever saw him on the street or even on films. Although I'm sure he is not like that but still, he played a risky character who was for real, a murderer!I honestly can say, this is a not bad horror/crime/biography film even if it was considered the worst movies to watch!

Spikeopath Tricky. As always with serial killer films, you hope that the subject is handled in such a way so as to justify you having invested time in it. Matthew Bright's instalment into the hall of shame legacy left by one Theodore Robert Bundy, is uncompromising and unforgettable. Could the charge of exploitation be levelled at Bright and his backers? No, I don't think so.The advent of time where film is concerned has seen film makers now be able to tackle difficult subjects for maximum impact. Bright, in the main, follows the real life of Bundy and his vile crimes. His home life and trail of destruction are covered graphically, so if anyone was in any doubt about the measure of Bundy's evil via previous film, TV or literary interpretations? Then this is the gaping wound of Bundy tellings, with salt poured in.It's nigh on impossible to recommend as an essential viewing experience, I myself haven't been able to get some of the images out of my head some 5 days after watching it. But that's the point, surely? Some minor fabrications aside (we cheer the events just prior to the electrocution, but it didn't happen), this is one of the best films of the bloody sub-genre of horror it sits in. For impact and Michael Reilly Burke's bold and scary performance as Bundy, it has artistic merit. If you have the stomach for it that is. 8/10

nixskits Matthew Bright's "Ted Bundy" gives us what might contain the best portrayal of a modern serial murderer on film. In the title role, Michael Burke is so revolting and psychopathic, he shows us what the slain and surviving women who met up with Bundy must have seen. His nonstop criminal was a compulsive thief and peeping tom before attempting to take a life for the first time. Ted follows a college gal home from a discotheque and, after he spies on her and masturbates in public while doing so, eventually in a subsequent scene, he steps up to the next level and beats a woman near death (that poor lady apparently survived her ordeal).Once he has crossed that line, all hell breaks loose and any female who comes into his gaze could be a potential crime statistic. His relationship with Boti Bliss is a sick imitation of a loving man who positions himself in society as an upstanding figure and actually is a lethal destruction machine capable of taking lives until stopped by police or a bullet. Or both.Ted later takes his homicidal self on the road and terrorizes several states in the Northwestern US (contrary to the urban legend concerning Debbie Harry, there's no evidence Ted ever went to New York). He manages to con person after person and the crime he eventually was sentenced to die for in Florida shouldn't have been logistically possible. He is the ultimate opportunist and his ability to resume his violence in the last third of the film when that should have been the end of his freedom will disgust any viewer in their right mind. Too many filmmakers try to explain the motives for their subjects' acts. Bright and Burke simply present Ted as he was, a disturbed little boy who never "grew up", but enlarged into an adult offender with twisted fantasies of torture, rape and necrophilia that he brought into a world not ready to deal with these pathologies. He blamed the alcohol and pornography he consumed for his acts, of course, because the extreme audacity any felon like this would need to live with their lack of a conscience never admits that they are at fault.

Chrysanthepop What was Matthew Bright thinking when he made this film? Why did he want to make it? Ted Bundy is one of the most notorious serial killers in the history of True Crime and thus it may have been at least a little interesting to see a movie that included the psychology of this killer and his childhood and even the trial (both of which are intriguing and none were in the film). Normally, I don't like to watch movies about real killers because they run the risk of glamourizing things or appear pretentious and campy. Moreover, on the poster there's a cheap tagline that states something like 'the real Hannibal Lector'. Clearly this was the intent of drawing a crowd. I would much rather watch documentaries or read articles (in any case, this is something I make myself do before watching the movie). Bright's 'Ted Bundy' is halfbaked. It's not entirely true to the facts. Much of it pretty much looks like a series of rape and murder scenes (kind of like the ones you'd see in a cheap slasher flick) patched together while the rest is plain boring. His girlfriend Lee is extremely irritating and if she really was like that, I wonder why he hasn't killed her. 'Ted Bundy' also comes across as misogynistic. All the women in this movie are portrayed as stupid. The last scene, with the children, was supposed to evoke horror but I found this desperate attempt to be hilarious. Michael Reilly Burke isn't a bad actor but he's miscast. Overall, Bright's 'Ted Bundy' is a poorly told and inaccurate story of a cold-blooded killer and a pretentious movie.
