Ted Bundy (2002)

I'm not sure movie was designed to be 'liked' in a traditional sense. In case you've never heard of the titular character, Ted Bundy, he was one of the most notorious serial killers in modern day history. Seeing as, even today, most of his crimes will only be known to him, this film gives us a reasonable idea of what he was like. And it's safe to say that he wasn't very nice.I haven't looked into his life well enough to say how accurate the facts are, but, from what I've gathered, this is a pretty good representation of how he acted. It's near impossible for any viewer to feel any sympathy for him; if the film has any sort of appeals it's because it's more like a car crash where you just can't seem to look away. Bundy meets women. He's amazingly charming then he kills them. If anything, it serves as a severe reminder to be more than a little weary about people you have only just met (and don't go anywhere alone with them!).I have seen a couple other movies made about Ted Bundy's life and I would say that this one is the best. The others do touch on different aspects of his life, i.e. his dabbling with local politics. However, although this one almost completely omits this aspect of his life, I do feel this is the best one overall.The film itself doesn't really contain any 'big names' you'll recognise and does have a kind of 'made-for-TV' kind of feel for it. But, if you're looking for a half-decent biopic movie about Bundy's life, then you can do worse. However, you will need a strong stomach as he his (brilliantly portrayed by Michale Reilly Burke) and therefore as sick as they come, both in his mind and his actions.Like I say... you won't really 'like' this film as there's really little to like about the entire of the subject matter. However, if you're looking for at least a little insight into the minds of one of the nastiest men in modern times, then you'll find more than you want to know here.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Now, be prepared, because I'm about to save you nearly 2 hours of your life. I can't help but feel that somebody watched American Psycho and decided that it needed to be remade, badly, very badly. What you should have here is a film about Ted Bundy; a sick and twisted man who committed crimes that would make the devil himself lose a boner. It should be a film that is locked inside Bundy's head. A psychoanalysis of a man constantly battling the urge to kill yet never winning and somehow thriving in his defeat. But no, here it is folks, the American Psycho remake I sure as hell don't remembering ordering. I find it incredibly disrespectful to the victims and their families that any murder scenes were shown at all, let alone the fact that they were this graphic. It's torture porn, pure torture porn, the very stuff Bundy ironically blamed for his murders in the first place. The film has no weight to it and is purely a very shoddy attempt at a horror film. All in all, you will gain nothing from this film in relation to Bundy. If you pretend this isn't about Bundy, that the characters are fictional and not genuine people whose families are still no doubt effected everyday by their loss, then what you have is still a below standard horror.

Really what such a laughable movie as it is poorly acted and poorly written. As though it is not funny of what the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy did. Still, the poor acting and poor writing makes it really funny.It shows Michael Reilly Burke as the leader title character. Who is bright and intelligent. Then he is stealing in addition to murdering. With bad music and really a cheesy storyline. And how his girlfriend Lea did not suspect at all, her boyfriend was doing these things to these young women.Despite joking about them. Still, you would think she would be suspicious. It leads up to his two CO prison escapes, his downfall in Miami and execution in the end. And kids saying his name in the end. Which is very funny there.One messed up movie and one badly cheesy movie.

This is a very disturbing film. The rage that was in Ted Bundy (Michael Reilly Burke) was not easy to watch. I don't think they could have found anyone better than Burke to do the character. Smooth and easy to the ladies until he got them where he wanted and then he was maniacal in his treatment.He had a fetish for necrophilia, as he wanted his women almost dead as he raped them.His smooth manner even enabled him to keep the guards off guard after he was arrested facilitating an escape. He managed to escape twice before he had his date with Old Sparky. Even a plea to help solve all the murders he committed, would not save him.He was probably the worst serial killer in history. He was certainly a disgusting man.
