I've seen this movie twice and on the contrary wouldn't find that the subject matter would be my first choice usually.However I gritted my teeth and subjected myself to it twice.The Producer has done a great job at portraying just how insane the man was not just by having grizzly murder after murder but by giving quite an in depth insight into his private life and how although totally crazy managed to have and keep a girlfriend for quite sometime.Going out socialising was his way of doing research(research being to find his next suitable victim)Eventually he got caught and was executed.I rate this movie on its slickness and its success in showing Ted Bundy for what he truly was 'an absolute walking lunatic' I hope this review helps anyone who hasn't seen this movie i'd advise you watch it if your not faint hearted or queezy.

Michael Reilly Burke does an excellent job potraying the serial killer Ted Bundy. If you have ever seen any real-life footage of Bundy, you realise that it is a very difficult job to play a master of manipulation.
Bundy was slick, manipulative, articulate and charming. He was a master of understanding the psychology of others and manipulating weaknesses in others such a blind -faith, vanity , arrogance and credulousness.
Micheal Reilly Burke manages to capture the Ted Bundy that was also a media darling. Burke allows us to know Bundy is a sadistic killer, but because of his charm we hope deep down we have made a mistake and caught the wrong guy. This is exactly how Ted Bundy operated.
.
Bundy is the best out of the stable of Tartan films focussing on serial killers ( this includes Ed Gein , John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer). Matthew Bright the Director includes some real-life footage of the twisted Bundy that adds more realism to the movie.
I commend Bright for his Directors commentary as it displays he has conducted in depth research on one of the most manipulative men of the 20th century.
The film gives you an insight into your own psychology, so it is a must for those who are interested in human nature as well as true crime.
This is well worth watching

This is in my opinion the best film on the subject of a serial killer.The performance delivered by Micheal Reily Burke is brilliant,i have yet to see him in anything else which is a shame but with hindsight after his devasting portrayel here maybe it possibly alienated casting agents.It is a brave,fearless performance i will always admire.Whilst there was a media myth of Bundy as some all american picture of normality those familiar with Bundy know he was a monstrous freak,a chronic nose picker,kleptomaniac,mostly unemployed,a sock fetishist...the list goes on.Apparently the term serial killer was first coined because of Bundy whose heavily pre meditated acts crossed states.The director Matthew Bright is a cool guy who sadly seems to have vanished.The film is pretty accurate although they cut out Bundy defending himself in court.Golly this guy was a repugnant monster and this movie almost serves as pro capital punishment.It is a dark,savage movie that in places is unremmiting unlike most of the trashy straight to video killer biopics.It certainly is not ideal date movie material and even caution is advised with teenagers who while they may like Hostel or Saw this is horror in its purest sense.But if you are into visceral,challenging dark movies it is well worth watching.A very good film made more powerful by the sad fact it is a true story.
