If you are looking for a documentary about Ted Bundy, you may want to start somewhere else. Joe Berlinger (Director) takes Elizabeth Kendall's (Ted Bundy's girlfriend) book and portrays the charming and charismatic side of Bundy.
When I first saw Zac Efron was playing Bundy I was intrigued, not my who I would have imagined playing a serial killer, but after watching it was a great choice. Efron gives us a hint of what woman in the 70's were feeling for Bundy. How could a man that is this charming be this psycho. Giving us an idea of just how one close to him could get caught up in buying everything he is selling to the people around him who have grown to care for him.
There are some stories that, at least for me, you hear once and may never really want to revisit it again. The Ted Bundy story falls under that category. In this movie, which was a good watch, we get that completely different perspective from anything you have seen or heard about the Bundy stories. My take is its a good movie, great for Netflix, kept my attention but wouldn't need to re-watch it. If I went to the movies to see it I would be disappointed. It leaves you with feels that on a Friday night movies night I just wouldn't want.
Who is this movie perfect for: Anyone who doesn't know the Ted Bundy Stories, doesn't want to do a deep dive into the cases of a sick serial killer but wants to know the high level story from the point of view of his girlfriend, who was completely fooled by it all...
