A note to Michael Feifer - movie maker?
1 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I do hope that the writer, producer, director of this movie reads viewer comments, but I doubt it, despite his continual references made to 'internet movie bloggers'. I have to say that this movie would be by far the least researched movie in the history of movie making. Made worse by Mr. Feifers narration on his DVD. I do realise Independent movie making is different to network backed movies in their budget constraints, but surely even the smallest budget would allow for it's writer to research facts before spouting off non-truths in his commentary. He stumbles through telling the audience to "Look after your children" because Ted Bundy was an abused child which in turn caused his 'craziness'. #1. He was far from crazy. He was cold, calculated, calm and the epitome of an evil sociopath and psychopath. # 2. If you took the time to research your subject, you would know that he was not an abused child, sexually or otherwise. In an interview by Dr. James Dobson the day before his execution, Ted said in great detail how he had a very normal, stable and nurtured childhood where there was no abuse of any kind. He went to great lengths in this interview to make sure no one in the future could ever blame his upbringing and make it a reason for his evil doings. Oddly enough, this is exactly what your movie has set out to do. Your movie shows him as a cowering abused child with a drunken father in a tense family situation without any other siblings in sight, despite him having 5. Bundy also remarked on how his parents were church-going non-drinkers who were wonderful to him and his siblings. His step father being his sister's/real mothers husband was not abusive at all, and was a non-drinker. Not only was the movie flawed with non-truths, poorly researched material, the annoying terrible music throughout did nothing to detract from the really badly acted script, in turn adding to how appalling it is. Really awful independent film which does little to inspire the other imaginative independent film makers into taking the risk to get their movies out there. I have no idea how this even got to tape, let alone fill the shelves of my local video shop. Don't waste your money or your time.
