5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FILM , July 4, 2007

By	fmwaalex "fmwaalex" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

TED BUNDY

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life, and I really mean that, independent or major studio film, this is by far a classic film. This film is about the real life serial killer Ted Bundy who terrorized many a young lady in his time and still became a celebrity. That of course was towards the end of his life on this earth, it is shocking how he raped and killed women yet so many of them loved him while he was in jail for the last time before his execution.

This film superbly written by Stephen Johnston and director Matthew Bright is what every based on true events movie should be, a straight forward in your face picture. This film is not preachy in any way, and doesn't take any side nor does it heroinize [not sure that is even a word] the film's killer Bundy. This film does not show any sympathy to the killer at all, for some reason some films like to make you feel bad for the killer by showing him/her as a person with problems, mental most of the time, some like to use a bad childhood as an excuse for a killer. Instead this film just shows you what happened, like it or not this man existed and really committed these crimes.

Bundy is played masterfully by Michael Reilly Burke, when viewing this film the first I had no doubt in my mind that I was really seeing Ted Bundy on my screen. He really plays the part perfectly, he is very creepy in one scene and wholesome and charming in the next. Matthew Bright did an excellent job as the director for this film, his direction is suburb and you can tell he really wanted to make the best movie possible. Of course you all know the story; Bundy brutally killed then raped [in that order] various women for years. He was even caught a couple of times and escaped from prison only to start doing it all again. The weird thing about it was that he actually had a girlfriend that would anything for him, that includes playing dead while they had sex [creepy]. The girlfriend was played masterfully by Boti Ann Bliss, her performance was outstanding and I can see why she was cast.

Now comes the real messed up part, when he was in jail the last time before his execution he received hundreds of fan letters from WOMEN every where. Speaking of his execution, Burke's performance is painfully good during the scenes were he is being prepped for the chair, and I mean painfully. It is the one scene that made me feel for the guy, I could really see the fear in his eyes, and his screams had me cringing. This was an excellent work of art.

4.0 out of 5 stars TED BUNDY - FEATURE FILM - VERY UNDER-RATED, March 25, 2007

By	William R. Richards "FREEBIRD" (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

TED BUNDY starring Matthew Bright is a VERY UNDER-RATED FILM. While the disturbing content is for mature audiences only, this is a good film. Well acted, the film uses a chronological approach to Ted Bundy's promising yet bizarre and eventually disturbing life. While Ted Bundy's crimes were terrible, the film also infers that Bundy suffered mentally, and his acts were to some extent uncontrollable. Some actual footage from Bundy's trail including pictures and reporter film is used in this movie as well. This is a sick flick that is surprisingly well done.

2.0 out of 5 stars Toooo cheesy!, February 18, 2007

By	Beamees (South Alabama USA) - See all my reviews

When I ordered this I was expecting a gruesome horror flick. So much of the actual story was left out that this was hardly believable and the acting was corny to boot.
