Summary: The Anti-Harmon
Review: Literally thousands of women across the country 'fell in love' with Ted Bundy thanks to Mark Harmon's portrayal in The Deliberate Stranger. I came to appreciate this latest redo once I realized what it was...A brutal, in your face satire of Harmon's Deliberate Stranger. Yes, Michael Reilly Burke is over the top as Bundy. Manic 24/7. However, Burkes' Bundy adds elements of Ted's character left out of "Stranger." Bundy was a successful 'up and comer' only on the surface. Like the true serial killer he was. Bundy's life, as he presented it to the world, was an illusion. As his one time friend Ann Rule observed, Bundy was only like person Harmon portrayed him to be when he was at the height of his killing spree. In reality he was a neurotic, petty thief on the verge of flunking out of school. I have no idea how accurate the execution of Bundy is in this version of his life, but I hope that it is. If true, Bundy got a little bit of his own back right at the end. One cannot miss the irony of those scenes. This is worth the watch if you can deal with the raw in your face violence and cruelty that makes this the perfect juxtaposition of The Deliberate Stranger.

Summary: regarding Ted Bundy........
Review: I find the stories is pieces(story is useless) and it stress more on killings. The opening shots show that Ted bundy steals flower pots, television sets in a kind of expression and action which looks funny and the sex scene inside is more of less a 'push' and 'push' scene. The actor's script in this movie shows that the killer is a problematic or 'psycotic' person and at the end of the movie the killer was sentenced to death by electrocution. This movie is one of the lousy story based film which I've seen in theatres.

Summary: Well..........
Review: ... the movie wasnt that bad. I think it was a little too upbeat and funny though. I;m thinkin the best part in the movie was the very beginning when he stood in front of the mirror practicing his "Hello" speech and making a bunch of incomprehensible noises. Now that was character. I also found it very amusing when Ted was applying lipstick to a severed head saying "Soo pretty, yes you are". His relationship with his girlfriend was sickening and perverse, as with his relationship with women in general. This movie failed in humanizing Ted Bundy, though it was pretty entertaining. ... Well, at least Michael Reilly Burke kinda SOUNDED like Ted Bundy. But this want not an effective movie, I didnt get anything from it. I felt no empathy at all for Bundy, I just think he's an even bigger monster than I originally thought.

Summary: I loved it!
Review: This video of Bundy gives more of an introspective. It had little to do with the investigation into the murders, but more to do with his personality, the music he listened to, the women he interacted with. Being a huge fan of true crime movies, I was very impressed on this particular insight into the way Bundy must have thought. This movie brought him alive for me. It was exactly what I've been wanting to see for a long time...

Summary: Interesting character study
Review: Some reviewers on this list claim that Ted Bundy is "not accurate". But really, does it totally matter? Read a biography or better yet watch the A&E Biography episode to get the real scoop. Did the film creep me out? Yes. Did I find the film disturbing? Yes. Was the film entertaining? Yes. Well, that's all that really matters. I've seen the Mark Harmon film years ago and I really found that scary, because it pretty much covered the facts as was reported on Bundy. But it was more of a police procedural film than Ted Bundy, which I think is more of a character study. The Mark Harmon version (I've forgotten the name of it) portrays Bundy as a suave law student who could basically get any girl he wanted, while at the same time having a sick and twisted side. Ted Bundy portrays him as a total pathetic loser with a sick and twisted side, and that's what makes this film most fascinating. The director, Matthew Bright has an incredible sense of humor when it comes to his directing choices and that puts him high on my list of directors to watch. ...

Summary: If I have to give it one star.....
Review: This movie [wasn't good]...
Ted is played by some guy who dosen't even resemble Ted, filmed as if in a B movie and personally I found a lot of the movie to be very bad humor that took away from Ted's horrendous crimes. The victims did all blend into one another, there was absolutely nothing in it that showed how 'normal' Ted really appeared to be. All you saw was some cleptomaniac, sociopath who raped/killed/ and masterbated constantly. To the point of it being funny. This is some slasher type flick that takes away from the fact that this was real and this did happen, I would be very upset if I were any of the victim's family, but even further upset to see [something] like this and my daughter's murder glorified like it was in this film. Watch "The Stranger Beside Me" Ann Rule's movie, and see how Ted was from someone who really KNEW Ted..
Pass on this movie, not even worth the rental fee.

Summary: So Scary!
Review: It was a very intense and scary movie. The one who play Ted Bundy is very good, he can change his mood so fast, anger to laughter, it's very creepy to see that. It's so scary to know that this man Ted Bundy actually existe that this movie is not fiction it's true that really had happen. How can a person do all theses terrible things, enjoyed all that? I will never understand that!

Summary: Promises Promises. Failed Promises
Review: Not insightful and not interesting this is more a grisly series of vignettes than a movie of depth or substance. Rather than taking us into the mind of the killer as the box said it was just an opportunity to display Ted's insanity in a variety of different settings. Even the girls all blends together since there is no effort made by the filmmakers to give them any humanity. In this case the TV movie was much better.

Summary: gratuitous violence
Review: Unfortunately, if you are seeking to learn more about the psyche of TB (Ted Bundy) from this film, you're not going to really get there. This "dramatization" , like a slasher film, focuses on TB's murder spree, with very graphic depictions, including disturbing sexual content, and VERY FEW real life film shots and photos thrown in the mix in an attempt to add credence to this otherwise violently banal film. The film skips TB's background and upbringing, as well as his complex "normal" relationships, social, educational and political involvements. By ignoring these important factors, this film does not serve to teach anyone about the dangers that can come from a seemingly normal person, and that complex duality can exist, hidden in a structured environment. If you go into this film knowing nothing about TB, you'll come out knowing nothing more than that he was a cold-blooded murderer and rapist. In the director's voiceover (DVD spec features) he explains that the victims real names were not used out of respect for them (he wants to show what has happend to the women at the hands of TB), yet he never humanizes them; we do not get background, real names, and very little, if any, real and useful information. In this film, they are just nameless victims. In the voiceover, you get the feeling that the director is rather enjoying at times the clever bravado of TB's maneuvers and there seems to be an overall tone of amusement, rather than empathy for the victims. This film serves as nothing more than gratification for the macabre and disturbing sexual violence. By focusing on only the horror, violence and just plain creepiness of these crimes through dramatization, I feel that this film is an irresponsible representation of actual events that affected a great many people.

Summary: So Killer Be Killed, Is That The Answer???
Review: That movie was creepy, I think I going to have nightmares for a while and be scare of men for a couple of time and wonder if they are not serial killers! Very good acting performance from the one who play Bundy. At first I though it would be a very bad movie but it's better then I though, yeah not very accurate and lots of unanswered questions is not told in this movie, you can find them on Books who talked about Ted Bundy more then in this movie. Very creepy to see Bundy at first looking at the mirror and saying, "Hi I am Ted Bundy...Hi I am Ted Bundy..." and changing his voice and laughing, very creepy!Seeying him killing all theses women and seeying him even sleeping next to some death women bodies, so creepy so odd!The scene where a girl fight with Bundy in the car and manage to get aways, that was a good scene, I was thinking yeah slap that jerk, hit him, give him what he deserve.So scary when he run after a girl in the woods and she fall down and stand up again and run but he manage to get to her. It make me fell when I dream when I run and try to escape someone but I always fall and I got problem to run and even walked, so scary.The question is WHY Ted Bundy did all theses? Because he didn't had a father he felt he was a bastard, because he felt he didn't have a good enough job and good enough car and girls who were richer then him won't take a look at him because he didn't had money and a nice car! Odd thinking he had, so smart and at the same time so evil and having a so odd thinking, so weird!They said he was praying and crying before he was killed, so he was afraid, yeah it's true he his human even if he his a serial killer. Is it the answer to kill the killer? Now he's more free then stuck in jail!
