Summary: Horridly disturbing
Review: I rented Ted Bundy as I have always been interested in serial killers (Especially Ted). But this movie shocked me. It was far too graphic for real life events. The previous review made a good point that the names were wrong at times and what the hell was with the upbeat music when girls bodies were being flung around??? I felt like I was going to vomit. Yes, the film is very factual and has real footage (which scared me even more). But I strongly don't recommend this. When you watch this film you feel more like a Ted Bundy fan, as opposed to finding out info on him. Don't waste your time on this film. I'm an avid avid horror fan, but this movie crossed the line. I just feel so sorry for the victim's families, as if the haven't been through enough.....

Summary: Another pathertic Serial Killer Flick
Review: Yet another is a string of serial killer films that seem to run rampart in the direct to video market. THis movie is an OK one at best. However it sure as hell is better than Dahmer, but not as good as Ed Gein. Ted Bundy is about, well Ted Bundy, a serial killer/Rapist who ran rampart in the 60's and 70's. He killed over 35 women in his spree and escaped twice. The movie tries to reflect on his tale by showing us what he did, to some extnt. There is no nudity in this outside of a few minutes of him with his girlfriend. Instead he takes a blunt object and he bashes them on the head/ He them takes them to a remote location where he violates there corpse (someimes they were alive). After that is all said and done he would go back to living a seemingly normal life. The movie starts in the beggining of his spree and shows some of the techniques he used (most popular being a cast) and it plays all the way towards his execution. As a movie goes there is reason why this is drect to video. There is little doubt that this would have been a box office flop. The movie is very vague at times and focus more on his brutality, than when the time comes for acting only the guy playing Ted seems to do a fairly decent job. Overall this is a renter, but sure as hell not a keeper.

Summary: Sick and twisted, but that's pretty much a given
Review: This movie was unnerving. I prefer the Mark Harmon version. The Deliberate Stranger didn't really go into detail in the killings. It gave more of a look into the "charming" Ted. It also had a better title. Yes, I know that Ted Bundy was a heinous serial killer, but some scenes still really got to me. I felt like I was watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre again, or Sleepaway Camp 2. I did notice that the names weren't correct, but I understood who was who simply by the locations and the young girl was obviously supposed to represent Kimberly Leach because of the time frame and he didn't kill many pre-teens, I don't think. But from the way he was portrayed in this film, I just can't believe his girlfriend could have been that naive. Well, I mean, she said she never really knew Bundy at the end. But I think she got some really accurate glimpses into his mind throughout the course of the movie. And I was a little sickened when they used up-beat musical interludes. It was inappropriate, to say the least.

Summary: Best dramatization possible... (in my opinion)
Review: This film succeeds as an unbiased, well-crafted and unflinching portrait of an American "sociopath" (someone completely disconnected emotionally from others). Just as his life and crimes are portrayed as they occurred, without any attempt at manipulating the audience, his execution is equally blunt, allowing the viewers to see the brutality of the death penalty alongside the savage violence of the man being executed. I have found this film to be the most powerful indictment of the death penalty (and most sympathetic treatment of a serial killer)of any I have seen. I recommend the film highly to any seeking a well made, startling and painfully honest film about a man with a compulsion to destroy.

Summary: Serial Thieves -- on a Serial Killer
Review: While Bundy is still very interesting 11 years after his execution, this depiction is weak and lacking in depth and understanding of the kind of mind Bundy had. Much of the material -- even direct quotes -- are lifted from "The Only Living Witness," the 1983 book written by two reporters who were the ONLY reporters to interview Bundy at length after his Florida murder spree. The subject still is interesting, but most (who understand) won't be interested in second-hand psychiatric babble interlaced with fact and semi-fact.

Summary: Better than most.
Review: Someone below me says Bundy didn't take home severed heads or mess with his victims corpses but he did. In that respect the movie keeps pretty close to the facts. It deals with the severed heads (but not the bodies) he sometimes took back to his house, it doesn't flinch from showing how nuts he was (althought there's no real explicit gory scenes, just hints) and it's all spot on. I'm not sure why they left some things out, like the girl he attacked outside the soriority house after he escaped, the fact that he wasn't finally busted in a white van but in another bug, or why they didn't show the first girl he had (which was the one that really broke him) whom he got back together with then broke off all ties just to get revenge. But I don't know...the humour is just plain nuts! I mean it's dark as I don't know what, but it's all in there. It's weird. It is very funny at times and that's kind of worrisome to me. Should they make a movie about Ted Bundy funny? I guess that's the only way you could make a movie actually focusing on the man and not the police investigation. I liked it more than Deliberate Stranger though. Crazy flick, I'm sure some people will hate it just because of the way it's presented but it's interesting and better than Ed Gein.

Summary: sick man
Review: i think this movie just reveals what a sick sick man he was......to be in his view of the way he acted in real life was really strange...i am glad he is dead........i loved when they showed him all upset about getting executed, like anyone would feel sorry for him.......

Summary: Warning
Review: This DVD was a load of [stuff]. This movie skims over some facts and events and totally ignores others. It tells very little of how Bundy manipulated victims. It ignores how much support he had from friends and work collegues when first caught and how they faught for his release. It ignores Bundy's arrogance with the police. It actually portrays Bundy as having no confidence in his crimes and when being interviewed by the police. Other than one line it ignores the fact that he represented himself in court. Skims over his two escapes from prison. If you want to see a factual movie on Bundy watch the Deliberate Stranger on Video.

Summary: Not a good movie...
Review: I rented this movie expecting an accurate depiction of Bundy's life, as a serial killer and as a human. I got neither. I have studied Bundy extensively in school (I was a Sociology major at the University of Washington, where Bundy took Psychology classes, one of my professors was an investigator in the King County cases), and I was amazed how few facts there were. Not only that, but there were things in that movie that NO ONE should ever see, I can't believe someone would watch this as a director and think it looks like something someone should watch... The Deliberate Stranger with Mark Harmon is more accurate than this, this is just garbage.

Summary: Killer Movie!...
Review: Michael Reilly Burke is phenomenal as Bundy. If you enjoyed the Mark Harmon Bundy flick of yesteryear, you'll die for this one -pardon the pun. Journey into the psyche of the man for whom the term 'serial killer' was actually coined. Graphic, uncompromising look at the murders, rapes, and executions proved stimulating in this version - they were lacking in the movies Ed Gein and Dahmer and the previous Bundy flick. A must see for all Bundy fans like me. I had to order from Amazon.com cause the pansies at Best Buy don't sell this or Dahmer - go figure.
