Ted
Bundy was a chilling combination of boy-next-door good looks and deranged
perversions. At once handsome, charming, intelligent, and charismatic
Bundy was driven and tormented by twisted fantasies and necrophiliac sex.
A boyfriend who had his way with more than a few women, Bundy took his
fantasies to extremes when he abandons his girlfriends to lure, threaten,
and murder more than a hundred unsuspecting women.
"Ted
Bundy" weaves these contradictions into a harrowing tale. Told from
Bundy's point of view, Matthew Bright's film captures the twisted, disturbing
world of one of the most infamous serial killers in history. We follow
Bundy as he feverishly progresses from a Peeping Tom to one of the most
cunning and ruthless murderers who ever lived. Behind his looks and charm,
Bundy sadistically prowls for women who he makes sure will do more than
just play dead. The film maintains a tone of pitch-black comedy in the
face of horror, as Bundy proclaims, "Mostly I want to be normal"
or "Sex is only dirty when you do it right." Brace yourself
because you will be right there with Bundy to find out what "dirty"
really means.
Hold on to the razor's edge
as you rewind the film because this film will haunt you long after the
execution scene. You thought you knew his story before you started watching,
but Ted Bundy delivers more. Will you be certain after watching that if
someone asks, "Who is Ted Bundy?" that you can spot him in a
crowd?
