Did you know that Debbie “Blondie” Harry once got into Ted’s cab but left because she forgot her blow in the club? Cocaine saves more lives than you know.

Holy shit

Ted Bundy is my favorite (boy, does that sound wrong). I am excited but a little skeptical of the guy from one tree hill playing him, I would have never had him in my list. The guy from You would be my choice.

I agree. Ever since I watched You I've had Penn Badgley mind to play the role. If you watch the show he's very good at switching from normal to crazy real quick. He also blends in like how Ted Bundy has always been potrayed as a chameleon sort of character.

I think this is one of the only actors that really nails that sinister smile look down, so I think he would have been so good in the role.

Interested to see how this is though as I do find Bundy pretty interesting from what I've read/seen about him. I watched the Efron one and I thought he did a decent job and did look pretty similar in certain angles, just didn't quite nail it down fully for me.

Yeah this was not good. Feels cheaply made and acting wasn't that great. I gave up about 45 minutes in, give or take, first time I've done that with a movie in a while. I think the Zac Efron movie was better by miles even if I had a hard time buying him as Bundy. Not sure I'd recommend it. This guy really didn't look like Bundy much either. Honestly I would say just watch a true crime documentary on Bundy if you have any interest in it at all. I don't think anything matches the real footage of him as it does sends chills down your spine knowing what he did.

Reviews for this are dodgy as heck too, definitely some fake reviews going around. More people are seeing it now and it is not getting a good reception. Avoid this, or try to find it for free. I wouldn't pay to watch this.
