Editor's Note
The accounts vary and the actual number will never be known, but the deaths of at least 36 women can be attributed to Theodore Robert Bundy. This biographical horror film begins in Seattle in 1974 where the duplicitous nature of Bundy (Michael Reilly Burke) becomes unmistakably evident. He is working as a polite crisis hotline volunteer, but his callers don't know that he is secretly a sexual deviant in a bow tie whose sexual desires become increasingly perverse until they culminate in his killing spree. Meanwhile, an unsuspecting girlfriend (named "Lee" in the film, this woman--played by Boti Ann Bliss--wrote a book about her life with Bundy under the alias Elizabeth Kendall) dotes on her lover, whose crimes would go unsolved for years. The film follows Bundy's murderous trail through two prison escapes and his eventual execution in Florida.This detailed account of Bundy's exploits contains chilling murder sequences and a dark sense of humor. The film ends with a memorably bleak execution scene which includes archival footage of the mob outside the prison. The subject matter is not new for distributor First Look, which also released DAHMER and ED GEIN. The latter benefited from the creative team of screenwriter Stephen Johnston and producers Hamish McAlpine and Michael Muscal, who reteamed on this project.

1 of 5 Beyond Bad Friday, June 20, 2003
A Viewer from Rockville, MD
This is no doubt one of the five worst movies I've seen in my life. No insight into Bundy's motivation, no insight into the police investigation, and a dehumanizing of Bundy's victims. No doubt Bundy was the monster as depicted in this movie, but the psychology of what drove him would have been more interesting than an endless stream of random brutality. Was this review helpful?  
4 of 5 Chilling portrayal of an infamous American killer Thursday, February 06, 2003
A Viewer from Miami, Florida
This flick is very well done and down right stomach churning in scenes. Mike Burke, the guy who plays Bundy had me convinced. A very well done drama absolutely blowing away "The Deliberate Stranger" with Mark Harmon. Was this review helpful?
