TED BUNDY

America's most prolific serial sex killer…

synopsis

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 abandoned 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 masturbating 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 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?
