Plot

The movie is a dramatization of the life of serial killer Ted Bundy from his traumatic childhood to his arrest and trial.

The film begins by giving its audience a peak into Ted Bundy's childhood and how distressing it was and then leading up to when he becomes an adult. It later gives us the insight into the unexplored motivations of how he becomes the infamous killer he is known for today.

Critical response

Dead Central gave it a mostly negative review, citing that it told nothing of interest and resembled an episode of America's Most Wanted; they found Corin Nemec in the title role tried his best but looked far too old.[1] What's On TV also praised Nemec and said the film "looks great, sounds great", but found it shallow compared to an earlier film about Bundy, The Deliberate Stranger starring Mark Harmon.[2] Horror Review gave it 2 1/2 out of 5, praising the film's look but criticizing its editing.[3] DVD Talk found it "meandering", neither good, nor bad enough to be kitschy fun.[4]
