Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman

Chad Michael Murray is the Tedster this time around and he looks nothing like the serial killer and his hair appears to be roadkill of an unknown animal. The first half is accurate, at least, with real names of victims used. The second half goes off the rails with Bundy transforming into Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise. A female Seattle cop is made the heroine of the story and the final ten minutes are downright ridiculous. Dramatic license is one thing but a complete revision of history is infuriating. Skip this nonsense and watch No Man of God to see the great performance of Luke Kirby, hopefully an Oscar nominee.

I should have read these reviews before I wasted $40 dollars for two tickets on this embarrassing B grade movie. When you have three people giving a film 10 /10 and an equal number giving it 1/10 then one must be a tad suspicious. This movie is a cynical attempt to make a cheap horror film using a well known story to try and drive up interest. This was so bad that i was compelled to come home and sign up for an IMDb user account so I could write a review to warn others.

At this point in the game, if you're not introducing new information to the topic, you're simply looking to capitalize on a famous murderer with an easy story because you just couldn't get over your personal fascination - to the detriment of the film industry.

Dialogue & direction are one long eye-roll.

Tried really hard to be creepy.

All comes off forced & fake.

Someone should have told them they're already making "American Horror Story".

Not worth the time.

If your going to watch this please know it's mostly a fictional interpretation. This story distorts all the facts about Ted Bundy and adds things to the story that never happened. The real life story of Ted Bundy is truly horrific so there is no need to add flair to the story.

The woman running around acting like she was some mind hunter was ridiculous. Why did the director chose to change how the Chi Omega murders went down?

The guy who played Bundy didn't even look like him. When did Bundy have a handle bar mustache?

The worst movie I've seen this year. Empty, amateurish, and just boring. Murray conveys none of Bundy's reputed charm and the rest of the cast seems like dinner theater rejects. The limited budget shows in every scene with a lack of extras or the kind of polish that would at least mean the movie was interesting to look at.

There was nothing redeeming about the 40 minutes I spent watching. It felt like a high school production. Don't waste your time.
