Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer

You know, this documentary was about the women. The women who had their lives turned upside down by a demented killer. This isn't just about Ted...we've all heard about Ted!! We've seen many things done about Ted! It was time for the others to have a voice. Did you know how many victims? Did you know their names? Bet you didn't!! Did you know he had a brother? Bet you didn't. But you did know about Ted, we ALL KNOW about Ted! So get off your soap box!!!! There's no agenda here, except to shed light on the literal hundreds of lives that were affected by this disgusting human!! That's right, hundreds! All the parents, friends, siblings, classmates, bosses...all the people who had to go on living after this man had the audacity to abduct, rape, and beat to death all these women. If you got your little panties in a wad because women were bashing men, then You need to step back and look at the facts!!! They weren't claiming anything that wasn't true! Damn y'all, get it together! No women cops, no women in the FBI, isn't just something they said, those were the rules, and y'all know it. And let's back up and see how well the men did! Wouldn't listen to other cops from other districts and let him escape twice! Allowed to represent himself and get married during trial! Wouldn't listen to resin because "can't be Ted, he's a good guy" their egos were so HUGE and they couldn't be wrong! Well they were. They were all wrong!! Then they let him have sex while on death row. Now I'm not man bashing, just stating the facts. The women who made this documentary didn't ruin it! They were telling a story, their story! Because, I'll say again, we all know everything about Ted, it was time to see and hear from a different angle! You knew what you were getting into when you started it! FALLING FOR A KILLER. That's the title. There's no propaganda there's no lefty message. There's facts, plain and simple! It's disgusting how some of y'all can watch this and still bash women. It's disgusting how y'all are so offended by their stories that you can't just shut your f-ing mouth and watch in amazement how this man ripped lives apart and no one wanted to listen to the women! You are disgusting if you made a comment about how the women messed up "what could've been a great documentary" Strong women still scare little men so badly that they can't ever give credit where it's due. This documentary was a voice, a voice to the women, not to Ted!! Obviously a voice that small men can't bear to hear. Ted had his time in movie after movie and documentary after documentary. It was time for him to shut up and let the others speak! I'll go out on a limb here and say everyone who hates this documentary, knew everything about Ted already, but never even knew the names of all his victims or even how many there were. So I'll say again, shut your tiny mouth and your tiny voice and listen to what's being said! If it was your daughter, your mother, your sister, your wife, wouldn't you want people to know about her? Wouldn't you want people to know her story? Since for decades it's only ever been about the maniacal, disgusting, narcissistic woman hating killer! But still, even after all that, some men still want to stifle the women and accuse them of lying and making stuff up, or having an agenda! What agenda???! Telling the facts of how things were back then!! And obviously still are today by some of yalls comments! You should be ashamed. If you were my son, you would disgust me.

I've watched countless serial killer documentaries, and read countless books, and *this* is how it should be done. Bundy is the story, but he is not the narrative. Rather, he is the common thread that unites the testimonies of victims, survivors, and their families, and it is they who are at the forefront, telling us their experiences in their own words. It's heartbreaking, and compelling, and absolutely top-notch film-making.

The documentary was something else. From the brand new interviews to unseen photos to new crime details. Elizabeth "Liz" Kendall and her daughter, Molly Kendall, were simply remarkable and brave to finally share their stories. They have been laying low for almost 40 years and have not talked about Ted Bundy not even once. They have respected the victims and families but it was their time to share their story and I was so glad they did. I can't even imagine what they have gone through, they were the ones that lived. They were so professional and soft spoken through this entire documentary. It gave the viewer a complete different view on Ted Bundy. Thank you for your brave voices to all the brand new interviewers that came forward for this documentary. The music choice and open intro was right on the money too. It set the scene and I couldn't help but binge-watch every single episode the day the documentary came out. Thank you again for such a wonderful documentary.

I have watched a lot of documentaries about Ted Bundy, What made this so different is that it focused on Ted's victims including Elizabeth and Molly Kendall, Ted's long term girlfriend and her daughter. I appreciated the filmmakers setting the story within its historical context. I especially appreciated hearing from Elizabeth & Molly Kendall. I have often wondered what they were thinking and feeling and I have so much compassion and appreciation for what they went through as well as the families and friends of of the young women Bundy murdered. All were victims of him and as a woman I think we are well served to know how men like Ted use our kindness and willingness to help against us as they prey upon us. I was left thinking a lot about that time as I was only a year or two younger than his most of his Washington State victims and how culture shaped our attitudes, behavior p, fears and expectations. My father was a sociopath and I understand all too well what havoc they wrought on those who come into contact with them. Thank you to the Kendalls and all those who shared their stories. I wish them peace and happiness. I think it would be great if someone would make a documentary on misogyny. It is so prevalent in our culture and it is not well understood.

Some harp on feminist messaging. I didn't see that at all. How could you not get women's perspective when 100% of this serial perp's victims were female? Bundy personified evil. Beyond sick, the devil if there is one. I've been around sick, evil before so I'm kind of fascinated by it's aspects and impacts. I highly recommend this. Very well done.
