Bright did a fantastic job.
Overall I liked this flick. I had seen it prior to reading any reviews anywhere (in print or the net, etc etc) about it. While I found it disturbing, I think it did justice to showing us, as outsiders, a glimpse of the chaos that goes on in the mind of a serial killer. There were several scenes that could be labeled "stupid" or "pointless." There are scenes that leave you scratching your head and going, "Now just why in the he** did he do that?!" There are scenes that made me recoil. I was repulsed, but I think it's what made the flick so good. Yes, you do see lots of blood here and there, but it's more of what the director "doesn't" show you that gets your imagination going. And to know that this was all basically true... that all these things that happened in this movie were based on the actions of a real man... it just makes it that much more fascinating. I rented this flick from the video store and brought it home to watch it. I sat glued to my television, and it must have taken me a good 10-15 minutes after the movie was over to shake off the "dark cloud" kind of feeling that it left me with. Maybe it's because I can remember growing up during the time that all this went on in real life, but one thing is for sure... this is a good movie! I think the guy that played Ted Bundy did a great job, too.
