Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman

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.

This is really kind of an odd film.. it doesn't really follow Bundy telling his story, nor does it really follow the police chasing him. At first, you think it's going to be more about the female police detective pursuing Bundy.. but your'e wrong.... It's a hodgepodge of scenes around the "theme" of Bundy and the chase without ever really focusing on any one specific storyline. There's no "core storyline" at all.

It seems as though they started with the idea/concept of wanting to portray the sorority house Bundy is infamous for, then tried to pad out a film around that idea. If it weren't for the sprinkles of coarse language, and a single adult-themed scene, I'd have sworn this was "made for tv".

I sat through the entire thing without realizing it - expecting SOMETHING to pick up and be more engaging. Ultimately it's a film which, through character dialog (as in the scripted words for the characters), literally TELLS the audience the facts surrounding Bundy rather than showing them. And its the same story that's been done a million times, only with less detail, less interesting characters, and CLEARLY less direction and money.

This really is at the absolute bottom of the "Bundy films" I've seen over the years.

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.

This movie was absolute garbage. The acting was very amateur - not a single good actor/actress was in this movie. Don't waste your time or money - I should've seen The Rock's new Disney movie instead.

I have seen all of the Ted Bundy movies. The Ted Bundy 2000, The Deliberate Stranger and No Man of God are the 3 best. This was the absolute worst.

From fiction to budget to acting. Piss poor.
