[@deepshaking1]

That's just a confirmed number. There's a much higher estimate of one's they suspect him of doing but he never confessed to them. He had a rule system of sorts of which murders he would talk about and a lot of the suspected ones fall under those categories. I forgot what those rules actually were but they're on the Internet somewhere if you're really curious. This never made any sense to me because it's like why would you commit the crime against them but still feel morally wrong talking about it?

[@kristalcampbell3650]

I think that the reservation was that he's beyond a normal person in the portrayal. They get a sex symbol to play him and he is extremely suave so there becomes a certain point that regardless of authorial intent the killer becomes sexy and cool. I'm not arguing that this has or hadnt happened here but that's the reservation that I've come across. It's like Tony Soprano David Chase fully intended for the audience to be disgusted by the violence and selfishness regarding Tony but one of his macho posturing went so far that some audiences missed the message and though " damn this guy is cool and tough and says and does things deep down I wish I could say and do" to the point that Chase implied he was a little disgusted by the audience's bloodlust by the end. Similarly madmen tried to convey don drapers fundamental brokenness but he got the girls and was stylish so people still had madmen parties and wanted to play don for a day.

[@Firegirl483]

@@kristalcampbell3650 They got a sex symbol to play him because Ted Bundy had a GIGANTIC fanclub of girls who thought he was extremely sexy and decided he couldn't have done those things based just on that.

[@birdiehouse143]

@@kristalcampbell3650 I wish they got someone a little less popular but still the, for lack of a better word, same level of attractive. Because the whole reason they used someone so attractive is because A LOT of women thought he was a heartthrob and literally protested for him. Its smart to use someone who is extremely attractive because if people look beyond that they'll be in the same mind set most people who knew Ted were in, "hes to charming too be a killer". I think some people need to just have their morals checked, because looking at real life events put into a very detailed movie and walking away from it thinking "damn, he was hot" is kind of ignorant.

Ted was abusive towards Liz and definitely not the way he was portrayed in the movie. Biggest inaccuracy, and far more relevant to the plot and more important than if the court scenes were pronounced verbatim or not

[@ami5marion]

According to the director the purpose of the movie was to be insightful in the relationship between Liz and Ted, and it got lost during the second half. Ignoring that mayor detail gives the vibe that the relationship between Liz and Ted was super great and romantic which was not the case. Great actors but imo they missed the point halfway

[@jasmine-zw6wo]

It was hot

[@GeorgiaGradler]

they weren’t glamorizing ted bundy, ted bundy was known for being extremely charming and women were almost obsessed with him. we’re seeing this from liz’s point of view, she questioned herself, blamed herself, and believed at first we was innocent. as the viewer we are supposed to feel the love, the pain, the confusion, and everything else that she experienced. this movie showed an entire new perspective, and frankly, it was fantastic. the haunting of sharon tate: a pregnant lady was brutally murdered, his movie was extremely disrespectful and disgusting

I did like that it was a new perspective but I feel like it didn’t correctly portray their relationship.

@@mayay6080 but i think thats the point! they want you to sympathize with him. its not a film about how wrong he was or how manipulative (this we already know), its a film about how in love she was even in bad confused situations.

[@Potatopot724]

@@mayay6080 The thing is, this is Liz's perspective. Many abusive, manipulitive, and otherwise toxic relationships are, in the mind of the victim, as they are here. The victim thinks "abuser is so nice and so perfect most of the time, even though there was bad moments they're not so bad...". Its why some people find it so hard to accept the reality of it being a bad relationship and end it; they love the abuser's good side so much they're willing to overlook unacceptable and possibly dangerous bad side.

It was perfect for Zac to play Ted. They used the actual footage of the young women at Teds court session saying things like “he’s too attractive to do it’” “he’s charming” “he’s hot”. Which is why it’s so perfect for Zac to play it, he’s this day and ages heart throb, he’s attractive! And charming! He COULD be a modern day Ted Bundy. Good looking enough to make women trust him.

[@rachaelholland1942]

It made it all real again that all the psychotic mind fuck ted is all real and we are should be on toes about people in our lives

[@kimberlyhaines107]

That’s part of the reason he’s my favorite serial killer. Since I was 12 or 13 (maybe younger), I became fascinated with the history and psychology. Like, I literally have an encyclopedia on serial killers. And Bundy was the first one I really remember learning about, and even though there have been killers who were worse than him, he sticks out. At 6, I wasn’t socializing well, with few emotions and had to see a therapist. I can’t watch violent things and not have it effect me - but I have Borderline Personality Disorder (took them till I was 28 to diagnose me), which possesses some psychopathic traits. And like Bundy I’m highly intelligent, but was emotionally and mentally abused by a few family members - a bit like Bundy’s childhood. But studying his life, had he never killed, he could have become high profile lawyer or politician. And he had plenty of female friends. He even worked at a rape and suicide hotline and insisted he walk her to her car because of how late at night it would be. He even helped make up a profile for the Green River Killer that ended up being incredibly accurate once they caught him. Some seriously dismiss his victims reaching triple digits, but if they really researched his WHOLE life, it isn’t really that impossible. Though there is the issue that quite a few of the serial killers in the 70s and 80s lived vaguely in the same area of the country, and a lot of times their MOs were very similar. It’ll probably be impossible to ever get an accurate number of victims for those killers in the 60s - 80s. But movies like this in a way need to be done, because just because someone’s always charming, doesn’t mean they’re always nice. At least I was smart enough to realize my mental patterns could easily have led me down the same path, but learned early enough to stop it, even if I didn’t realize it.

I think what made this film enjoyable for me was the way Zac portrayed Ted. He was scarily enticing.

It freaks me out, even more, when you remember that Extremely Wicked is based on true events.

[@TheMsLollidella]

Felt exactly the same. For years I've been reading about bundy and other killers biographies so I always have this idea of them in my head. Efron really portrays how I imagine Bundy to have been. Super cocky, charismatic in his own way type of person and someone people dont feel afraid of at first glance. And the events that unfolded were just as it has been at the time. He had his fangirls even although he was a suspect for over 30 murders I believe. I thought I wouldn't enjoy the movie as much as I did and it was honestly good perspective on the victim's part.

Seeing the way he acted, seeing him manipulate the people that loved him was honestly horrifying. Anyone who says this movie romanizes Ted Bundy hasn’t seen the movie or just doesn’t get it. This movie did more for his victims than it would have if we saw him in the act. Seeing him act so “charming” and without remorse knowing what horrific things he did was terrifying and it gave me chills. He wanted people to love and feel sorry FOR HIM. People tend to look up these stories or hear about these real events and it’s hard to see it as real or ted as anything but an obvious bad guy. But he was not an obvious monster. He was a monster, but he wasn’t obvious. He was human. Anyway, I’m rambling and can’t really articulate just how this movie made me feel but it made me feel many emotions and it was very well done.

Most people don’t understand how TRULY dangerous Bundy really was... there’s a reason he was rated a 22 (which is the highest) on Stone’s scale of psychotic killers. He was charming, manipulative, narcissistic and cunning. He was able to lure women into his cars for a long time. That takes charm. That takes people believing that he’s trustworthy. The judge at his trial said “You would’ve made a hell of a lawyer. I would’ve love to have had you practice here. But you went another way partner.” I think Efron embodied the manipulative and cunning Bundy, VERY well. Now, if they wanted to make a REALLY terrifying serial killer movie, they should’ve done either Edmond Kemper, or Andre Chikatilo. Now those two.... weren’t anywhere near as charming as Bundy. But, Kemper’s case is incredibly interesting. He’s a genius. Literally. He has the IQ of a genius. At 15 he killed his grandparents and was sent to a mental institution. He convinced psychologists he was fit to go back into society, and they actually gave him his freedom. He was only caught because he eventually turned himself in... AFTER killing the person who had been the reason (according to him) he killed women. The person, was his own mother. That would be an absolutely chilling movie if done right.

No they weren’t. SOME of the court scenes were taken directly from the transcripts, but some were also fictional.

It just dawned on me. The reason that Ted stayed with Liz and never hurt her is Liz represents his mother. Single mother struggling to raise a child. Ted is being the one positive male influence he had in his life which was his stepfather that he did not like. His stepfather always tried to include him and make him feel good even though he was too far gone. So I feel like Ted is playing the role of the stepfather taking care of his mother the way he takes care of Liz.

[@joanna6685]

well he did try to kill her...he closed the chimney flue in her bedroom while it was running, and stuck a towel under her door while she slept, so she would suffocate.

[@maryaquino4375]

But maybe because he wanted to have an alibi. Like someone that would vouch for him and prove his “innocence” if the tables turned on him. Liz was part of the perfect, smart, goodlooking, kind man persona he was entailing. Besides, the first one the police would suspect if she were to get murdered would be the boyfriend.

Personally, I liked the movie. I liked that showed that he wasnt one dimensional liked many people want to believe serial killers are. Many serial killers are actually good fathers, husbands, sons, it's just what they do when they aren't home that's the evil in them. That's extremely important for so may people to understand. You can't trust a person because they don't "look" like a bad guy. My mother used Ted Bundy so many times as I was growing up as an example of why I need to always be on my toes about people. Therefore, I loved that they showed both sides of the man by using his relationship with a girlfriend and her child as a way to show evil people can be really good at faking it and can actually do nice thing for people when they choose. Also WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT SECOND MOVIE?!?!? You can't (shouldn't) take a real life crime and try to twist it into some sort of fictional horror film. That is totally disrespectful for the victim and the victims family. Doing this is only going to promote misinformion about the actual Manson Murders. That's not okay!

[@mymaya]

It kind of reminds me of the assassination of Gianni versace (one of the best shows, I almost felt bad for Andrew Cunnanan), sure they show the bad bits first but you notice how he potrays himself as good and then your like but why did he do that, not realising he's just a serial killer. Like the police not liking the homosexuals, so your on his side (not literally) but then a wife has a monologue whose husband died and feel bad. The serial killer characters where shows are usually made are really charismatic and I hate how relatable that characteristic can be in every individual.

I originally didn’t watch Extremely Wicked because people said it “glamorized” Ted Bundy, but after watching it, I couldn’t disagree more! I love how the director wanted to portray Ted Bundy throughout the movie because that’s how the world saw him. Clean cut, articulate, even tempered. People were constantly questioning whether or not he was truly guilty and even though the audience knew that Bundy was guilty before the movie even started, we still questioned whether he was innocent or not at some point in the movie because he “didn’t seem like the type of guy to kill someone” just like people thought back then. We were just like the bystanders from all those years ago. Fooled by Bundy’s (or in this case, Zac Efron’s) performance.

[@crazygamer_1082]

What people need to understand about Ted Bundy is that YES he was a terrible person but he got away with it for far longer than he should have because he was charming and average. And most disturbingly: Zac looks a lot like Bundy. If the entire movie is suppose be from his girlfriend’s perspective, of course he’s gonna appear more forgivable than others. He also escaped more than twice and was on the run-soooo. The police were really lacking back then. He still a dirtbag though

She said learning this story gave her a new outlook on her life. My sister is blonde and in a sorority, and hearing this story made her really think about who she goes home with or hangs out with when she goes out. Because according to her this could have easily been her. This could be easily a bunch of women. I think this movie showed people that not all murderers look like murderers so you have to be very careful.

[@winkwonk1247]

Riley Mitchell Everybody keeps talking about the hacksaw scene!! What happens in that scene? I haven’t watched the movie nor do I plan to but I just want to know lol

[@techsupport00]

Wink Wonk it was towards the end of the movie. Bundy is convicted and he is about to confess to try to lower his sentence but he hasn't yet. His ex-girlfriend whom he's been in love with is visiting him one last time. It is at this point we learn that she is actually the one that turned him in first and she's been living with a sort of guilt that maybe she turned in an innocent person. So she is trying to get him to confess. She ends up showing him a picture of one of the victims who was beheaded. She asked him how this happened. It then shows him spelling out a word on the glass. While this is happening it cuts to him hitting a women in the head with a crowbar and dragging her into the wood (the only time we get a glimpse of him actually murdering someone). While this is happening a sort of sawing sound is getting louder. Then it cuts back to the prison finally panning out and revealing the word. It shows the word hacksaw. At this point us and the girlfriend realize he really did this and that sound the audience is hearing is him sawing a woman's head off. He basically finally confessed. You have to watch the movie to get the full hit of the scene but it was really powerful.

[@jsmalls9575]

I agreed when Bundy said that cameras in the courtroom made the trial about ratings, not the truth. Trial transcripts are public records; we can read them if we are so inclined. We can usually attend trials if we want to be informed. But I think televising trials (the OJ Simpson trial, in particular) turns them into a spectacle, an act with catchphrases and performances by both the defense and prosecution. And the defendant becomes a star, innocent or guilty and regardless of the verdict.

I remember the Bundy trial news coverage when I was a teenager. Part of my clear memories revolves around my very close resemblance to many of Bundy's victims and how shaken I was by that. My mother and many other women her age would go on about how such a handsome man wouldn't need to murder women. The Manson murders were still very much in the public consciousness, Son-of-Sam was in current events, and I think most people assumed that serial killers were crazy-eyed and easy to spot. Of course, the other part of this is that people saw it as a sex thing - it would be the guys who couldn't get a girl or a job or whatever. That's why I think movies like this need to be out there -it's a lesson that's easy to forget.

[@ScarletSerenade]

So I had an extremely visceral reaction to this movie. I was in a verbally abusive relationship years ago where the guy was a serial cheater. I had suspicions but not enough evidence to go off of so I kept telling myself it was all in my head. Add him constantly reassuring me that everything was okay and we have the perfect storm for gaslighting. It wasn't until this guy ended up in prison for drunk driving the car of one of the girls he was cheating on me with a suspended license that I... still didn't get a clue and continued to enabled his lies and pay for his calls from prison. Anyone who has taken care of a phone bill for prison calls knows that those are NOT cheap. It took my father sitting me down and finally telling me all of the pieces I was missing to the puzzle that finally snapped me out of it and I cut all ties with him. My ex wasn't a serial killer (to my knowledge) but he misused his charisma for his own selfish gains similarly so watching this film was quite the experience for me because I felt like I was living the experience all over again. They intentionally don't fully show how brutal he was until the very end and continue to portray him as a normal person all the way through. It makes you question it (just as Art explains here) "Is Ted innocent?" EVEN THOUGH we know from history that he was not. It makes you experience the doubt and denial that Liz went through in such a perfect way. So many people think, "Well, how could she be so stupid and not notice the signs?" but that question is honestly pretty callous. When it's someone you have bonded with, it's harder to imagine them in such a negative light when they're your entire world. When that person knows you deeply enough that they understand how to manipulate and exploit the feelings you have for them to bend your perspective to their will, yeah, it's pretty easy to turn a blind eye. Love your take on this and loved the film overall.
