There was a moment when I wondered “man what if Ted actually didn’t do all this stuff” and that’s when I understood Ted Bundy’s hypnotic charisma portrayed well through Zac Effron

[@mesa5734]

nachowarrior1 I had that moment too. My husband was even like “do you think he really did it?” And I looked at him and said “you know he confessed, right?”

[@bettywhite9634]

Me Sa perhaps to postpone his execution? He lead detectives to where he said he put the head of a victim and they never found anything. Also a lot of the so-called confessions are third person. The times he does confess tend to be things anyone could’ve read in news papers or news. For the cherry on top perhaps he worked for CIA. This story and everything surrounding it is political. Starting with the reinstatement of the death penalty in 70’s. Ted Bundy story would ultimately persuade the mainstream to accept and stand behind the death penalty.

[@nafsi8519]

If you want to watch go ahead watch ted Bundy's documentary, he is very very convincing. BUT I think Jeffrey Dahmer was more charismatic. He was soft spoken, good listener and very agreeable.

The only thing I disliked about this movie was that the victims pictures weren't shown at the end. It's good that they listed their names, but it's much more real to see their faces. after seeing Bundy from liz's POV for the movie it would've been nice to have that snap back to reality

[@13realmusic]

None of the victims families supported the film, and their names were changed within the movie as well.

[@TheSuperNats]

Or a more emphasis on how fucked up his crimes were. Ted freaking kept their heads and would rape their corpses. He wasn’t just an evil murdering rapist he (somehow) took it to the next level to earn that “Extremely Wicked” nomenclature.

[@valleyofashes]

TheSuperNats I heard about the necrophelia, but I never heard he kept their heads? That was Dahmer right? Where did Bundy store heads? Also side note - most people don't even know Ted was into necrophelia. They seem to leave that out of most stories/movies about him.

At some times i even forgot that it's Zac who's there on the screen, not Bundy, for example the interview at 3:03 the resemblance is uncanny! Zac displayed all of Ted's mannerisms and the way he talked, including the charm and the easy manipulation with people. He will definitely get some nominations for this role, perhaps even an award.

[@doctalove9301]

I agree! But you have to understand, when making a movie based on a true story, there will always be incorrect details. It will never be exactly like the real thing. Hollywood does things to spice it up, make it more entertaining. Take things like Titanic for example, they put in 2 completely fictional characters to have a more interesting story. The Tupac movie All Eyez on Me, wasn’t accurate by a long shot. That’s just how it works.

To get all of Elizabeth’s side, as well as her daughter Molly’s (which was horrific for a child to experience) then I encourage everyone to read “The Phantom Prince”, second edition.

They rnt going to show every violent fight, but how she felt safe with someone who is killing many women. She didn’t see it.

I thought that when Liz responded to his question of whether he had ever hurt her by revealing that she had given his name to the police, it was implying that there had been moments when she didn’t feel safe in their relationship, in line with what actually happened. Either way, I’m impressed with the performance and the writing of the movie!

[@davidmock5235]

The relationship portrayed is legit barely how it happened in real life. The relationship was contentious, Bundy had threatened her before and literally tried to kill her at one point. They were even dating around when they first started seeing each other. They didn't fall in love at first sight.

[@BakaryD]

I love how this movie makes you think it's the usual wrongfully accused protagonist and try to make us side with him but we realize more and more he's the dangerous psychopath he's being accused of being

[@wwoooffwooff]

You know it's a good movie when you start to like Ted Bundy

[@wwoooffwooff]

hart 112 Yeah, I’ve heard of the TCC. But in my case I am impressed with how Zac portrays the character.

[@MarvelousMusicmmusic]

Nah you and the 67 likes have problems lol

[@wwoooffwooff]

MarvelousMusic I don’t think so. They portrayed him as a likeable man deliberately in the movie because he came across like that to other people. Obviously I don’t like the actual man lol

[@hannahk5476]

hart 112 this was purposely done because ted bundy was actually this likeable to other people. he was getting a multitude of fan letters during his trails and quite a few marriage proposals. everyone knew what he was getting tried for, but they just liked ted bundy so much they didn’t believe it or even that they just didn’t care. he was charismatic, attractive, and had “a manner such that you had no choice but to trust him so fully and unconventionally.” by making him so likeable, it can really throw the audience for a loop because they *want* to like him, even though most of them know that it’s confirmed he’s killed over 30 women. it really puts it into perspective of what it was like to meet ted bundy and see him on trial when it *wasnt* confirmed he had killed so many innocent lives.

[@UsamaBeenHidin]

hart 112 That was the point of the movie. Lmfao

[@juanitarichards1074]

Ted never cried nor had tears in his eyes during the judges final speech to him. He was angry and defiant the whole time.

[@TammyM36]

He didn’t cry but he wasn’t angry. I believe he told the judge “thank you”

[@elianakaganovsky]

i just feel so bad for liz being so traumatized knowing she was dating someone who brutally murdered women

Zac really showed off his acting talent in this film. Absolutely nailed the role- it's a must watch.

Top 10 Movie Battles where the good guys are winning but start losing.

[@ayten2490]

More things they left out: - Elizabeth told Bundy that she called the cops and gave his name while they were still in a relationship, she did not wait until they were broken up and they continued dating for a long time after that. - Ted confessed to Elizabeth before anyone else. - Elizabeth took Ted’s confession to the police and Bundy threatened to kill her family if the policed used that against him in court. - In the end the video says it is not clear if Elizabeth giving the authorities might be the reason he was captured. In reality it probably was because Elizabeth called the cops in BOTH states repetitively and caused the cops to not remove his name from suspect list even when they thought he was fine. Him being on the suspect list was the reason why cops searched his car and found the suspicious items that led to his first arrest. - She also provided them with Ted’s bills and detectives were able to see from those that Ted was actually in the states during times the murders occurred. This helped them to link Bundy to his other murders.

[@michaeloberg3018]

Expect Efron to receive some attention for this come awards season. Hollywood loves an actor who can escape stereotypes successfully. It's happened many times before even in the serial killer genre...look at what happened for Charlize Theron with her performance in Monster.

[@theamateur88]

He wont unfortunately, it's a Netflix production. Hollywood are anti Netflix but it's a crying shame as he was outstanding in the role

[@michaeloberg3018]

@@theamateur88 But you're wrong... Much like last year's Netflix movie "Roma", this film is also eligible at next year's Oscars. The loophole?? It screened on a very limited theater screen before being shown on Netflix...

[@lar9299]

well. we got the Academy vs Netflix feud (after everything that happened with Roma), but, if they were to nominate a netflix movie, I think after Rami Malek ACTUALLY WINNING for best actor as Freddie Mercury, Zac has a big big shot of at least a nomination. Not to be disrespectful to both Zac and Rami, but let's face it: even when both performances were spot on and almost uncanny, neither of them is Oscar worthy. Still wondering how Rami could've won even when I loved the movie

Because one of the the things about bundy is he is extremely good looking. He used it as an advantage and zac efron is a very good looking man and that is why he was such a great choice for the role.

I’m into watching dramatic trials, I think it’s my odd myself, I was aware of bundys story and I still wanted to see this film. My only issue was idk how I’d stomach seeing the murders played out. So i am super happy to see that movie took a different direction and put respect on the woman that passed. Great tAke on this story.

[@vickiweber4718]

The Deliberate Stranger showed some of the murders. The ones at the Florida State dorm were brutal.

Zac Efron looks more shockingly evil.

[@SkyandMoon909]

While Efron captures his smug confidence, the crazy eyes and twitches are missing. Malchovich as the teddy bear southern judge was a miscast.

[@ihopeutubedies]

True, they should've cast Kyle Gass as the judge.

[@C_Tizzle]

I think it should've been Kevin from the Office or Keenan from SNL

[@kiokioski]

Agree very odd casting for the judge

[@kiokioski]

They should have dilated his pupils or something. that black pupil look is so significant, it's signature bundy. I also noticed it was absent. He had brown eyes that often looked black, especially in pictures. I have hazel eyes that turn the darkest brown sometimes, giving me the appearance of black pupils. my sister always called it bundy eyes growing up 😂

[@no1nestandsalone387]

Carolyne yah I agree. I don’t think Malcovich was a good fit for the judge.. he didn’t do a very good job as the judge.

[@Jimmersaunt]

I almost didn’t recognize John Malkovich as the judge.

[@intelligentview650]

When Zac Efron wrote the words hacksaw on the window that was the most chilling scene in the movie it just let you know of how much of a killer he really was he pulled this role -off really good

[@sparxstreak02]

If Bundy DID act aggressive towards Liz while they were 2gether, did he ever behave that way with her daughter Molly? I mean the guy didn’t kill just full grown women he also killed a 12 YEAR OLD! 😡

[@vickiweber4718]

I often wonder if Bundy's murders, especially that of the 12 year old, is why my dad had a tendency of being overprotective of my sisters and I. I was even born in 78 and the family lived in Florida until I was 14.
