Very Cool!!!

One of my all time favorites.

Admirable film.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie, Bundy: An American Icon, is perhaps the worst production I have ever had the misfortune to watch all the way through. I was actually fascinated with just how bad a movie could be. I am told that many details were wrong or omitted from the story, so my quest to learn about Bundy goes unfulfilled. Corin Nemec is without a doubt the worst actor I have ever seen. The script was silly, non-intensive, disjointed, and slow. I never for a moment believed that this was the charming and intelligent man I had heard about.Poorly shot and dark, it also has some truly odd musical choices, which are in some cases almost funny. The director also tortures us with scenes of no value to the plot, such as really long shots of Bundy driving drunk, Bundy staggering about, Bundy giving an surreal news interview, and perhaps worst of all, Bundy defending himself in court (in a scene that would make a courtroom skit on SNL seem sedate). Do yourself a favor and pass on this bloody awful mess.

There is quite literally no point in even considering giving up two hours of your life to see this 'movie'. If you like sub-par acting, blatantly unfitting soundtracks, mediocre character development, and if you like movies that progress at the speed of political ethics reform, then you'll love it. If you are or have any sort of love or fascination for serial killers, you can rest easy knowing that NOTHING you would look for in a movie will be found here. Imagine the first season of Dexter, how beautifully it unfolded, how poetically honest and intimate it was. Now picture the spectral opposite of that. NOW imagine that the this opposite ate some bad Thai and threw up. That puddle of vomit is this 'movie'. Just the thought that this will forever be attached to Bundy's legacy makes my skin crawl, a fact that is only exacerbated by the inevitability that so many ignorant people will accept it as truth.

I do hope that the writer, producer, director of this movie reads viewer comments, but I doubt it, despite his continual references made to 'internet movie bloggers'. I have to say that this movie would be by far the least researched movie in the history of movie making. Made worse by Mr. Feifers narration on his DVD. I do realise Independent movie making is different to network backed movies in their budget constraints, but surely even the smallest budget would allow for it's writer to research facts before spouting off non-truths in his commentary. He stumbles through telling the audience to "Look after your children" because Ted Bundy was an abused child which in turn caused his 'craziness'. #1. He was far from crazy. He was cold, calculated, calm and the epitome of an evil sociopath and psychopath. # 2. If you took the time to research your subject, you would know that he was not an abused child, sexually or otherwise. In an interview by Dr. James Dobson the day before his execution, Ted said in great detail how he had a very normal, stable and nurtured childhood where there was no abuse of any kind. He went to great lengths in this interview to make sure no one in the future could ever blame his upbringing and make it a reason for his evil doings. Oddly enough, this is exactly what your movie has set out to do. Your movie shows him as a cowering abused child with a drunken father in a tense family situation without any other siblings in sight, despite him having 5. Bundy also remarked on how his parents were church-going non-drinkers who were wonderful to him and his siblings. His step father being his sister's/real mothers husband was not abusive at all, and was a non-drinker. Not only was the movie flawed with non-truths, poorly researched material, the annoying terrible music throughout did nothing to detract from the really badly acted script, in turn adding to how appalling it is. Really awful independent film which does little to inspire the other imaginative independent film makers into taking the risk to get their movies out there. I have no idea how this even got to tape, let alone fill the shelves of my local video shop. Don't waste your money or your time.

This is one of the few true crime films that I found to be wonderfully put together, accurate and original. It is well-written, and the director obviously did his research. The film is enjoyable to watch, because it has style, and the storyline doesn't lull and revolve around a court case like many films based on real killers. It is reminiscent of the director's 2007 film, Ed Gein: Butcher of Plainfield, as it stays true to the real story of the killer while providing entertainment and using realistic blood and gore. Though it was a good film, I can't give it a 10 out of 10 because there was a decent portion of bad acting throughout it. The actor who played Bundy did a great job, but all of the other characters (with the exception of Kane Hodder as the Warden) lacked in their ability to deliver dialogue. If you believe that visual appeal and good writing can make up for bad acting, and you're into true crime, this is definitely one to check out.
