Docu-drama based on the life of Ted Bundy, a serial killer who killed at least 19 young women during the 1970's (though some sources say as many as 30 to 35 were murdered). Set from his college student years, to his first victims, his capture, escape from prison (twice), his final killing spree to his trial, conviction and execution.
Disturbingly superficial in its approach to the material.

rotten:
A trashy, exploitative, thoroughly unpleasant experience.

rotten:
An artsploitation movie with too much exploitation and too little art.

rotten:
It's possible that something hip and transgressive was being attempted here that stubbornly refused to gel, but the result is more puzzling than unsettling.

rotten:
Exploitative and largely devoid of the depth or sophistication that would make watching such a graphic treatment of the crimes bearable.
