Ted Bundy Review!

I have always loved learning about serial killers. Not because I condone their actions or because they're just so totally cool. It's because I'm interested in the way their mind works. I love learning why they became a serial killer. Yesterday I watched the movie 'Ted Bundy.' I was very pleased with this movie. I always get a big kick out of the information that I can point out in the movie.

It makes me feel like I accomplished something in my life. ;) We're introduced to Ted Bundy in the very beginning of the movie. He gets up and gets ready for school. Before he heads out he does his "normal" introduction in front of the mirror. It goes a little something like this. "Hi, my name is Ted. Nice to meet you." He continues to repeat that phrase while making weird faces and sounds. While watching that you can't help but think to yourself, "What the hell!?"

Ted is at school in his Psychology class and the teacher is talking about Sociopaths and what their tendencies are. I just wished the girl sitting next to Ted would of yelled out "There's a Sociopath in this classroom and I'm sitting next to him!" Wishful thinking, I guess. What I like about this movie is how it didn't take a long time to get to the killings. It wasn't slow and I do like that in movies. I have A.D.H.D. I can't handle slow movies.

Later that night Ted goes to a local bar/night club by himself (how embarrassing!) A young girl walks in with her friends and catches Ted's eyes. Ted asks if she wants to dance but she kindly turns him down. Well, our boy Ted doesn't take no for an answer. He follows her back to her table and tells her that he won't bite and she won't regret dancing with him. She finally gives in since Ted is a charmer and knows how to swoon girls. They share an awkward dance and exchange a few words. Once the song was over the young girl was done. She thanked him and walked away.

Ted follows her home and watches her undress while he masturbates. I told you he was a charmer. We meet Ted's girlfriend, Lee. A very annoying, paranoid & whining girl. She suspects something funky is going on with Ted since he would have frequent outbursts and he would want to have really rough sex and have Lee pretend that she's dead. She doesn't press him on the subject since she doesn't want to make him upset. She wants him to commit to her but he already thinks they're committed to each other. She also has accused him of having other girlfriends since a lot of girls find him attractive.

He would attack girls he finds walking along the street. Once he captured the girls he brought them out to the woods so no one could find them or hear the girls scream. He'd tie them up and knock them out. Once they were knocked out he would rape them and then kill them or sometimes the other way around. He also practiced Necrophilia. He would break into girl's apartments and sorority houses. The way he would lure the girls into his car is he would wear a cast on his arm to make the girls feel bad and sympathetic towards him. He had that advantage on us women since we were born with that motherly instinct.

Plus those girls were stupid. I don't know, maybe I'm just a bitch but I wouldn't go out of my way as to get into a strangers car to help him fix up his sail boat. You never know what's going to happen. Plus, him wanting you to get into his car so you can "drive" somewhere to help him is a little odd. I have trust issues and I wouldn't do that since I always think the person is going to turn on me. That could be a good thing or a bad thing. Depends on how you look at it.

He killed women in Colorado and in Utah when he moved down to Salt Lake to practice Law. I assume you all know since I've mentioned it before but I live in Utah and my dad's friend saw Ted Bundy driving in his Yellow Slug Bug a day before he was captured in Utah. He tried kidnapping a girl from the mall by posing as a cop telling her that her car was broken into. The kidnapping didn't go as well as he had hoped for since the girl was a bad ass. She fought back and gave him a run for his money. I couldn't help laughing during that scene since she was beating the shit out of him. I kept yelling out, "You go girl!"

She managed to escape and get into another car. She informed the police and they captured him. After appearing in a line up, the girl from the mall pointed him out and he was charged for kidnapping and attempted murder. He decided to be his own lawyer in court. I guess he thought he was an awesome lawyer. While he was studying in the library, the cop that was watching him heads out to the hall for a smoke break. During that time Ted escapes. Big shocker. He doesn't stay free for long, he gets captured but ends up escaping again.

While he was in prison he had another woman visit him and of course she fell in love with him. She told him that she would help him get out of that place, which we all know won't happen. The judge makes the decision to put Ted to death by electrocution. The day of his death, the cops get him ready by shaving his head and shoving cotton balls up his pooper so he won't crap his pants when he dies. The time has come, the death of Ted Bundy is here. He gets electrocuted and his body is taken to a local funeral home. While he was in prison, Ted received 200 letters from women claiming how much they loved him. What a bunch of psycho sluts.

I really enjoyed this movie and thought everything about it was great. The acting was really good except for Lee, she got on my nerves real fast. Being able to see how Bundy swooned all those girls and to be able to take advantage of them was fascinating to see. You just want to yell out to the girls "run you stupid bitch! He's gonna kill you!!" The women that Bundy killed made me roll my eyes since I would never do some of the things they did. I wouldn't walk home from the bar alone, I wouldn't hitchhike and get into a car of someone I don't know. If a strange person approached me claiming to be a cop and wanting me to come with them, I wouldn't and I would call for help.

If you like slasher movies and movies about serial killers that really get most of things correct and you like the learning of it. I do suggest this movie. I give it 5 out of 5 skulls.
