This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Corin Nemec pairs with Director Michael Feifer on their fourth direct-to-video profile of a serial killer. This time the one they chose was Ted Bundy and the movie is not as advertised. Even though their other collaborations have been less than steller, I decided to watch this one, because it was described as a "drama that traces the path of this charming icon serial killer." From that, I was hoping to see a biographical film and that's the way it started out. After a half-hour or so, the film unfortunately descended into a blood bath. Ever since establishing himself with the hilarious teen comedy, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Corky Nemec has turned to the dark side and seems to thrive on playing these twisted evil men. The former teen idol is terrific and gives a really strong performance, but it was the only thing of note in this film. After introducing us to Bundy, the writers stop focusing on the man and focus on his crimes. For the final hour of this film that's all you see, until a macabre ending which tries to show Bundy as some kind of hero, who never had a chance, because of his circumstances. The man brutally butchered as many as seventy woman, but according to this film, it's not his fault, he's just a child who never grew up. The whole premise of the film was ridiculous, it's a blood bath that tries to make Ted Bundy into some kind of victim and it's a slap in the face to the families of his victims. As much as I enjoy seeing Corin Nemec play a psychopath, I'm done with these snuff films that glorify the most evil men the world has even known.

Seriously, all I got from this storyline was that Ted Bundy was a monster. I already knew that because I've seen a couple of other films that tell Bundy's tale in an interesting manner. This one does not. However, the sound editing, along with the musical contributions from Andres Boulton, Diane Hall and Johnny Childe, are intriguing enough to make me want to seek out this film on DVD. Diane Hall's rendition of "Renegade Girl" (a la D. Hall & Friends) yanked me out of disinterest and led me in a direction I wasn't really prepared for. From that point on, I paid more attention to the music and background audio than I remember ever doing during a first viewing of any film. Now, I want to hear it again.

this movie based on ted bundy, is not the first and certainly wont be the last, but this movie is above average and delves into things the other movies didn't, including his political career, and his early relationships. corin nemac is brilliant as ted bundy, and is chilling to watch, and while the movie is at times violent and bloody, its never exploitive like some other serial killer biopics, and is only showing what really happened, some of the murders are quite hard to watch, but it remains a good movie, with some strong performance's and cameo from kane hodder. it's not as good a movie as 'ted bundy' was, and i haven't seen 'the deliberate stranger' to compare, but knowing this story, this movie does a decent job of telling a horrible story, its not going to be for everyone, and it is very nasty at times, but as a movie about one of the most notorious serial killers of alltime, bundy: a legacy of evil does the job, i recommend to the horror and true crime crowd

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.
