Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Adota uma interessante abordagem acerca de Bundy (e Campbell e Hershey oferecem timas atuaes), mas, feito para a tev, revela-se incuo, o que decepcionante. Rated: 3/5 Apr 26, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member An interesting take on the infamous Bundy story. I liked seeing it from such a different angle. It's really well done for an old TV movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/21 Full Review Audience Member Interesting version of the story of Ted Bundy - as told through the point of view of Ann Rule - who was a friend and coworker of his who quite literally wrote the book on him. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 8 movies for $4.99 compilation from Sears Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member An appropriately graphic and in-depth look at the actions of Ted Bundy. He is played quite brilliantly here. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I feel like there could have been more to this movie. It felt too short and kind of like it highlighted the unimportant parts. There was no build up or suspence. It was very basic. Bill Campbell was good - and creepy as always. The others did nothing for me. This movie was just kinda choppy and overall it an interesting story but it could have been told better. What did this movie teach me? Bill Campbell is so good at playing those creepy charming psychopathic characters that get under my skin. This is no exception. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This really wasn't bad. As a TV movie, it could have been much cheesier. Barbara Hershey is very good. I just wish that they had gotten someone more convincing and compelling than Bill Campbell as Bundy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
