      That's just a confirmed number. There's a much higher estimate of one's they suspect him of doing but he never confessed to them. He had a rule system of sorts of which murders he would talk about and a lot of the suspected ones fall under those categories. I forgot what those rules actually were but they're on the Internet somewhere if you're really curious.
      This never made any sense to me because it's like why would you commit the crime against them but still feel morally wrong talking about it?

      deepshaking I wasn’t too familiar with him. I know him in name only and the nature of his crimes. I had no idea he killed women after escaping from jail. I didn’t know he traveled all over to do it either. It just seemed so casual in the movie of him meeting girls and killing them.

      I think that the reservation was that he's beyond a normal person in the portrayal. They get a sex symbol to play him and he is extremely suave so there becomes a certain point that regardless of authorial intent the killer becomes sexy and cool. I'm not arguing that this has or hadnt happened here but that's the reservation that I've come across. It's like Tony Soprano David Chase fully intended for the audience to be disgusted by the violence and selfishness regarding Tony but one of his macho posturing went so far that some audiences missed the message and though " damn this guy is cool and tough and says and does things deep down I wish I could say and do" to the point that Chase implied he was a little disgusted by the audience's bloodlust by the end. Similarly madmen tried to convey don drapers fundamental brokenness but he got the girls and was stylish so people still had madmen parties and wanted to play don for a day.

      @@kristalcampbell3650 I wish they got someone a little less popular but still the, for lack of a better word, same level of attractive. Because the whole reason they used someone so attractive is because A LOT of women thought he was a heartthrob and literally protested for him. Its smart to use someone who is extremely attractive because if people look beyond that they'll be in the same mind set most people who knew Ted were in, "hes to charming too be a killer". I think some people need to just have their morals checked, because looking at real life events put into a very detailed movie and walking away from it thinking "damn, he was hot" is kind of ignorant.

    they weren’t glamorizing ted bundy, ted bundy was known for being extremely charming and women were almost obsessed with him. we’re seeing this from liz’s point of view, she questioned herself, blamed herself, and believed at first we was innocent. as the viewer we are supposed to feel the love, the pain, the confusion, and everything else that she experienced. this movie showed an entire new perspective, and frankly, it was fantastic.

The victim thinks "abuser is so nice and so perfect most of the time, even though there was bad moments they're not so bad...". Its why some people find it so hard to accept the reality of it being a bad relationship and end it; they love the abuser's good side so much they're willing to overlook unacceptable and possibly dangerous bad side.

      That’s part of the reason he’s my favorite serial killer. Since I was 12 or 13 (maybe younger), I became fascinated with the history and psychology. Like, I literally have an encyclopedia on serial killers. And Bundy was the first one I really remember learning about, and even though there have been killers who were worse than him, he sticks out.
      At 6, I wasn’t socializing well, with few emotions and had to see a therapist. I can’t watch violent things and not have it effect me - but I have Borderline Personality Disorder (took them till I was 28 to diagnose me), which possesses some psychopathic traits. And like Bundy I’m highly intelligent, but was emotionally and mentally abused by a few family members - a bit like Bundy’s childhood. But studying his life, had he never killed, he could have become high profile lawyer or politician. And he had plenty of female friends. He even worked at a rape and suicide hotline and insisted he walk her to her car because of how late at night it would be. He even helped make up a profile for the Green River Killer that ended up being incredibly accurate once they caught him.
      Some seriously dismiss his victims reaching triple digits, but if they really researched his WHOLE life, it isn’t really that impossible. Though there is the issue that quite a few of the serial killers in the 70s and 80s lived vaguely in the same area of the country, and a lot of times their MOs were very similar. It’ll probably be impossible to ever get an accurate number of victims for those killers in the 60s - 80s. But movies like this in a way need to be done, because just because someone’s always charming, doesn’t mean they’re always nice. At least I was smart enough to realize my mental patterns could easily have led me down the same path, but learned early enough to stop it, even if I didn’t realize it.

Which is why it’s so perfect for Zac to play it, he’s this day and ages heart throb, he’s attractive! And charming! He COULD be a modern day Ted Bundy. Good looking enough to make women trust him.

    I think what made this film enjoyable for me was the way Zac portrayed Ted. He was scarily enticing. It's kinda like when you watch the Netflix series "You" and felt like you were somewhat rooting for the main character even though he's a complete psychopath. It freaks me out, even more, when you remember that Extremely Wicked is based on true events.

      Felt exactly the same. For years I've been reading about bundy and other killers biographies so I always have this idea of them in my head. Efron really portrays how I imagine Bundy to have been. Super cocky, charismatic in his own way type of person and someone people dont feel afraid of at first glance. And the events that unfolded were just as it has been at the time. He had his fangirls even although he was a suspect for over 30 murders I believe. I thought I wouldn't enjoy the movie as much as I did and it was honestly good perspective on the victim's part.

    Most people don’t understand how TRULY dangerous Bundy really was... there’s a reason he was rated a 22 (which is the highest) on Stone’s scale of psychotic killers. He was charming, manipulative, narcissistic and cunning. He was able to lure women into his cars for a long time. That takes charm. That takes people believing that he’s trustworthy. The judge at his trial said “You would’ve made a hell of a lawyer. I would’ve love to have had you practice here. But you went another way partner.” I think Efron embodied the manipulative and cunning Bundy, VERY well. Now, if they wanted to make a REALLY terrifying serial killer movie, they should’ve done either Edmond Kemper, or Andre Chikatilo. Now those two.... weren’t anywhere near as charming as Bundy. But, Kemper’s case is incredibly interesting. He’s a genius. Literally. He has the IQ of a genius. At 15 he killed his grandparents and was sent to a mental institution. He convinced psychologists he was fit to go back into society, and they actually gave him his freedom. He was only caught because he eventually turned himself in... AFTER killing the person who had been the reason (according to him) he killed women. The person, was his own mother. That would be an absolutely chilling movie if done right.

Ted is being the one positive male influence he had in his life which was his stepfather that he did not like. His stepfather always tried to include him and make him feel good even though he was too far gone. So I feel like Ted is playing the role of the stepfather taking care of his mother the way he takes care of Liz.

    This movie had me SOBBING for his victims by the end. It did a fantastic job at showing what a monster he truly was. Seeing the way he acted, seeing him manipulate the people that loved him was honestly horrifying. Anyone who says this movie romanizes Ted Bundy hasn’t seen the movie or just doesn’t get it. This movie did more for his victims than it would have if we saw him in the act. Seeing him act so “charming” and without remorse knowing what horrific things he did was terrifying and it gave me chills. He wanted people to love and feel sorry FOR HIM. People tend to look up these stories or hear about these real events and it’s hard to see it as real or ted as anything but an obvious bad guy. But he was not an obvious monster. He was a monster, but he wasn’t obvious. He was human. Anyway, I’m rambling and can’t really articulate just how this movie made me feel but it made me feel many emotions and it was very well done. I never really felt sorry for his gf until this movie. My heart was broken for her and all his other victims. I love that we didn’t see his perspective. He didn’t deserve a story, his victims did. The ones that he manipulated around him did.

It did a good job at explaining what he did when the judge was speaking. And seeing him act so human and knowing what he did makes me feel so sorry for those girls. I know not everyone will agree with me opinion but like I said, it had me sobbing for his poor victims by then end. Had they shown him in the act, it wouldn’t have been as impactful.

You can't trust a person because they don't "look" like a bad guy. My mother used Ted Bundy so many times as I was growing up as an example of why I need to always be on my toes about people. Therefore, I loved that they showed both sides of the man by using his relationship with a girlfriend and her child as a way to show evil people can be really good at faking it and can actually do nice thing for people when they choose.
    Also WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT SECOND MOVIE?!?!? You can't (shouldn't) take a real life crime and try to twist it into some sort of fictional horror film.

    I love how the director wanted to portray Ted Bundy throughout the movie because that’s how the world saw him. Clean cut, articulate, even tempered.
    People were constantly questioning whether or not he was truly guilty and even though the audience knew that Bundy was guilty before the movie even started, we still questioned whether he was innocent or not at some point in the movie because he “didn’t seem like the type of guy to kill someone” just like people thought back then.

      I recently ended a relationship with a narcissist. We were together for almost 2 years and were engaged. He was very manipulative and would lie with ease. He abused me physically, mentally and emotionally and cheated on me. Even threatened to kill me once. Told me i made things up in my head because I accused him of cheating and said I was unstable and crazy. I haven't even seen this movie yet and I can tell you this freaks me out too much! The personality type of Ted Bundy and my ex-fiance is scary alike...it's truly unsettling and terrifying to know I loved that man.

The end was definitely a shock to me but it serves the purpose, I’m 19 and saw it a couple years ago and i was like”nah he is too likable, he is too nice, he is too charming, there’s no way he is a serial killer” and that really was what a lot of people in that time thought.

    Honestly I was so against this movie before seeing it but after watching it I changed my mind. Honestly the movie gave me chills. Especially the hacksaw scene at the end. To me that was the most hard hitting scene. It does give people a wake up call. I remember my sister talking about it. Shes a psychology major and she talked about how they had to study him. She said learning this story gave her a new outlook on her life. My sister is blonde and in a sorority, and hearing this story made her really think about who she goes home with or hangs out with when she goes out. Because according to her this could have easily been her. This could be easily a bunch of women. I think this movie showed people that not all murderers look like murderers so you have to be very careful.

      Wink Wonk it was towards the end of the movie. Bundy is convicted and he is about to confess to try to lower his sentence but he hasn't yet. His ex-girlfriend whom he's been in love with is visiting him one last time. It is at this point we learn that she is actually the one that turned him in first and she's been living with a sort of guilt that maybe she turned in an innocent person. So she is trying to get him to confess. She ends up showing him a picture of one of the victims who was beheaded. She asked him how this happened. It then shows him spelling out a word on the glass. While this is happening it cuts to him hitting a women in the head with a crowbar and dragging her into the wood (the only time we get a glimpse of him actually murdering someone). While this is happening a sort of sawing sound is getting louder. Then it cuts back to the prison finally panning out and revealing the word. It shows the word hacksaw. At this point us and the girlfriend realize he really did this and that sound the audience is hearing is him sawing a woman's head off. He basically finally confessed. You have to watch the movie to get the full hit of the scene but it was really powerful.

    I agreed when Bundy said that cameras in the courtroom made the trial about ratings, not the truth. Trial transcripts are public records; we can read them if we are so inclined. We can usually attend trials if we want to be informed. But I think televising trials (the OJ Simpson trial, in particular) turns them into a spectacle, an act with catchphrases and performances by both the defense and prosecution. And the defendant becomes a star, innocent or guilty and regardless of the verdict.

    So I had an extremely visceral reaction to this movie. I was in a verbally abusive relationship years ago where the guy was a serial cheater. I had suspicions but not enough evidence to go off of so I kept telling myself it was all in my head. Add him constantly reassuring me that everything was okay and we have the perfect storm for gaslighting. It wasn't until this guy ended up in prison for drunk driving the car of one of the girls he was cheating on me with a suspended license that I... still didn't get a clue and continued to enabled his lies and pay for his calls from prison. Anyone who has taken care of a phone bill for prison calls knows that those are NOT cheap. It took my father sitting me down and finally telling me all of the pieces I was missing to the puzzle that finally snapped me out of it and I cut all ties with him. My ex wasn't a serial killer (to my knowledge) but he misused his charisma for his own selfish gains similarly so watching this film was quite the experience for me because I felt like I was living the experience all over again.
    They intentionally don't fully show how brutal he was until the very end and continue to portray him as a normal person all the way through. It makes you question it (just as Art explains here) "Is Ted innocent?" EVEN THOUGH we know from history that he was not.
    It makes you experience the doubt and denial that Liz went through in such a perfect way. So many people think, "Well, how could she be so stupid and not notice the signs?" but that question is honestly pretty callous. When it's someone you have bonded with, it's harder to imagine them in such a negative light when they're your entire world. When that person knows you deeply enough that they understand how to manipulate and exploit the feelings you have for them to bend your perspective to their will, yeah, it's pretty easy to turn a blind eye.
    Love your take on this and loved the film overall.

    I remember the Bundy trial news coverage when I was a teenager. Part of my clear memories revolves around my very close resemblance to many of Bundy's victims and how shaken I was by that. My mother and many other women her age would go on about how such a handsome man wouldn't need to murder women. The Manson murders were still very much in the public consciousness, Son-of-Sam was in current events, and I think most people assumed that serial killers were crazy-eyed and easy to spot. Of course, the other part of this is that people saw it as a sex thing - it would be the guys who couldn't get a girl or a job or whatever. That's why I think movies like this need to be out there -it's a lesson that's easy to forget.
