Leave your thoughts about Ted Bundy.
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesOne of the rare movies that spend 100 minutes with someone only to glory in his protracted death. |
| sbs.isStefan Birgir StefanssonHe was psychothic but somehow I doubt that he was the world's biggest luser... |
| Film ThreatGraham RaeOne of those films that makes you walk out muttering dark things about the future of the human race. |
| New Times (L.A.)Luke Y. ThompsonAs Bundy, Michael Reilly Burke (Octopus 2: River of Fear) has just the right amount of charisma and menace. It's his performance that makes the movie, giving a relatively shallow script more depth and character nuances than likely existed on the page. |
| VarietyDerek ElleyLooks set to unsettle as many conservative auds as it will delight nihilistic film buffs. |
| L.A. WeeklyDavid ChuteHas the crisp pace and bright-eyed facetious tone of a blackout-comedy sex farce. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghBright, who reworked co-writer Stephen Johnston's screenplay, changed all the names except Bundy's so he could "make up stuff," but the irony is how close to the facts -- at least to the degree they're known -- he stays. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe last scenes etch one of the most revealing depictions of capital punishment ever put on the wide screen. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckExploitative and largely devoid of the depth or sophistication that would make watching such a graphic treatment of the crimes bearable. |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonIn the end, Ted Bundy's only justification is the director's common but unexplored fascination with the frustrated maniac; there's no larger point, and little social context. "Badlands" this ain't. |
