Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman

This is really kind of an odd film.. it doesn't really follow Bundy telling his story, nor does it really follow the police chasing him. At first, you think it's going to be more about the female police detective pursuing Bundy.. but your'e wrong.... It's a hodgepodge of scenes around the "theme" of Bundy and the chase without ever really focusing on any one specific storyline. There's no "core storyline" at all. It seems as though they started with the idea/concept of wanting to portray the sorority house Bundy is infamous for, then tried to pad out a film around that idea. If it weren't for the sprinkles of coarse language, and a single adult-themed scene, I'd have sworn this was "made for tv". I sat through the entire thing without realizing it - expecting SOMETHING to pick up and be more engaging. Ultimately it's a film which, through character dialog (as in the scripted words for the characters), literally TELLS the audience the facts surrounding Bundy rather than showing them. And its the same story that's been done a million times, only with less detail, less interesting characters, and CLEARLY less direction and money. This really is at the absolute bottom of the "Bundy films" I've seen over the years.

Whoever wrote this had zero knowledge of the crimes. Terrible.

If your going to watch this please know it's mostly a fictional interpretation. This story distorts all the facts about Ted Bundy and adds things to the story that never happened. The real life story of Ted Bundy is truly horrific so there is no need to add flair to the story. The woman running around acting like she was some mind hunter was ridiculous. Why did the director chose to change how the Chi Omega murders went down? The guy who played Bundy didn't even look like him. When did Bundy have a handle bar mustache?

You've got the craziest killer for subject matter and and some good talent to boot, but you end up with a cardboard Bundy and a made-for-tv feel.

It's amazing how many movies and documentaries have been done about bundy. At this point (actually long before it) any new project focusing on him is just glorification. Plain and simple. Families of the victims and even one victim herself gets to watch as the the media keeps giving that p.o.s. Attention. It's one thing for behavioral scientists to study and watch his stuff and those in the serial killer hunting business to pull apart and really examine who he was but, that not what this is. He was executed so long ago and yet Hollywood just wants to keep him alive like they are paying tribute to him over and over.

I hope Ted Bundy haunts Chad Michael Murray for this truly terrible movie. Absolute garbage.

Have seen many movies depicting Ted Bundy's character but never have I come across such masterpiece which portrays him with so much detailing. The actor who played Ted Bundy will certainly get an award in coming events and the director will go a long way to direct many more biopics and documentaries that deserve perfection. The best part of this movie is its repeat value and as I am reviewing it I have seen at least 5 times over and over again till now. A must watch but watch it at night at your own risk. Enjoy it with your entire family and loved ones.

Female super agent predicts every single one of Bundy's moves and dresses down the male chauvinist agents who surround her including her boss who she tells to "F off". She knows everything and chases Bundy down but doesn't catch him because we'll, the writer didn't want to go "overboard" with reality lol. The film even takes credit away from the agent who coined the term "serial killer" (he died ten years ago and can't stick up for himself... typical feminist tactic). The film opens with a college girl telling her friend "Men... are...pigs"! That should tell you all you need to know about this nonsensical fairy tale. Pass this post to friends while it lasts.

This movie was absolute garbage. The acting was very amateur - not a single good actor/actress was in this movie. Don't waste your time or money - I should've seen The Rock's new Disney movie instead.
