Ted Bundy (2001)

Critic Reviews

• Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

  Exploitative and largely devoid of the depth or sophistication that would make watching such a graphic treatment of the crimes bearable.

• Megan Turner, New York Post

  A trashy, exploitative, thoroughly unpleasant experience.

• Dave Kehr, New York Times

  Disturbingly superficial in its approach to the material.

• Michael Atkinson, Village Voice

  In 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.

• Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

  One of the rare movies that spend 100 minutes with someone only to glory in his protracted death.

• Stefan Birgir Stefansson, sbs.is

  He was psychothic but somehow I doubt that he was the world's biggest luser...

• Staci Layne Wilson, Horror.com

  The subject matter of serial killers is not new for the film's distributor, First Look, which also released Dahmer and Ed Gein. Of the trio, Ted Bundy is the best.

• Clint Morris, Moviehole

  Instead of accurately accounting a terrible true story, the film's more determined to become the next Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But what about the countless other people who'd merely like to watch a solid tale about a universally interesting soul?

• Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

  Bright seems alternately amused and disgusted with this material, and he can't help throwing in a few of his own touches.
