    This movie was terrible! I've never really been assaulted by music until I sat through this. I was watching this with a friend and we both thought the music was trying to pick a fight. Towards the end, we were more than happy to oblige.

    And I want to know who makes a film about...( read more) a serial killer, and decides that the cops in Seattle talking about getting a computer is more interesting.

    I have to say, my favorite part of this movie is where Bundy is in jail in Colorado. He decides to escape. So he lifts himself up into the ventilation shaft that's inside of his cell, and after crawling about for a few moments (which actually seemed like years because of the music) he drops out of the shaft and lands in some apartment in Florida.

    How were we able to catch a teleporter?
