I refuse to say 'I enjoyed this film' as enjoy is something you shouldn't do with someone like Ted Bundy. However, a while ago I saw a film called Deliberate Stranger about the same man. Mark Harmon played the lead role and a much nicer kind of serial killer he was portrayed to be. None of the brutal sexual aggression and hatred of Bundy.

Do you believe he was a violent, misogynistic, sexual pervert as 'Bundy' portrays him or the nice young man about town with a bit of a dark secret? Bundy wins for me!

I would have liked a little more background and content from the law side of things and the girls could have been shown in a better light but I suppose that's the casualty in this sort of film.

If you like a True-Life drama and don't mind the mindless violence then Bundy is a film worth watching, but if you are easily offended I'd steer clear as it will give you nightmares.

About the reviewer: Stinger

I am an old-timer and a traditionalist but I can be persuaded to up-date my ideas if it is worth it. I like horror/thriller/action movies but hate the films that rely solely on stuff like CGI as they usually detract from the value of the film. I long to see the tough guy actors make a comeback as I just cannot see Leonardo DiCaprio as a toughie, he is like a teenager with a stuck on moustache.
