One of those films that makes you walk out muttering dark things about the future of the human race.
60
Looks set to unsettle as many conservative auds as it will delight nihilistic film buffs.
60
Bright, 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.
50
The last scenes etch one of the most revealing depictions of capital punishment ever put on the wide screen.
30
Disturbingly superficial in its approach to the material.
25
It's just another discordant note in this tone-deaf movie -- a trashy, exploitative, thoroughly unpleasant experience.
0
The Bundy portrayed here doesn't have even the veneer of charm; he's a raving psycho, and watching him work, whatever the filmmakers' intent, is revolting exploitation.

This was probably done by a bloke fresh from receiving a degree in film studies and decided to make a shocking film. It is not that shocking because like all of the films from the same time that involves hideous sexual attacks it is told from the point of view of the serial killer. This means that it is very hard to emotionally connect with the victims and you almost connect with the serial killer more. This is the wrong way around. This is not scary at all but it is interesting and holds your attention. The musical score is amazing. With a little more tension or fear or a more interesting ending would make this a good film. More emotion needed. This is not graphically violent but it is violent through sexual violations and implication mainly. Don't fight to see this.
