Ted Bundy [Bundy] ** (2002, Michael Reilly Burke, Boti Bliss, Julianna McCarthy) – Classic Movie Review 2571

Co-writer/director Matthew Bright’s chilling 2002 docu-drama biopic of the prolific and notorious serial sex killer whose horrific crimes shocked 1970s America is exploitative and graphically nasty.

Michael Reilly Burke stars as Ted Bundy and Boti Bliss plays Lee, the unknowing woman in a relationship with him while he proceeded with the killings of at least 19 young women, maybe up to 35.

Also in the cast are Julianna McCarthy, Jennifer Tisdale, Michael Santos, Steffani Brass, Tricia Dickson, Meadow Sisto and Zarah Little.

As intended, and as it can’t help but be, it is shocking and disturbing stuff. It is rated R and cert 18 for strong violence involving a sexual predator/serial killer, sexuality/nudity and strong language

The names of the victims are fictional.

The very American subject is co-financed by British company Tartan Films and distributed in the UK by Metro Tartan. Producers: Hamish McAlpine, Michael Muscal and Laura De Casto.
