Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile-6/10
Number one, that movie title is a poor choice. Secondly, you watch the movie from a spectator/the girlfriend's pov, which really kills the flow of the movie. Zac Efron is really good as Bundy, being a charming, charismatic, likeable guy in the same vein Bundy was described and came off in interviews.
However, because we get the movie from a 3rd person's pov who is watching everything from afar, the whole film comes off as more of an overview and feelslike we're watching a collection of newspaper clippings rather than a docudrama.
Had they made Ted the main character and focused on his narrative, I think the film would've been far more gripping and better executed. The Ted Bundy tapes doc on Netflix us far better because it's actually about Bundy.
