Why is Bundy killing everybody?

Ted Bundy is a film about the famous serial killer Ted Bundy.

The film does not center around his whole life. It starts off when he is in law school and goes from there showing how he lives a double life. At times he hangs out with his girlfriend Lee and her daughter. Then he kills girls brutally and has sex with their dead bodies at times.

One problem I had with this film is that they never really explain the motives that Bundy had for killing women. I know that his mother was really his grandmother and his sister was his real mother but they barely mention this. A flashback to his childhood and being scarred by women in his life would have been good in this film but they don't do it. SO for the most part Bundy just goes around killing people in this film and if you do not know about him you would have no idea why, you would just think he is a killer.

I thought that the guy who portrayed Bundy did a good job, not great but good. At times he seemed a little lame when he was trying to pick up women in the film. There are a few weird scenes in this film as well. One particular scene when he had to lie to a girl about being a police officer to get her to go with him in his car was really weird.

But there are some great scenes showing how Bundy was relentless in killing. Also it is interesting to see how he acts normal in public and then goes after girls to kill.

This is not a movie for young kids. There is nudity, lots of violence, and bad language. Also they show a lot of dead and decomposing bodies and a scene where Bundy puts make up on a severed head. Even older people may get disturbed at scenes.

I thought the movie was above average, lots better than the Jeffrey Dahmer film, and could have been better. But there are a lot of good scenes and it does do a good job of portraying what type of person Bundy was. Still I thought they should have explained his motives more and at times you have to wonder why is killing everybody. He was not just a killer without reasons. It was his hatred towards women that made him do this.

A good film, worth watching but be warned. This film is not a family film.
