Summary
First I have to say you have to view this film as a different take than the pre 1986 film The Deliberate Stranger (Mark Harmon). Bright took a totally opposite approach to the complex interestingly sick mind of Theodore Bundy. The film is majority black humor in a demented way. Bright displayed Bundy's deviant side mostly throughout. As where Deliberate Stranger focused more on Bundy's intelligence, charm & charisma. It showed more of Ted's uncontrollable ego and god complex and manipulation dove more into the facts of his story. Bright's version in an accurate way displayed Ted's falling apart perverse, neurotic, obsessive, out of control impulsive deviant side. This movie is quite perversely violent. There are scenes in which Ted has acts of necrophilia and takes home the body parts of women & puts lipstick on them which is inaccurate of the true accounts of his life but simply added for shock entertainment value. The point of the children at the end saying "I'm Ted Bundy" really illustrates the decieving normality that Ted led people to believe. He was the it could be anybody mentality. He had good looks very articulate charming and endearing on the surface but inside was the real Ted Bundy the ego driven self doubting self centered sociopath. Ironically Ted had the ability to pick up any woman he wanted but it simply wasn't enough. The scary part about this movie & his life is one will never know the demons that drove Ted and the hatred of women that consumed his life to the bitter end. Recommend check out "The Mask of Sanity" book about Ted Bundy's life.
