Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes in TV
Jan 26, 2019
An interesting look into the mind of a killer
This Netflix original details the killing spree enacted by Ted Bundy and his downward spiral. Very interesting for those curious about the actions of serial killers. Some of the details are pretty hard to swallow, as would be expected of any story where murders are committed. I think one of the most interesting parts to the show was being able to see his mannerisms, arrogance, and even his voice as he denied his guilt despite tantamount evidence against him. Ted Bundy was a killer who completely flipped profiling on its head; before him there were common misconceptions that a serial killer was an unattractive, uneducated, and socially inept person but after his atrocities were exposed, it forced members of law enforcement to look deeper into the kinds of people who committed such crimes against humanity. It was also very interesting to see the effect the trials had on his mother and her tearful pleas to avoid the death penalty. I didn't feel that it incited any sympathy for Bundy but it kind of opens your eyes to the destruction of a family, regardless. A testament to a mother's love, even to those we don't feel deserve it.

Great cast (2 more)
Good production values
Created by Kevin Williamson
Will have you following every episode in anticipation
If you love a good cat and mouse thriller with the Fbi chasing a serial killer, then this is the series for you. It has so many twists and turns you won't see coming. From Kevin Williamson who has worked on the Scream films , @I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) , @The Vampire Diaries - Season 1 and TV series @Stalker - Season 1

Intense, fabulously strong protagonist
Pretty horrific from the outset, this disturbing tale of a serial killer and abuser leaves you feeling breathless by the end. I managed to listen to this in one sitting.
The main character is brilliant, she is stronger than you can ever imagine and I salute Helen Callaghan for raising the issue of mental health and the stigma surrounding it.
Great twist in the end although it may seem disjointed and there are unanswered questions.

Makes you feel things you don't think you should feel for a serial killer

The film was a reminder that Ted Bundy didn't look and act as evil on an average day as we would expect him to, and in most cases, even in the most heinous of cases, evil could be anyone.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2387 KP) rated The 9th Judgment (Women's Murder Club, #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The Women's Murder Club are hot on the trail of a cat burglar who just escalated to murder and a serial killer praying on women and their very young kids. After the disappointing last book in the series, I actually found this one enjoyable. The epilogue left much to be desired, however. Mindless entertainment, but fun mindless entertainment.

Four in a Grave
This. Book.
I have no words.
But I will try my absolute best, to sum up my feelings.
This book is about Tessa who is the only living survivor of a serial killer who buried her alive along with three other girls. Their grave was then covered with 'black-eyed Susans' which are a yellow flowered weed (hence the title of the book)

Jan 29, 2019 (Updated Jan 29, 2019)
Serial killer/true crime documentaries are my favorite things to watch. I recently read The Stranger Beside Me, which is by Ann Rule, who worked with Ted Bundy, and, with the hype surrounding Zac Efron playing Bundy, it makes sense that Netflix would drop this now.
Sadly, it was boring, and offered very little, if any new information. If you don't really know a ton about Bundy, it's a good introduction to his ego and crimes.
