Surprisingly good. Thank you Netflix and Zac Efron.
This wasn't something that was on my list to watch, but my wife is a fan of anything Ted Bundy, so I obliged. From the moment the film begins, you are immediately engulfed in the amazingly twisted love story of Bundy and Liz. The movie is incredibly paced and enthralling. Efron is his normal charismatic self, but surprisingly gripping and believable in the serial killer role. He beautifully parallels the real life man he portrays. The film also does a great job of splicing in actual police photos and TV footage, leading to the gripping final act. To say the least, I was pleasantly surprised.

Zac Efron CAN Really Act

I’d been looking forward to this ever since hearing about it and I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed!
I suppose after watching Zac Efron grow up in High School Musical films and then more grown up (but still musical) in The Greatest Show, I was wondering if he was going to pull it off but he’s certainly shed his teen idol status in this film.
Took me half the film to realise the fat, bearded one was Haley Joel Osment and to think of Jim Parsons as anything other than Sheldon. However he was great and not a bit camp. I really loved Lily Collins performance but I wanted to slap the CarolAnn character cos she was such a drip.
I was amazed that they could make a film of Ted Bundy without violence and gore. Apart from one very tame instance they managed it without it detracting from the film.
It’s a film that I would want to watch again and again, if not for Zac Efrons amazing performance, then to enjoy him getting naked!! As Bridget Jones would say he has a genuinely gorgeous bottom (and all his other parts!!)

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.

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.

Wow!!!
Having tried to avoid this film since it came out, I finally succumbed and was immediately obsessed.
The story of PT Barnum and his freak show has been filmed before but this film totally dazzled me. Yeah, so it’s not historically correct, take this musical for what it is and you’ll love it!
The songs are catchy, there is a tidy story, and what girl in her right mind doesn’t enjoy the opportunity to dribble over Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron!!

The soundtrack!
The message that being different is good and should be celebrated as much as normality is.

I'm only adding to my negative thing, but it contains spoilers so I'm writing it here - Jenny was a complete b*tch. She knew she was just an act to Barnum. He did let her know at the beginning. What was the point in moving in on him? He introduced her to his wife and daughters!

First things first, Zac Efron is great in the role of Bundy. He plays his role excellently.
I wasn't too sure about watching this movie to be honest, but I actually thought it was a very good movie.
It didn't play up very much to the whole Bundy being 'attractive' etc but did give a very good insight to how 'charming' and persuasive he was.
The ending shows a list of Bundy's known victims and shows footage of the real Bundy. He was clearly a very manipulative and dangerous person.
I highly recommend this movie
