“Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil & Vile” (Netflix)

“This is the story of Ted Bundy through the eyes of Elizabeth Kendall, the woman that Ted lived with for years and she couldn’t get out of head or her life despite how much she’s tried. The movie is really about her and the court system. You see very little of any of Ted’s crimes and murders, but much more focus on how he insisted on his innocence and continued to defend himself in court. A lot of this stuff is pretty interesting, even though you don’t really learn anything new. Zac Efron is really good as Ted and plays him as a charmer, just like he was. He looked just like him too. The film is very slow in the first hour, but perks up and gets a lot better once the trial starts. I was pretty impressed on much they paid attention to detail. You can see that in the end credits. Good cast with Jim Parsons, Lily Collins John Malkovich and Haley Joel Osment in supporting roles.
