Review of Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) by Tryasummersault — 04 May 2019
5.8/10 Essentially a watered down glossier version of the Bundy story mostly focused on his womanizing and massive ego, and not on his actually wicked acts. The potential was blown completely with this Bundy story.
It's shot well, and acted mostly standard but Efron is not convincing at all in the slightest as Bundy. He does not embody the actual Ted Bundy in any aspect other than the looks. He could've at least tried to adopt Ted's dialect or personality traits in the portrayal.
The soundtrack is obnoxious and the editing is way too rushed. The ending is actually very well done as they actually touch on one of his murders, but when thats the only actually wicked scene for the entire film its underwhelming.
You're better off watching Berlinger's other Ted Bundy production which was excellent; The Ted Bundy Tapes.
