A chronicle of the crimes of Ted Bundy from the perspective of Liz, his longtime girlfriend, who refused to believe the truth about him for years. MOVIE NAME = FIRST 10 SECONDS OF THE VIDEO.
on one hand, I’m sure she didn’t think he could ever do something as horrible as killing 30 women. but on the other hand, the real liz was almost killed by him several times. once he tried to kill her by carbon monoxide poisoning and she barely escaped. he threatened her more than once. there’s a reason why she gave his name to the police.
@@nombusomngadi5110 The filmmakers did a decent job. Dont believe everything you see in the comments especially if its typed by a delusional kid with loads of shit.
She always suspected that or rather knew that he has been stealing. That several items in his house were stolen. I guess she once saw bag full of a girl's belongings as well.. she asked him n he threatened her. He used to inspect her body with flashlights while she was asleep. He used to be out at midnight without any reason while with her. She very much suspected that he was the serial killer especially after lake Sammamish murders n she took so much time to report because she wasn't perfectly sure. This movie is not based on real events. Ted had other gf stephanie Brooke while he was studying law. She rejected while in a degree college after dating a for while but later again had relationship while he was in law school n while he was in a relationshipwith liz. He cheated on Liz many times with stephanie n later turned her down just to have self satisfaction of turning her down. Ted and Liz relationship in this movie is romanticized toa certain extent. But somehow liz only suspected him n she was in a happy relationship with him with few fights that's what she says in the interviews.
@@test-jt5el the original comment is literally true you’re just butthurt someone’s criticizing the movie. The real Liz wrote in her book about her weird he was, all the awful things he did to her, and that she suspected he was a killer for quite awhile.
To those thinking this movie was romanticising a serial killer; indeed it was, this was made based on Liz’s POV at the time where she WANTED to believe all of his deceptions (until before the end) keyword: wanted
I feel like thats what a lot of people misunderstood, Ted was handsome and charismatic, and throughout the movie you even start to question if he he did it even though we all know the story of Ted Bundy. Which is exactly how a lot of the public felt during the trial
She was the person who reported him to the authorities… so no she didn’t believe his deceptions. She is literally the reason he was investigated. Read her book
@@Annebelle369 She didn't believe in him. But a part of her wants to believe he's innocent. Otherwise, there's no need for her to get closure at the end . Though this is what I got from the movie, so I don't know for fact or not Liz feels this way.
I think a lot of people don’t like it or believe it’s romanticized bc Ted threatened her multiple times through their relationship and was abusive. And in the movie they show that she wasn’t suspicious the entire time but she was in real life
I know she didn't know he was a serial killer, but I just don't get how parents can invite a total stranger into their homes and lives when they have young children. It baffles me.
I definitely wouldn't on the first date for sure, but eventually you have to. Otherwise, what's the alternative? A lifetime of loneliness? It's just sad that situations like this can happen when the person they meet is a literal serial killer o_o
@@BrightNeonBrilliancy It's so rare that it goes well though. Even if you date someone for years you don't always know them. Biological parents abuse their children. I would rather be lonely than risk my kids being hurt by a person that I introduced into their lives. Only when they're teens and they have very good boundaries and are no longer vulnerable would I consider it.
@@ilou9129 it’s always a risk, regardless. Kids or no. At any age. But if you live in fear of that possibility, you’re going to be pretty miserable. Me personally, I met my step dad when I was a little girl and I wouldn’t change that for anything.
@@ilou9129 that argument could be made towards the biological parent too. You need to have good judgement and trust it, not live in fear forever. That will also hurt.
Because portraying the life of a real-life individual always usually provides a challenge for some actors. Like Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot for example. He's had to stay in his character's wheelchair at all times and even had people carry him around and spoon-feed him.
He’s honestly surprisingly good at acting serious roles, from what I’ve seen. I recommend watching him in Charlie St. Cloud if you haven’t yet, he’s really good in that movie
You missed the most shocking part when she opens the files the cop gave her.... It actually was the most haunting part because she realized what she was exposed to.
Huge red flag if someone just grabs your kid from the crib without waking you up the first time they've ever met you and been in your house. Just saying😂🤷♂️
i’d find it sweet. Idk.. Someone like Ted was easy to trust. You wouldn’t find it weird at the time especially if you’re romantically involved with then
My mother who was a teenager in the 70's said This was the first time that people realized clean-cut, educated men (and women) with manners can be sociopathic criminals...and that "Evil" wears many disguises and appears in many forms.
Reminds me of when I was a kid on the 70's and a well-dressed man tried to solicit me for sex. I was shocked because I'd always thought pedophiles were grimy loser types. Now they're everywhere especially among the elites and political class.
As i've Always stated; you really think the Devil comes at you with bat wings and Horns? No. He will be the most beautiful Man you've ever laid your Eyes on. Just ask Armie-Hammer?
The creepiest thing was watching the real Molly and Liz and and Molly saying once Ted was completely nude when they were playing a game, and that she never told her mother, he gave some insane excuse and of course she was a child who saw him as a father figure, and I suppose tried to justify why he did that, until later when she was adult I am sure it gave her the creeps. Especially when she found out what he did. Edit. I just wanted to say he gave the child a insane excuse to why he did that, not the mother, the mother never knew he had done that. He also pushed the mother off a raft once and scared her. But she never knew he had done that to her child because Molly never told her, because she was afraid Ted would get in trouble.
@@CUZdeathwins it's still extremely terrible and not something to laugh about. After all this is a true story. It actually happened to people. That's never something to laugh or joke about..
If you didn't know this was based on a true story, watching this you would think he was really innocent until they revealed the truth towards the end when he admits it.
@@tenzined u don't know about Ted bundy? You can Google him, he was a serial killer. He assaulted and k*lled multiple women. This movie was based on him.
Zac looked DISTURBINGLY similar to the real Bundy. Yikes. As great as this movie was, they did the real Liz dirty. The real Liz was not nearly as blind, and became suspicious way earlier than this movie Liz. She was also more proactive in discovering the incriminating evidence in Bundy's car, and in their home. Now that I think about it, another movie Liz also got the same treatment. I don't know why they keep repeating this. -.-
Yea the actress shouldn't be Liz it should be Carol. I still think Carol was only manipulated into leaving Ted & would've stuck with him until his execution. I think Ted saw/knew his daughter was his since she looked exactly like him. And hoped she would inherit whatever genetic thing he got that made him crazy, and he knew he inherited it. Or he just hoped she and her offpsring turn out like him. So he wanted Carol to shelter her from the public, maybe hoping she and her offspring would take society by surprise as Bundy2.0
Why would you invite a stranger in your house with your baby in there. No one speaks about serious matters at a diner in public. Unpleasant info will create a scene. To be "innocent", he surely escapes a lot.
Zack did incredible in this, he wasnt wanting to do it at first as of the roll he would be taking, but that's the reason why they wanted Zack as hes such a likeable guy as Ted was, so it was hard for many to believe about the crimes he committed.
@@ashleetyler429 sadly this is what happened with ted bundy. girls sent letters and refused to believe that a handsome man like him could do something like this.
@@vrl9037 As someone who finds great peace and power in writing it really saddens me how illiterate people are becoming, and this is in the countries with public education... no hope for the future.
He really was arrogant. He thought he could get away with it up until the end. Even in an interview after he was put on death row he still insisted that he didn't do it. He was waiting for any little slip up in the legal system to free him. He was a narcissist and a psychopath.
@@phil352 far from a genius smh he was as much of a genius as he was "good-looking" smh not being rude or funny but the privilege of being a well mannered and articulate straight white male in backwood areas, it was more of them being stupid and overly trusting than it was him being a geniuses. From start to finish the case was a eye roller smh
Liz cut off Ted's supply, he then used Carol as the new supply because he saw he wasn't going to be able to get anywhere with Liz. Carol really thought that Ted loved her & that she could prove to him her loyalty by sacrificing (moving to FL) and "standing by him"... little did she know she was just being used.
@@kylalibero1819 That was his favorite way to use her bc the child looked exactly like her. Maybe he inherited his craziness from his grandpa and hoped his daugther/her offspring would too. So he wanted Carol to raise her away form the public
@@Noam_.Menashe I want somebody to look at me the way Judge Schroeder looks at Rittenhouse. Also, why did they choose prosecutors that appear to have barely passed 2nd grade?
Zac Efron also took a 99% pay cut for the rest of the money to go to the movie's production to better tell Liz's story, I don't follow him that much but that was a nice gesture of him
What still baffles me is Carol's entire denial of Ted's crimes. Up to this day, she still says Ted is innocent. She idolizes the man; it's horrifying 😫
Zac efron did so good playing this role I was even believing he was innocent then remembered this was based on a true story and indeed Ted bundy was guilty of it all
@@NoCluYT personal opinion Ted Bundy was not a “pretty face”how you just mentioned I think it was his charisma that fooled those women or idk if he looked like Zac Efren best believe I would of fell for him lol but not the actual Ted bundy
some people in the comment section dont even know about ted bundy. if you read about the actual ted bundy you will see the red flags from his very first appearance in the movie imo. that guy used the "handsome" card so well, sadly for not the right reasons.
I’ve worked with sociopaths that look exactly like he does in this thumbnail. Their whole agenda is to keep you caught in their web. You don’t even matter to them. The only thing that matters to them is that they’ve exerted control in their meaningless lives and that’s what you’re there for. The wife is experiencing real emotions, while he is not. She thinks they’re doing the same thing, and they are not.
@@mr.d.572 He tried to kill Liz twice, and admitted it to her from jail. Yet didn't try to kill Carol once. He was letting Liz know maybe to weed out ladies who weren't like Carol. And maybe he was controlling his sickness by preying on Carol'a 14 y/o son at the time. Maybe his sole agenda from dating was a child from a brainwashed lady like Carol who inherited his sickness. If he knew he inherited it by seeing his grandpa act as mental
@@mr.d.572 I always found it wired he admitted his crime in letter to Liz. He was caught by he damned himself further. Why? Maybe he knew a Carol would come along after a Liz turned him in
Deceived her!? I knew he did it and was still deceived like “maybe he didn’t do it” 🤣 Zach Efron played the part to a T… and that’s what’s so scary about Ted Bundy
I couldn’t unsee Ted’s face in Zac Efron since this movie. I’m used to seeing him in sort of cheesy movies but wasn’t surprised that he’s actually a good actor in serious roles. He did well in Charlie St. Cloud too.
You left out the most chilling way he revealed to her what he did: He wrote out the word 'hacksaw' on the foggy glass in silence after she repeatedly asked him what he had done to the victim after showing him the picture of her decapitated body while he was denying it the whole time and as he was typing those words there was a montage of what actually happened (how she helped him to his car, hit her with a metal object, took her to the wooded area and finally grabbed the hacksaw off the ground that he used to decapitate her with). Gave me such chills. This guy is true evil.
this is why I think he manipulated Carol to leave him. I feel like he knew the daughter was his after seeing she looked exactly like him. I also thnk he knew he genetically inherited his craziness, maybe his grandpa had the same thing. And he wanted Carol to leave him so his daughter could grow up out of the public's eye. And he hoped his daugther or her offspring would continue his work.
@@zeekyeoz4988 I hope that is not the case at all! It could be possible...but I would like to believe Carol and her daughter (and their descendants) are living a crime-free life. It is easier to catch serial killers nowadays due to DNA advancements so if she did commit those acts she will inevitably be found.
@@samia6888 I hope so as well. It's a theory & I'm not sure if Ted's craziness was inherited. But if it was his grandson can get it as a few dozen people are saying he looks exactly like Ted. I believe Ted didn't care about anyone/anything, & his only motive t get her(and Carol) our of the public eye, only for his work. I believe they did live crime.free lives too, except I'm not too sure if Carol ever saw the light. Her daughter & grandson also might be good but again if they inherited craziness sadly they could shoot up a place. Maybe even in England
I haven't watched the movie but instead I've watched the documentary on Netflix, really disturbing, he's a manipulating sick cold hearted psychopath I was in chock and disgus.
@@Um4r3x I mean, it is a biopic of Ted Bundy, everyone knows he got the death penalty. You can still watch it knowing the ending and what happens to see HOW it unfolds, and how the actors portray the drama.
i knew the story for years and still enjoyed it, thats hard to do. like i've never seen Titanic because (spoiler alert) the boat sinks, end of story but this kept me interested all the way.
Poor Jerry, competing for the love of a single mom with an imprisoned serial killer 3000 miles away and still can't win! Meanwhile, beautiful and single young women by the hundreds declare their undying love for the serial killer that kills women😕!
when he is admonishing his lawyer. You see the lawyer looking down and away. That is a courtroom tacit message among lawyers to sign that the client is going off the script.
i love how he talks about historical figures like they are just some guys like he just calls Ted Bundy the most known american serial killer in history and just calls him "Ted" like hes some guy. Its like if he recapped a movie with Hitler he'll just call him Adolf
Everyone is talking bout zac efron's acting indeed it was amazing but can we take a moment to appreciate lily collins acting as well who played as liz?
cool story, but does anyone else find it interesting the same guy who plays Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory was a prosecutor in this film? hadn't a clue Sheldon was a prosecutor at the time
Tell me why at 9:33 I realized it was Ted Bundy’s story yet i was obsessed with learning about serial killers and their stories and i learned about him and this 😭✋
I think I rememeber that in the movie and in real life it turns out Liz was the one who called the cops on Ted because his car matching the supect's car but Ted didn't know till she told him when he was in prison,
