Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)


Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is the recently released direct-to-Netflix movie staring Zac Efron as serial killer Ted Bundy. This biographical crime thriller doesn't touch on Bundy's upbringing, or really anything of his life before he started his murder spree. Additionally, we don't see much of the actual violence. The majority of the film splits time between Bundy being in and out of courtrooms and scenes featuring his girlfriend Elizabeth Kendall (played by Lily Collins).

The movie overall is pretty interesting if you're into films about serial killers and Zac Efron gives a really solid performance. However, it is a Netflix movie and it shows. The movie seems to lack direction, and the cinematography and score are nothing to write home about.

Not bad for what it is, but it's really only worth watching for Efron.
2.5 out of 5
