Zac Efron gives an eerie, on-target performance as Ted Bundy in a drama that digs into why this serial killer with a "normal" surface still haunts us; he's startlingly good: controlled, magnetic, audacious, committed, and eerily right
Joe Berlinger attacks the story in a rough-and-ready style only somewhat more refined than what he employs in documentaries, and the approach feels entirely appropriate
a fascinating exploration of how one evil person could fool some people into thinking he wasn't capable of violent acts; Extremely Wicked, Shocking Evil and Vile is fueled by Zac Efron's performance, which is unlike anything we've ever seen the actor do
"Extremely Wicked", rings hollow and false and is really just as interested in the sensational and salacious as any other reductive thriller. Efron does his best...as does Collins, but the film itself doesn't really do them any favors
