Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
Zac Efron turns to the dark side, away from his squeaky-clean High School Musical screen persona, in a biopic about a convicted serial killer, which draws inspiration from Elizabeth Kloepfer's memoir The Phantom Prince: My Life With Ted Bundy. Director Joe Berlinger's film unfolds from the perspective of single mother Liz Kendall (Lily Collins), who is surprised when handsome beau Ted Bundy (Zac Efron) chooses to woo her. She has a young daughter Molly at home and most guys aren't interested in Liz given her family ties. Ted charms Liz and her daughter and quickly moves in with them. Soon after, he is arrested by police but Liz stands beside her man as the charges accumulate leading to a murder trial in front of Judge Edward Court (John Malkovich). As television cameras flock to the case, Ted accumulates crowds of adoring female fans including Carole Ann Boone (Kaya Scodelario), who is convinced of his innocence.
