The late Ted Bundy has been given a new lease on (taking) life thanks to director Joe Berlinger, who has crafted the Netflix biopic about the infamous serial killer, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile. The film is now out on Netflix in most markets – much to the excitement of fans.
Whether it’s Zac Efron in the leading role of Ted Bundy, or the morbid fascination with serial killers that always seems pervasive in our culture, the buzz around Extremely Wicked is strong – as it was for Berlinger’s Ted Bundy documentary Conversations with a Killer, which was released earlier this year.

Who would stay up all night waiting on a nightmare to arrive? One look at this guy’s profile picย pretty much answers itย (“I’m a different breed…”).ย

Apparently, in the eyes of some fans, “scruffy prisoner” is a very good look on Zacย Efron.

Some viewers couldn’t stay up long enough forย Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vileย to drop, and made the prudent move of actually going to sleep. Good for them!ย
