Ted Bundy (2002)
Matthew Bright will one day make a film that can stand as a follow-up to Freeway. This, as you might have guessed, isn't it. It's not really bad or incompetent or anything, and occasionally it is somewhat effective (more so when it tries for queasy black comedy than when it plays with a straight face -- during the more serious moments, Bright's approach feels less clinical and more disinterested). But ya know, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is still readily available in most places, thus wiping out what little point this film had to exist. I'll continue to follow Bright's work, but I'm starting to get mighty annoyed.
Grade: C
