“How could anyone live in a society where people they liked, lived with and admired turn out to be the most demonic people imaginable?”— Ted Bundy
Looks like good old Netflix has another killer original documentary series headed our way later this month. This new documentary is called CONVERSATIONS WITH A KILLER: THE TED BUNDY TAPES and it's release will coincide with the 30th anniversary of the infamous serial killer's Florida execution. The film will bring the infamously twisted mind of serial killer Ted Bundy into the light for the very first time and invades our psyche in a fresh yet terrifying way through exclusive, never-before-heard interviews from the “Jack the Ripper of the United States,” himself.
This unique and gripping doc series, directed and executive produced by true crime pioneer Joe Berlinger (BLAIR WITCH 2: BOOK OF SHADOWS), focuses on the man whose personality, good looks and social graces defied the serial-killer stereotype, allowing him to hide in plain sight as he committed the brutal sex-crime slayings of more than 30 women before being caught in 1978. While on trial, Bundy received extraordinary adoration from American women, which made his gruesome crimes doubly haunting, even in an era of anything-goes mayhem.
Inspired by the book written by Stephen G. Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth, the series utilizes over 100 hours of exclusive audio interviews that the two journalists conducted with Bundy on death row in 1980, giving the unique perspective of hearing the killer analyze his own life and motives.
Here's the synopsis:
Present-day interviews, archival footage and audio recordings made on death row form a searing portrait of serial killer Ted Bundy.
On top of directing the film, Berlinger also acts as Executive Producer alongside Justin Wilkes, Jon Doran, and Jon Kamen. Sara Enright produced the series, which will launch globally on Netflix Thursday, Jan 24, 2019. You can go ahead and head over to Netflix and bookmark the page RIGHT HERE.
