Considering how many times this guy says "eat shit" to his family members in the trailer -- yeah. Not exactly the next Steve Rogers.
Lucifer tells the story of the Devil's exploits on Earth, and he is surrounded by many antagonists. Here are the most vile villains on the show.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile was released thirty years following the execution of one of America's most notorious and feared serial killers, Ted Bundy. The film features High School Musical alum Zac Efron as the dangerously charming Bundy, whose murder sprees originated in the Seattle area and moved on to Utah, Colorado and Florida. The film primarily depicts Bundy being tried for these crimes in court, and the effects it has on his loved ones (specifically Liz (Lily Collins) his girlfriend), sparing us from the gruesome details of his victims' fates. While we were busy taking note of the informative and thoroughly intense film, it's likely we overlooked some things, 10 of which we're pointing out here and now.
Here are some answers if you were confused why the Netflix film about Ted Bundy is more love story then slasher flick.
When Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile was announced, many found it in poor taste as the trailer seemed to glamorize the life of sinister serial killer Ted Bundy. While the choice of a charismatic heartthrob to portray pure evil may have been questionable, by the final five minutes of the film, it was clear how wicked Bundy truly was. According to the director, Joe Berlinger, the intention of the film was to cast light on the viewpoint of Bundy's girlfriend, Liz Kloepfer. This is a vantage point not often seen while watching the documentary, Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, which was also created by Berlinger.
Despite Zac Efron’s performance, the film’s humorous take on a serial killer as a rock star doesn't really work.
Getting the role of a serial killer out of your head is nothing like moving on from catchy showtunes.
The trailer for the serial killer movie manages to be dark and creepy without showing any of the actual crimes.
Netflix has released a new Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile trailer. The new movie from Joe Berlinger (Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes) looks at the crimes of Ted Bundy (Zac Efron) from the perspective of his longtime girlfriend Liz (Lily Collins). I caught the film at Sundance and felt that Berlinger had fallen into a bit of a trap in trying to capture Bundy. In looking at his subject, he missed all his victims and saw the same seductive sociopath the rest of the world saw, so there’s not a lot of new insight even …

Netflix has acquired the rights for reportedly $9 million to director Joe Berlinger's Ted Bundy film, starring Zac Efron.
The 2019 Sundance Film Festival may be complete, but the acquisitions aren’t yet over. One of the hottest sales titles was surely Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, which stars Zac Efron as Ted Bundy. The film premiered to fairly positive reviews, although some critics had their reservations about the value of such a story being told. Now THR reports that Netflix is in talks to acquire the U.S. rights and some international rights to distribute the film for an impressive $9 million, beating out competitors like Lionsgate and STXfilms. While that number is less than what Amazon …
Zac Efron knew the risk in taking on this role and made a conscious effort to toe the line and not make Ted Bundy into an aspirational figure.
Zac Efron has frequently proven willing to change his hair for roles, whether that be to emulate Ted Bundy, or put wild stripes into his facial hair to play a beach bum. Now he's blonde. Really, really blonde.
People have long been fascinated by serial killers. What could make one human being capable of being so evil towards his fellow man? But Ted Bundy remains one of the most intriguing monsters in history simply because of how strongly people wanted to not believe he could be capable of the horrors he inflicted on women throughout his life. He was famously charismatic and charming, to the point that he had a gaggle of young female supporters all throughout his murder trial. This dichotomy between Bundy’s seemingly charismatic nature and the nausea-inducing crimes he committed is the crux …
Beneath the charming and charismatic exterior lurks unspeakable horrors in the film about the notorious serial killer.
