Plot: Ted Bundy wanders the highways of a gritty, decadent 1970s America, searching for his next prey. Hot on his trail are two FBI agents, Kathleen McChesney (Holland Roden) and Robert Ressler (Jake Hays), the organizers of the biggest manhunt in history.

Ted Bundy (1946 - 1989) would lure his prey near colleges and universities and then rape and kill them. The criminal used to return to the crime scene to have intercourse with the decomposed bodies of his victims and used some anatomical parts (the heads) as trophies.
The man was executed in the electric chair on January 24, 1989. Before his execution, the multiple murderer confessed to being the mastermind of 30 murders carried out between 1974 and 1878.
As a reminder, the following will also arrive in U.S. theaters next month No Man of God starring Elijah Wood (Maniac - 2012, Come to Daddy) as an FBI analyst involved in the Ted Bundy case.
