But what does the actor, who played the serial rapist and murderer, make of the infamous individual?
Speaking to ET Canada at a red carpet event ahead of the film’s release, Zac Efron gave an insight into his take on one of the most prolific serial killers in US history.
“He’s a very confusing and confused individual,” Zac said of Bundy who he portrays in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.

“Ted was – he used – he was a mass manipulator and I think he’s a fascinating individual,” the 31-year-old continued.
Discussing his preparation ahead of the film’s shoot, Zac said he wanted to emulate Bundy, but was keen to avoid an impersonation.
“But I wanted to make sure it wasn’t an impersonation,” Zac explained. “We look kind of similar and I think we have some of the same mannerisms, that’s just luck.”
Earlier this week, Netflix responded to the dialogue surrounding Conversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, and urged viewers to consider directing their praise elsewhere.
