The upcoming movie based on Ted Bundy's life (starring Zac Efron) will either be a smartly-scripted classic or an insensitive train wreck. If Hollywood's upcoming glitzy take on one of the world's most viciously cold serial killers doesn't sound informative enough for you, then check out Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes on Netflix.

Why not? Everyone else is, and they're finding a stomach-churning yarn is waiting for them.

Bundy's murder-fuelled romp through Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Florida is the stuff of nightmares. His 30+ murders (all of young women) are one thing, but it's the trial period that'll really have you reaching for the sick bag. Throughout, Ted's sickening charm and delusions of self-grandeur are nauseating.

The way he escaped prison, manipulated the law system and generally got away with behaving like a real-life Joker for years is terrifying. These Tapes take viewers through Bundy's murders, his arrests, his trial and (eventually) his death row fate.
