Netflix ‘Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes’ Graphic, Unfiltered, and Riveting.

Just as the term “serial killer” was being coined in the 1970’s, men began emerging left and right to fit this title’s definition: a person who commits a series of murders, often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic, predictable behavior pattern. Yet none of these men have been as infamous amongst the ranks as Ted Bundy.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes is a four hour Netflix original documentary that chronicles the life, crimes, trial, and death of serial killer Theodore Robert Bundy. Unlike other documentaries which recap much of the basic knowledge afficionados of true crime are familiar with, The Ted Bundy Tapes delves much deeper, with new information freshly exposed for the first time by the mouth of the man himself.

An extremely eerie part of this four part documentary is when the journalist Stephen Michaud describes Ted physically during the midst of their conversations while Bundy described his crimes. “His (Bundy’s) eyes would go black” he recalled as Bundy spoke of his past.

Bundy was known for having extremely blue eyes; a feature that made him so attractive to his victims, as well as the dozens of women who pined after him following his capture. No, Bundy was not possessed by a demon or evil entity. Scientifically explained, the pupil of the eye dilates when we are stimulated and aroused.

The idea of Bundy being turned on when speaking of his past crimes is an even scarier thought than that of him being taken over by an evil force he could not control. Arguably, this physical reaction shows not only his pleasure in the crimes he was convicted of, but betrays his claims of innocence.

Accompanying the audio tapes include compiled videos from the news that show the many sides of the convicted serial killer. One of the most captivating videos is when Bundy is read his indictment for his crimes in Florida, the killing of two Florida University students.

This is the longest piece of news footage of Bundy outside of the courtroom, and reveals the debonair nature he so strongly wielded. Even under the capture of law enforcement, the serial killer appeared to be in control not just of himself, but of the room. Never has a serial killer been so confident, which overflowed into arrogance.

Hearing Bundy’s voice narrate the story of his past to journalist Michaud, whether accurate or not, is haunting. It leaves the viewer with an awareness that serial killers don’t necessarily stand out in a crowd physically. They can be suave and charming, well-educated and articulate, and perhaps most unsettling appear normal.

Never did anyone ever expect what was lurking behind Bundy’s eyes right up until the end. With the release of The Ted Bundy Tapes we now have the killer’s voice telling us what was lurking in his dark mind.

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

The newest episode can be found on Meta Quest TV. If you haven’t already, follow this link to subscribe to the series. Make sure to check out the new clip below.

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
