The movie is based on Bundy’s relationship with his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer, who is played by Lily Collins. Other cast members include John Malkovich, Jim Parsons, Haley Joel Osment and Kaya Scodelario.
Bundy is one of the most infamous figures in the history of American crime. He confessed to the killings of at least 30 women from 1974 to 1978, although the true body count is unknown.
He was known for utilizing his good looks and exuding charisma to help attract his victims. Bundy also escaped from jail two times before he was captured and sentenced to death.
He was 42 years old when he was executed on Jan. 24, 1989, at a Florida state prison.
