Anybody who has seen the appalling, breathless TV trailer for Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile will be already suspicious. The picture shows little violence, limits the most gory descriptions and holds its one, gruesome image back for an effective final scene. Based on a memoir by Elizabeth Kloepfer, Bundy’s fiancee, Shockingly Evil is properly focused on the women he betrayed and deceived. The film is not nearly so imaginative – or speculative, to be fair – as the recent My Friend Dahmer. If the film is to be believed, Kloepfer, played with nervous conviction by Lily Collins, caught no behavioural intimations of the killer within.
