How accurate does Netflix's new Ted Bundy movie portray the serial killer and his relationships?

Netflix debuted its Ted Bundy-centered movie Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile Friday. The film, starring Zac Efron and Lily Collins, first premiered during the Sundance Film Festival in January and received some harsh criticism for what some saw as an attempt to"glamorize" the heinous crimes of one of America's most notorious serial killers.

Like the movie, the two met at a bar and began dating shortly after. While Bundy seemed to be the perfect husband and father figure for Kloepfer, she became suspicious of her boyfriend after police released details of a murder suspect. Boone gave birth to Rose in October 1982. That means Rose is 36 years old today. Where Rose is, or what she’s been up to in recent years is unknown. This may be because her parents divorced in 1986 and moved away from Florida, where Bundy was on death row, and Boone never saw him again.

Zac Efron and Kaya Rose Scodelario on the set of 'Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.' Netflix Bundy did offer a"confession" to Kloepfer; however, it was over the phone and the conversation mainly consisted of Bundy saying he had a"sickness." In Kloepfer's memoir, she noted that Bundy called her in 1978 about the details that were going to come out about his then-suspected killings.
