Zac Efron Pulled Off The Perfect Ted Bundy

"Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile" premiered this weekend on Netflix. Many have been waiting for this movie to come out because of Zac Efron. What nobody expected was how convincing he would be.

The movie is depicted from Ted Bundy's long-time girlfriends perspective. It shows the trials and tribulations she went through during his arrests, trials, and eventually death.

Just for starters, Efron shares very similar looks to Bundy. Efron studied so in depth that side by side comparisons make it eerily the same. Put Efron in the clothes that Bundy wore for important moments in his life, and you have an indistinguishable look.

One of the major things that made Ted Bundy a notorious killer was the charm. It's why many people didn't believe that he was capable of killing many people. He used it to his advantage and was good at it.

Zac Efron also has that natural charm. It comes out in every movie he does, which is why he made such a good Ted Bundy. He's just a naturally likable guy which is why his acting as Bundy didn't seem forced at all.

The whole time you watch this movie, the only thing you can think of is that's Troy Bolton playing a serial killer. It's weird for his long-time fans to see a different side in his acting career.

Efron never once made Bundy look like a good guy as many biopics do. He portrayed him exactly as he was and how the world saw him. It makes him that much more of an amazing actor because he showed Bundy for who he was.

Zac Efron was the perfect person to have been chosen to play this role. His acting and looks were spot on and made the film come to life.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
