Hulu's Ted Bundy: Conversations with Evil infuses the genre of true-crime documentaries with a chilling Silence of the Lambs-inspired style
Hulu's "Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil" Offers a Unique Psychological Exploration
Hulu's new docuseries, "Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil," offers a unique perspective on the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy. Instead of focusing solely on Bundy's crimes, this series delves into his role in assisting investigators, particularly detective Robert Keppel, in the 1984 hunt for the Green River Killer in Seattle—a city where Bundy had previously claimed many victims.
The series captures the intense "cat and mouse" psychological dynamic between Bundy and Keppel, highlighting Bundy's manipulative and ambiguous cooperation. This approach provides a rare, in-depth look into Bundy’s mind from the viewpoint of the detective who engaged with him directly, rather than a straightforward recount of Bundy’s crimes.
"Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil" features never-before-heard audio tapes and interviews, offering new insights into Bundy's psyche. The unsettling direct conversations between Bundy and Keppel provide the horror in this series, creating a gripping suspense dynamic that resembles a real-life "Silence of the Lambs."
The docuseries premiered on August 7 and is available exclusively on Hulu. Current subscription options on Hulu for "Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil" include the "With Ads" plan for $9.99 per month and the commercial-free "No Ads" plan for $18.99 per month.
For those who are new to Hulu, a 30-day free trial is available, allowing them to watch "Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil" for free.
Meanwhile, if you're in the mood for a classic psychological thriller, you might want to revisit "The Silence of the Lambs." Directed by Jonathan Demme, this 1991 movie features Jodie Foster as FBI trainee Clarice Starling, Anthony Hopkins as the cannibalistic murderer Hannibal Lecter, and Ted Levine as the serial killer "Buffalo Bill."
