"No Man Of God" (2021) #elijahwood #tedbundy #truecrime #movies

"Excellent addition to the grotesque tale of Ted Bundy".

I first watched No Man of God roughly a year ago and with a recent gap in my otherwise busy film watching schedule I decreed to re-watch it again if only to see if I was as impressed as I was originally a year ago and suffice to say, I was.

I grew up with the grotesque legend that was Theodore “Ted” Bundy. A voracious reader of true crime, I’ve read a couple of books on the repugnant serial killer as well as watching a variety of documentaries of varying quality and returning all the way to my teenage childhood when my dear old Mum would treat me every fortnight to a 32 page publication (and associated replica newspaper of the day) entitled Murder Casebook and I was as hooked on the story of Ted Bundy as I was with any other from this macabre genre and history of violence. No Man of God only covers the final four years of the life of an imprisoned Ted Bundy on death row, as well as a seven day countdown to his execution in the electric chair on 24th January 1989. But I’ve long been aware of the much larger and much darker back story to a horrendous serial killer of unspeakable crimes, crimes dating as far back as the mid 1970’s, imprisonment, trials, a daring escape from a jail when on trial and, when re-arrested and his known crimes publicly acknowledged and published, becoming a charismatic figure with a loquacious tongue who enchanted admirers all around the world. This creation of an image that his followers fell in love with would continue up to the point of execution as would Bundy’s cat and mouse games in not fully admitting to or acknowledging every one of his viciously unspeakable crimes.
