My name is Richard Larsen. You'll meet me soon at the beginning of our story, our nightmare that began in Seattle in 1974, and ended, for most of us, in Miami in 1979. It didn't end for the families, the husbands, the lovers of the victims. It will never end for them. This story is about them too: the victims, their loved ones, and the few dedicated men who didn't give up.

a killer performance...

A note to any wannabe actors: study Mark Harmon&apos;s performance heavily here. You will learn all the tricks to being sauve, slick, sinister and charming. Unfortunately, the part had to be inspired by real events, of 70&apos;s wacko Ted Bundy.  Masquerading as a law student with a talent of attracting girls seemingly in every port, a different man takes over at night as Harmon stalks and kills young women.  This element of the film got a bit redundant after awhile, and really isn&apos;t the key.  Neither is the endless policework that can be seen weekly on every prime-time cop show.  It&apos;s Harmon&apos;s way of double-talking his girlfriends, and especially, the police.  Watching Harmon&apos;s scenes on the witness stand or in the questioning room of the police station are your chance to watch a total pro at work.  And the actors portraying the cops aren&apos;t slouches either.  Tons of veterans like M. Emmett Walsh, Frederic Forest and John Ashton are featured.  And a very effective performance from unknown journeyman actor George Grizzard, as Bundy&apos;s only friend through it all.  He comes off very likable as the guy who just can&apos;t bring himself to condemn this young buck he admires.  The two or three actresses featured here and there do ok as well.  The only mis-step for the film is the majorly overdone, if still somewhat creepy music score.  It gets a bit B-movie at times, but it adds to the eerieness of the film&apos;s tone. Though at 3 hours (4 if you&apos;re watching with commercials) it grips you from start to finish.  But the real draw, most notably for aspiring actors, is to forget classes and watch Mark Harmon put on a clinic for performing.
