Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Berlinger directed this between 'Conversations with a Killer' doc episodes, deliberately blurring documentary and drama aesthetics. The casting of Efron sparked debate about 'attractive' killers and public memory.
The real Liz Kendall consulted on the script but requested her name be changed; the film uses her pseudonym from her memoir. The courtroom scenes were shot in the actual Orlando courthouse where Bundy was tried.
