I don't object to a film about Bundy, or even one that deals very directly and graphically with his crimes. I object to the presentation in this trailer of Bundy and his crimes. Cinema is a language of signifiers, and we has consumers of film have learned to associate particular signifiers with particular themes, ideas, and sympathies. The trailer primes us to side with/root for, or at least on some level cheer on, Bundy, because of the way it is cut and edited, the use of music, the text and presentation of the title slides, etc. It's fucked up for the trailer of a movie about Ted Bundy, a real man who really did rape and murder over twenty innocent women and children, many of them too young to vote, to have a vibe closer to that of the trailer for Suicide Squad than that of a comparable film like The Silence of the Lambs or Zodiac.

ETA: If you actually think what I'm objecting to is...acknowledging things Ted Bundy literally did then you are confused.
