Zac Efron plays infamous serial killer Ted Bundy in the upcoming biopic Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, arriving on Netflix and in select theaters sometime in 2019. But those worried that the former High School Musical star’s participation meant producers would be pulling their punches with the subject matter can breathe a sigh of relief.
Today, we can confirm that Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile has locked down an R-rating for “disturbing/violent content, some sexuality, nudity, and language.” For fans of the more extreme end of the horror spectrum, this is music to our ears.
