Zac Efron looks ‘Shockingly Evil’ as Ted Bundy in first movie photo

Zac Efron posted a photo of himself Thursday on Instagram from his new movie, “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile” — as Ted Bundy.

But he still looks like … Zac Efron.

That’s because Hollywood suddenly seems to think serial killers — especially real ones — are smoking hot.

Look at Darren Criss, who won an Emmy for playing Andrew Cunanan in “The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” or cute singer Ross Lynch as Jeffrey Dahmer in “My Friend Dahmer.”

Whatever happened to Hannibal Lecter and Sweeney freakin’ Todd?

Anyway, the 31-year-old actor’s Bundy biopic is set to premiere in January at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.

Lily Collins, 29, co-stars as Bundy’s girlfriend, Elizabeth Kloepfer, who struggled to accept the reality of her handsome boyfriend’s personality. Kaya Scodelario, 26, plays Bundy’s wife, Carole Ann Boone, a twice-divorced mother of two who allegedly assisted in Bundy’s 1977 escape from prison.

Bundy wasn’t just a serial killer — he was also a rapist, burglar, kidnapper and necrophile who made headlines in the 1970s for targeting an undetermined number of women and girls.

After years of denials, Bundy finally confessed to 30 homicides committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978, shortly before he was executed by electrocution in 1989.

Bundy’s actual body count remains unknown to this day.

“Ted was the only person in my 40 years of being a lawyer that I would say that he was absolutely born evil,” his onetime criminal defense attorney, John Henry Browne, told Fox News earlier this year.
