Curse of the Zodiac

Curse of the Zodiac is a 2007 American horror film from Lionsgate, written and directed by Ulli Lommel, inspired by the true story of the hunt for a notorious serial killer known as Zodiac who claimed responsibility for the still unsolved murders.

The Zodiac Killer Jack Quinn terrorizes the San Francisco Bay area in the early 1970s. He murders random people and uses cryptic symbols and coded messages to taunt the media and the San Francisco Police, leaving the people of San Francisco in fear.A halfpoint out of a possible five was given to the film by Jon Condit of Dread Central, who concluded, The sorry fact is that Curse of the Zodiac is a total mess. David Johnson of DVD Verdict heavily criticized Curse of the Zodiac, writing, The movie plays out like this Zodiac Killer wanders around, the camera shakes a lot, he kills a girl, the camera shakes a lot, the psychic gets a headache and has a vision of the crime scene, the camera shakes a lot, Zodiac calls the journalist and talks trash, the camera shakes a lot and repeat x4. Even if youre able to penetrate the insane editing, the narrative within will almost certainly bore your migrainehaving ass. Add to that, the acting is universally atrociousthe scenes with the psychic and her boyfriend are a case study on how to miss cues and flub lines. Bloody Disgustings Brian W. Collins included Curse of the Zodiac on hisWorst Horror Films of 2007 list, in which he stated, Not getting a single detail right about the Zodiac other than the setting is the least of its problems. It took effort to even get through the entire film, which consisted mainly ofscenes repeated over and over killer taunts the cop, killer taunts the girl, killer kills some hippies we have never seen before. Garrett and Sean Neil Something Awful awarded a near perfect score of 4950, and described the film as nothing more than a twisted labyrinth of spinning, outoffocus cameras and pointless gibberish. ........
