This Is the Zodiac Speaking

The most compelling circumstantial evidence provided to the public. Watch this documentary to get an insight into the family exposed and linked to a strong suspect for the Zodiac serial killings.

Arguably this is the most renowned serial murder case in the US that has gone unsolved for decades. The family associated with Arthur Leigh Allen provide their insight to growing up with a man who they trusted and accepted into their family. As the decades pass and they reflect on their dealings with the suspect, they begin to piece together that Arthur Leigh Allen, the person they welcomed into their family, could very well be the notorious Zodiac killer that has evaded conviction for decades.

This documentary should provide more focus for detectives to come to a final conclusion on the Zodiac killer.

A family welcome in big and burly teacher, Arthur Leigh Allen into their world, he seems perfect, caring and considerate, but could he potentially be The Zodiac killer, a masked figure, who's claimed several victims, and delights in tormenting The Authorities.

A well known story, a fairly infamous serial killer, one that of course inspired an excellent movie adaptation.

It's revealing and shocking in equal measure, with some fascinating first hand interviews, with people who knew Allen well.

It's well paced and well produced, it will keep you on your toes, it does tail off a little bit in the third episode, but those behind it can't be blamed, as there's no resolution, only theories.

It's a story that's always intrigued me, and I've never had any doubts as to Allen's guilt, this three last series did nothing to change my mind, I still believe he's guilty, I'm just stunned they weren't able to convict him.

8/10.

"Zodiac Killer" is the first serial killer that intrigued me. I was maybe 8 years old when I first saw a documentary about him. Since then, I have been returning to the topic from time to time, listening to podcasts on the subject and generally being interested in new facts in the investigation. I've watched a lot of documentaries on the subject, listened to podcasts, and even read books, so I had to see this documentary as well. Was it possible to create a complete film about this monster in human skin this time?

No. But it doesn't matter at all, because this film is very close to being a perfect summary of a long-term investigation for those who have been following the case for a long time, and at the same time to be a shortcut for those who only know about Zodiac from David Fincher's film.

So why did the film get a 7/10 from me and not a 9/10, if it is "almost perfect"? Because in my opinion it is too fictionalized. There are too many unnecessary stories, too many digressions and asking questions, and not enough accurate presentation of the facts about Zodiac.

Nevertheless, it is worth watching this film to judge for yourself whether the way it is presented suits your taste. For me, it was slightly too long for the amount of information it gives. It could easily have had two episodes instead of three, if only those genre scenes, which did not add much to the film, were abandoned.

I've always been intrigued by the statements from these brothers, and it amazed me that no one had done anything about it... until now! Without a doubt, Arthur Leigh Allen was, is, and will be the number one suspect-miles ahead of anyone else, light-years, even. There's a huge amount of circumstantial evidence, way beyond the ordinary, and when you add in the experiences of these brothers, I've got no doubt he was the killer. Let's not forget that a survivor from the Lake Berryessa side and Michael Mageau identified him as their attacker, among a ton of other things. A narcissist and an egomaniac with two faces. Hopefully, his guilt can finally be confirmed, because there's no one else who even comes close to him.

Zodiac is one of my favorite films of all time, and this doc adds a new compelling layer to it; a companion piece, sort of. Interviews include the real Robert Graysmith and footage of Arthur Leigh Allen and the people he hurt. It confirms how much attention to detail was put into the movie, and how important it was to some people who interacted with the main suspect. There is a lot of information I wasn't aware of and unlike most unsolved serial killer documentaries where they almost leave you wondering what the point of what you watched was, this one provides some semblance of closure. It's absolutely compelling and worth a watch.
