Curse of the Zodiac - La maledizione dello Zodiaco

This movie looks like it was shot by a bunch of film school students. I can say this because I was a film student and the crap I churned out looked very similar, though I would hope my stuff had a bit more entertainment value.

Turned it off after less than 10 minutes. Probably less than 5. Lucky for me, though, as I got this free from the library - I know there are many more people out there who weren't so fortunate.

If you've got a consumer video camera, which is what this movie looks like it was shot on, shoot a video of a dog taking a crap and then watch that; you'll be more entertained, and there will be much more creativity.

This film has no factual basis whatsoever.

If you are intending to see this movie as an intro to what actually happened, forget it.

The film does not depict what actually happened. The actual victims and actual case is not even remotely depicted and the 'killer's' voice-over during the film has nothing to do with anything the actual killer said.

Apparently the people who made this film did not listen to the technical advisers they had access to.

The actual murderer used the term "fat as*es" in one letter one time.

The SFPD did NOT close the case as the movie 'stated' as fact in 2004, they have put it in an "inactive" status. It is not the same thing. That is just the beginning of the lies this film spews.

This movie is a waste of time, money, effort and film.

Roughly one month ago today, I decided to watch a film by the name of "Curse of the Zodiac". Little did I know, I would be making the biggest mistake of my life...

The title of the "movie" pretty much sums everything up in itself. I felt cursed for every painstaking second I spent watching this disgraceful, feces encrusted, piece of trash. Words simply cannot explain how terrible this movie is. Let's put it this way; if "Curse of the Zodiac" were to be handed in as an elementary school drama assignment, it would get roughly 0%. I didn't understand a single thing that was going on, probably because most of the shots were upside down, sideways or blurred... Not to mention that I wanted to puke every time I heard "The Man With the Blurred Face" (or I presume, The Zodiac) say, "You fat f*ck". As I mentioned earlier, the director, if there even was one, failed miserably with his horrid use of sideways/upside down shots, and choice of scenery. At one point, you see a roughly 15 year old girl acting poorly, trying to talk to her (estimated) 30 year old husband about how his day went by candle light in the middle of the day (or I presume the middle of the day based on the fact THAT YOU CAN SEE LIGHT COMING FROM THEIR CLOSED BLINDS). The truly astounding part about this scene is the fact that you can see the girl reading her lines, which she placed on the table in front of her! This scene sets the tone of the film, and sets the bar very low for future kindergarten drop outs that aspire to become directors, and hobos with cameras. I only watched 10 minutes of this monstrosity, and I am still suffering deeply from the after effects of this failed, horror-porno.

In conclusion, I have come to realize that watching this movie is like getting tarred and feathered: it's embarrassing, painful, and leaves permanent mental, and physical scars. I still have to attend "CotZ Anonymous" meetings to forget those dreadful 10 minutes, and would like to take this opportunity to warn ANYONE who ever even thinks about watching this film, not to do so. Please, I don't want anyone to end up in as much pain as I did.

Best of luck,

The Curse of the Zodiac Warner.

Well, I was warned by the saleslady at the video store that this movie was horrible, but I ignored her and rented it anyway. The Zodiak killer has always fascinated me, especially since the guy was never caught.

However, it only took 10 minutes for me to see what a piece of crap this movie is, just a low-budget, poorly-acted, ridiculously-profane and pretentious filmed. Half of the shots are sideways! I guess the filmmaker was trying to be inventive but you had to turn your head sideways to watch a good part of the film! How stupid is that?

There is nothing appealing about this, unless you like to hear the phrase "you fat f--k!" every other sentence. This is straight-to-video garbage, folks. The best thing about it is the cover of the DVD. No wonder there are no reviews in here concerning this film. They fact they couldn't find reviewers anywhere to put a testimony on the back of the DVD box should have warned me to stay away.

I have seen a lot of bad movies in my day but this has to be one of the worst. There was actually parts of the movie I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Which is okay except this movie was not meant to be a comedy. The acting is down right terrible, the lighting and camera work have the feel of a porn movie, and the movie tries to have a whole trippy feeling to it that just comes across annoying. The main plot behind this movie is a young women has nightmares(while awake) that sees the Zodiac killer in action. Thats pretty much it. The Zodiac killer may have been real but this movie is based on no actual facts. He seems like he likes to kill women who just broke up with their boyfriends. The Jake Gyllenhaal part from a much better Zodaic movie is played by a guy who looks like Newman from Seinfield only on coke. If you want a good laugh and your high you might enjoy this movie otherwise stay away.
