Though decades have passed since the multiple murderer held the state of California hostage with fear, the mystery of the identity of the Zodiac killer has never been solved.Though decades have passed since the multiple murderer held the state of California hostage with fear, the mystery of the identity of the Zodiac killer has never been solved.Though decades have passed since the multiple murderer held the state of California hostage with fear, the mystery of the identity of the Zodiac killer has never been solved.

This has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. The only reason to watch it to the end is to see if there is going to be a scene worth watching. The camera work is absolutely terrible. No acting. I have yet to see any entertainment value at all.
The only thing good about the movie is that its much shorter than most movies.
DO NOT CONFUSE THIS MOVIE WITH OTHER ZODIAC MOVIES you will waste your time and movie. If you get a copy as a free gift, find something useful for the disk, hang from the rear view mirror, use for fishing just don't watch it

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.

The Curse of the Zodiac-- Curse words are all he knows, the monologue surpasses the number of times the "F" word was used in Goodfella's in the first five minutes.
I thought this movie would be more interesting, I wish I would have read the reviews on this site before renting. I've seen some pretty bad movies but none worse than this one so far. I don't think it's ever going to end. You would think that the premonitions would come at least once before the murder not all of them during the murders. Drugs, prostitutes, and hippies and I still haven't heard one decent line of dialogue.
The film work reminds me of Blair Witch.
This is definitely one sad excuse for a 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.

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.
