Watch The Zodiac Killer For Free

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Absolutely Fantastic

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Zodiac killer follows Jerry (Hal Reed), a mailman who seems to be a nice guy when in public, however when he is in his basement worshiping Satan we see a different side to him. Grover (Bob Jones) is a playboy wannabe truck driver who is divorce. His controlling ex- wife does not allow him to see their daughter. This angers Grover who pulls a gun oh his wife and takes his daughter hostage. This leads to Grover being shot to death by the police. After that we pretty much just follow Jerry (aka The Zodiac) around as he kills multiple people with weapons such as car hoods, a spare tire, a pistol and others. It's pretty cool, although sometimes laughable. The story behind this film is quite intriguing. Director Tom Hansen made the film in an attempt to catch the real Zodiac Killer by having the audience fill out cards with the question "why do you think the Zodiac kills?" Allegedly Hansen ran into the real killer in the theater bathroom. Don't go into this expecting Taxi Driver or Henry: portrait of a serial killer. If you choose to view it, I advise you watch it for what it is a corny exploration classic which has one thing going for it. It could be Me or You or our neighbors. Are you Zodiac???

No-budget creeper about the real-life Zodiac killer who stalked California in the late '60s. It's got some grit, I'll give it that, but it's all just so cheap, slow, and dull that I couldn't enjoy it. The "acting" is terrible and the picture quality reminds me of the opening to The Wonder Years. There are some moments of unintended comedy, which I usually recommend in a movie's favor when all else fails, but this is such a chore to get through that I don't think there are enough of those moments to justify it. If you're really into the Zodiac case or if you like to try any and all horror cheapies, then give it a look. Otherwise don't bother.

The Zodiac Killer (1971) ** (out of 4) San Francisco finds itself under attack due to a string of murders where people are shot for no apparent reason. The film introduces us to a "what if" scenario as we meet several people who may or may not be the serial killer.It's important to remember that when THE ZODIAC KILLER was released, the city itself was still under terror from the real thing. Obviously this has exploitation written all over it but one might be shocked that director Tom Hanson doesn't go over-the-top with the sleaze and instead it tries to take a serious approach on the subject. On the whole this isn't the best movie ever made but it features enough to make it worth viewing for fans of the genre.What I enjoy most about the film is that it perfectly captures the time that it is set. There have been a lot of movies that tackled the subject but this here is the only one that takes place where the crimes happened. There's a surreal nature to the film that works extremely well and I thought the atmosphere was quite good. You really do feel as if you're watching a documentary on the real Zodiac because of how good the setting is. The film also benefits from some memorable death scenes. None of them, with the exception of a knife attack, are all that graphic but at the same time they are memorable.With that said, there are some major flaws throughout the picture. The biggest is the fact that the film really drags at 85-minutes. The pacing of the movie is quite poor and it just drags to the point where you'll be wanting to scream for them to speed things up. The performances are also rather poor to say the least and some of the dialogue is even worse. One could also argue that the film doesn't have the greatest of stories but at the same time you have to give them credit for making a film in hopes of catching a real killer!

Knowing the Producer and some cast members, you all likely did not know the main reason the Movie was made was to try and catch the Zodiak. There was a whole lot going on behind the scenes to scheme a plan where the Zodiak would come to see a Movie about himself. If he came, and was discovered, eventually arrested, The Movie Caught the Killer. So despite the poor reviews,what a thrill it would have been! Had a Movie caught a Killer, more folks would see it. Leading to more Movie productions. There could have been a Movie made about the methods developed to "catch" The Zodiak. Would you go see a film which led to the arrest of a Killer?
