Disappointed in the video. Seemed to have only a tangential reference to the Zodiac Killer and emphasis on a copycat killer. Of course, that's the point of the movie, but it was all too often plodding, poorly acted, and rife with stock footage. Enough so that I lost most interest in the story. Even lulled me to sleep a couple of times. Aspects that might turn other viewers off include the fact that it felt like a first-time, shot-on-video project even though it was by an experienced (and previously acclaimed) filmmaker. The narrative was bad too. The main character voiced over the narrative through much of the film - and it sounded as if it were being read for the first time with the mic too close to his mouth. Maybe it was meant to sound like the (copycat) killer speaking his thoughts into a cheap tape recorder or recording some sort of diary, but I didn't get the feel that I was actually seeing into the mind of Mr. Copycat since it felt so poorly executed. Needless to say, I chose not to keep this in my DVD collection.Read full review
The fascinating history of the infamous Zodiac Killer becomes a deadly obsession for a susceptible young man who sinks into madness. After reading a book about the notorious murderer who tormented Los Angeles during the '60s, striking at random and finally disappearing without a trace, Michael begins a string of copycat murders. Mel Navokov (David Hess, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT) is a forensic psychologist who joins forces with Simon Vale (Ulli Lommel, the director of BOOGEYMAN) the author of the book that inspired the killer, to stop him before he strikes again. For those familiar with the notoriously uneven Lommel, who worked on the sets of some of Fassbinder's films, this is one of his B-movie efforts. An OK movie. Not much to say. Might watch it again for a better review.... {Mrs puman}
this movie sucked bigtime, when i rented it, i thought i was going to see a movie about the zodiac killer, this was a retarded movie that looked like it was filmed by a porno movie film crew during some down time......... really crappy storyline, crappy film work........ had virtually nothing to do with the zodiac murders other than the title.
can't believe people are this mentally sick
