Looking online for DVD's to pick up in the run up to Halloween,I decided to check what releases from DVD company Something Weird were around. Having heard about the company putting out this film ages ago,I was pleased to find it at a good price,leading me to discover that this is Zodiac.
View on the film:
Taking the grime off the street and into the Grindhouse as the real Zodiac was still active, director Tom Hanson circles a grubby atmosphere, as the illegal filming in outdoor locations gives the title a fittingly murky atmosphere, with Hanson being surprisingly restrained on skin being shown, but smashing the camera into quick-fire zoom-ins on Zodiac's latest attack.
Opening the case with a introduction written for the film by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Paul Avery, the screenplay by Manny Cardoza & Ray Cantrell note down the real murders of Zodiac,which they quickly depart from for dry proto-Slasher vile,which along with unmasking the killer in a tension-free mystery,also add additional murders to the real killings of the Zodiac.
