Amateur movie with Big budget

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

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

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

2 years after watching Ulli Lommel's would-be adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Tomb," I started to watch this on Fearnet a few weeks ago just to see how much worse he could be at directing. I couldn't survive even 10 minutes of it, it was so bad. Let's get to my reasons:1. The Zodiac's low vocabulary. He kept calling some guy through one of his letters, "fat f**k." Talk about originality. Then there's when he calls the prostitute a bundle of female slurs (I don't remember them all) put into one big word.2. The Zodiac's voice. In most Zodiac-killer based movies, there's something ominous about his voice. And yet, this guy's voice is so calm.3. The opening title card and credits. Lommel CLEARLY has no knowledge on his favorite serial killer. ZK killed 5 people, not 12. And the opening credits with a bunch of photos of corpses were flashing across the screen. I think I was gonna have a seizure.4. His appearance. This movie's supposed to take place in 2004, right? Three decades and five years after the Zodiac's last victim. And apparently, he's a bald man in his 20's or 30's. Although his face was blurred like it was COPS or something (why not use the hood instead?), I could see that he was clearly too young to be the San Francisco Zodiac Killer. Then again, I didn't see the whole thing, so I could be wrong.5. As with The Tomb, the terrible lighting.I regret EVER finding out about Ulli and his terrible movies. Apparently, he found god or something, so I can only hope we won't ever be seeing his horror "movies" ever again.Oh, and like someone below said, anyone who rates this over a one is nuts.Score: -10/10 (I'd rate it that if it were possible)

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. A complete waste of time and money.When I rented this movie I was trying to rent Zodiac and ended up with this crap.It looks like a bad Indie Film. The dialog is horrible and so is the camera work.The movie is hard to tell it is about a true story. Its like someones bad dream after an acid trip. Very hard to watch. My husband and I turned off the movie after 30 min. Couldn't take another minute of it. NEVER WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!

Curse of the Zodiac (2007) is an updated/re-imagined version of the Zodiac murders that plagued the San Francisco Bay Area during the late 60's and mid 70's. While not as good as his other real horror genre, the movie is entertaining none the less. A mysterious psycho is taunting a useless detective whilst a poor lady relives the brutal and sadistic killings of a madman calling himself "The Zodiac". Can these two work together to stop this killer or will they wind up feeling his unrelenting fury? Why do people hate on Ulli Lommel? They talk about his bad directing skills (which is not true) and his films have horrific and ghastly murders. Well, murder is horrible and disgusting. That's the whole point of it. Herr Lommel loathes Hollywood's sanitized and glamorized views of murder on screen. They should be disgusting and stomach churning. No, you can not go out and have a few beers with your friends and make a movie with a $200 Camcorder and make a better film. It takes a lot of skill and talent (which he has) to make a decent movie. This is not the "worse movie ever made" either. I would rather watch some DTV film than some lame and overblown $150 million dollar one any day.Cheers,

I totally agree! This movie was garbage! One horrible detail is the fact that a lot of the scenes are shown at a 90 degree angle. The ground or floor is over on the right side of the screen. It is like a stupid camera man turned the camcorder to a verticle angle while recording, then when they were editing the film and saw that the image was on it's side, they just said "So what? It will be fine that way." It definitely does look like some 9th graders made it for a high school project - and did a horrible job. The acting is so fake and stupid. The plot is also very very very boring. This is seriously the worst movie I have ever seen! They also say the F word a lot more than any other movie. The killer says "...you fat F***" or similar things hundreds of times. One last point, the gore... when the Zodiac kills a person, they always show a disgusting view of the dead body with a lot of blood. They show things like the person's brains blown out onto the pavement next to her head or the killer sticks his fingers in the bullet holes in the persons head and plays with it! Gross!
