zodiac killer ( 2005 ) be an interesting film from german bear director ulli lommel . he direct and produce and co star in this late production . not only do he manage to make an interesting film on the cheap . but he reach a new low when herr lommel work in footage from nearly his entire film catalog . i have see film clip from boogeyman i and ii and war bird and tenderness of the wolf and brain wave and cocaine cowboy ( even andy warhol make a cameo from beyond the grave courtesy of this film ) . even though he use plenty of old footage and he work them in well ( and very creatively might i add ) . the film follow a young man who copy the original zodiac killer . he also correspond with a writer ( ulli lommel ) who originally write about the serial killer during the late sixty and early seventy . the writer friend ( david hess ) help him to try and find this wannabe zodiac . can this killer be stop . will the writer put two and two together and reclaim some of his old glory . be david hess still the man . you will have to find out for yourself and watch the zodiac killer . this film be not about the original zodiac killer . i have also hear people whine about this film be shoot on video . so what . the director old school artistic style outshine the fact that it shoot on video . my only complaint be the over use of stock footage from herr lommel earlier film ( but i understand why wink wink . ) don not believe the hype . this be a gritty and street level horror film . like the disclaimer in the beginning state and this film do nor glorify murder . you get to like that statement . highly recommend for ulli lommel fan .
