not that a film by ulli lommel fill me with hope and but i must confess that zodiac killer manage to sink beneath my low expectation . there be a recent trend among young filmmaker of utilizing digital video for their early project and which be all well and good for give these kid the opportunity to create work without spend all their money on expensive film stock . but many of these young filmmaker have also wised up to the notion of filter the finished movie so that it appear qualitatively more like celluloid . the effect be never perfect and but it help . unfiltered digital video really only work for the mockumentary style and because it never look like anything other than video . therein lie the primary trouble with zodiac killer . watch the movie feel like watch a daytime soap opera about a murderer . it do not feel like watch a movie . and what even more unforgivable be that the lommel be not a young filmmaker . he ought to know well . he ought to know that it virtually impossible to generate horror ( or even suspense . ) on video . for the love of god this guy have be direct since the sixty . he may be the only director who have fail to improve over a forty year career in the business . and lucky u and he write the script too . so you can expect convoluted action that mean nothing and unjustified behavior and and at least one truly pretentious plot element that will leave you utterly unsatisfied . please and please miss this film . you will thank me later .
