Agreed - what I really liked about it is that, while there are a couple graphic, violent scenes, the movie does not go overboard on that aspect yet remains chilling nonetheless. |

I saw it at the cinema and enjoyed it. It's not really a Saturday night movie though. Too serious.

I too saw it at the theater & I liked it but there's also a movie called "THE Zodiac" which wasn't nearly as good but it did make everything too familiar for me. I recall hearing about some Cali Crazy called the Zodiac Killer but I had forgotten about him over the next 3 decades. California has had a tremendous # of psycho killers questque c'est... |

Superb film! I was born in '69 right around the time the Zodiac was making news, so I don't remember much  But this recent film had me seeking out everything I could on Wikipedia, etc. There are still about three unsolved ciphers (one is that curious oriental-looking glyph at the end of the "Exorcist/Mikado" letter.
Do a search on the Zodiac letters--there are some fascinating findings and theories posted, even tables to try out one's own code-breaking. (Perhaps there are no solutions to the remaining ciphers!) Kind of funny that a California teacher and his wife beat out experts to solve the first cipher while reading the paper over morning coffee.
I can't believe the authorities botched a chance for a line up ID of the lead suspect with one of the survivors!
Also, what a case study of all the nut jobs that will come forward with copycat actions and claims.
Melvin posts on here, you know?

I, too, loved the movie, I was 16 in '69, I heard about it, but I think Charles Manson & his killers got most of the press, with today's DNA that person would certainly get caught, nobody get's away with anything these days. |

I've yet to see the movie, and, so, cannot attest as to the veracity of its depiction of me. |

It was a good movie. The only problem with it is that source material is deeply, deeply flawed. Odds are that Arthur Leigh Allen wasn't the Zodiac, but more like a John Mark Carr character who loved the attention, to a point. When people started realizing that the guy in Robert Graysmith's book was Allen, he stopped liking it. |

Actually, I was reading at a crime site the otehr day & there are tons of people getting away with murder still. Some people are extremely successful at getting rid of bodies & leaving no witnesses behind. |

Brian Cox did a nice job in Zodiac, but not as good as that guy who played you in Gimme Shelter.

Owning a woodchipper is also helpful. |

loved it -
it was filmed like a mystery..
and i also loved the way the movie it looked.
the period was captured perfectly - with the cigarette machines and dingy diners. |
