Good start, but then it gets ruined

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

"Genre guru" Ulli Lommel directs this horror film about the infamous Zodiac killer. Though decades have passed since the multiple murderer held the state of California hostage with fear, the mystery of his identity has never been solved.Typically the number 3566 does not signify any special landmark. However, as this is the 3,566th review I have written, it is an honor (albeit a dubious one) that I can finally designate a film the worst film ever made. Without hyperbole or exaggeration, this is truly the worst film ever constructed. No surprise it comes from Ulli Lommel (who wrote, directed, produced, scored and shot it). His catalog of films is pretty terrible, top to bottom.The film is so bad I hardly feel the need to justify my saying it is bad. The acting? Meh. The camera work? Dizzying and atrocious. Five minutes into this and ritual seppuku seemed like a good idea. The previous contender for worst film ever, "Hell's Threshold", now seems rather tame and fun.If there is anything nice to say, it seems that Lommel made a solid effort in trying to make the film look like it was shot in San Francisco. I mean, you know, throw in a gratuitous stock image of the Golden Gate Bridge every few minutes and where else could you be?

OK guys this is where I draw the line at absolute crap movies. This movie doesn't even deserve a rating of 1. I like almost every horror movie too but this I can't even give the storyline because I don't even think there is one. The lighting the screenplay and everything else about this movie just stinks. I can't believe someone would actually release this garbage in stores like seriously. I'm not even picky about horror movies at all and usually the cheesier the better but this is just downright awful garbage poop. Don't even waste your time renting it because you'll regret even outing this movie in the DVD player. This was only 2 bucks and I'm not getting rid of it because I'm a collector but if you're not and you see this in the store. Take a poop on it and flush it down the stinking toilet because that's where it belongs. I'll be writing other reviews so piece out for now!

Ulli Lommel's reputation as a writer/directer definitely isn't enhanced with this waste of time. A Zodiac ripoff; cheaply made with horrid acting and sloppy nerve wrecking cinematography. Supposedly based on the serial killer that terrorized northern California during the sixties and seventies. The use of cryptic symbols held the police and media at bay bringing much attention to the Zodiac killer, especially since his identity is still unknown. There is obvious proof of no honest research and it doesn't take too long into the movie before you realize it is obnoxious, profane and disrespectful of the viewer's intelligence. Like toilet tissue...disposable. Then there is the nauseating voice of the Zodiac, Rick Van Cleef. Brave souls claiming to act: Cassandra Church, Jack Quinn, Victoria Ullman, Colette Claire and Lee Mercer.

Well, I was warned by the saleslady at the video store that this movie was horrible, but I ignored her and rented it anyway. The Zodiak killer has always fascinated me, especially since the guy was never caught.However, it only took 10 minutes for me to see what a piece of crap this movie is, just a low-budget, poorly-acted, ridiculously-profane and pretentious filmed. Half of the shots are sideways! I guess the filmmaker was trying to be inventive but you had to turn your head sideways to watch a good part of the film! How stupid is that? There is nothing appealing about this, unless you like to hear the phrase "you fat f--k!" every other sentence. This is straight-to-video garbage, folks. The best thing about it is the cover of the DVD. No wonder there are no reviews in here concerning this film. They fact they couldn't find reviewers anywhere to put a testimony on the back of the DVD box should have warned me to stay away.
