CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
yastepanov I don't doubt that Cameron believes All he says, but he seems to want to attribute far too many unsolved (and some solved) murders to one man. I could possibly believe Edwards could have murdered far more people than he admits to, but trying to make him the Zodiackiller and the killer of Jon Benet Ramsey AND Lacy Peterson AND list long litany of crimes nationwide just seems forced.I don't buy that just because there was some overlap with Edwards' MO and other killers is far from conclusive.
s401426 I liked idea of this and it is something worth looking at, but the main investigator is nuts. He uses terrible links and theories to connect murders. He didn't like his mom and she had dark hair so he killed dark haired women. It's a bit ridiculous. I bet he killed Marilyn Sheppard. She has dark hair and her husband was framed. Just that connection would make this guy be convinced it was Ed Edwards. He may be the Zodiac, but all those other major crimes are an extreme stretch.
dodiharry I believe, like Edward Wayne Edwards' daughter, April, that her father is the Zodiac Killer, and that he may have committed other crimes where he mimicked the Lipstick Murders of 1945 and 1946. He also may have been obsessed with the Black Dahlia murder, but he is not responsible for the Lipstick Murders or the Black Dahlia murder. If the crime involved cryptic notes or taunting the press, police or families with letters, then Edwards may have been the perpetrator. Or, in the least, he may have tried to frame innocent people for high profile crimes by misleading police with anonymous tips and letters.John Cameron's intentions are pure but his confirmation bias is clouding his judgement.I like both John and Wayne. Their relationship is compelling, and the series, "It Was Him," is very well produced.
mf2812 First of all, straight off the bat, I'd like to say I like John Cameron. I don't think he's in this for money or fame, but rather, through some sort of traumatisation. I remember him well from the episode "Misery" in "Real Detective", and in watching that, and seeing how committed to that case, the guy basically lost his family. This series (after episode 3) just gives off the vibes of a man with nothing left to do with his time but try and help others, even if he is usually more of a hindrance than a help.People don't want to talk to him as it's like they've heard rumours of a crazy man who thinks that the same person who done the Black Daliah murder was also The Zodiac AND killed JonBenet. And the sad thing is, he seems to be unintentionally sucking young Wayne into his crazy way of thinking and there is no person on the other side of these insane accusations who could spread some rational thinking on all of this.I'm interested to see where the remainder of the series goes, but really, for now, all I want is Wayne to be able to take a step back and have a serious think about all these bizarre suggestions, and for John to seek some help.
