Curse of the Zodiac (2007)

Purely Joyful Movie!

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

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!

2 years after watching Ulli Lommel's would-be adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Tomb," I started to watch this on Fearnet a few weeks ago just to see how much worse he could be at directing. I couldn't survive even 10 minutes of it, it was so bad. Let's get to my reasons:1. The Zodiac's low vocabulary. He kept calling some guy through one of his letters, "fat f**k." Talk about originality. Then there's when he calls the prostitute a bundle of female slurs (I don't remember them all) put into one big word.2. The Zodiac's voice. In most Zodiac-killer based movies, there's something ominous about his voice. And yet, this guy's voice is so calm.3. The opening title card and credits. Lommel CLEARLY has no knowledge on his favorite serial killer. ZK killed 5 people, not 12. And the opening credits with a bunch of photos of corpses were flashing across the screen. I think I was gonna have a seizure.4. His appearance. This movie's supposed to take place in 2004, right? Three decades and five years after the Zodiac's last victim. And apparently, he's a bald man in his 20's or 30's. Although his face was blurred like it was COPS or something (why not use the hood instead?), I could see that he was clearly too young to be the San Francisco Zodiac Killer. Then again, I didn't see the whole thing, so I could be wrong.5. As with The Tomb, the terrible lighting.I regret EVER finding out about Ulli and his terrible movies. Apparently, he found god or something, so I can only hope we won't ever be seeing his horror "movies" ever again.Oh, and like someone below said, anyone who rates this over a one is nuts.Score: -10/10 (I'd rate it that if it were possible)

Roughly one month ago today, I decided to watch a film by the name of "Curse of the Zodiac". Little did I know, I would be making the biggest mistake of my life... The title of the "movie" pretty much sums everything up in itself. I felt cursed for every painstaking second I spent watching this disgraceful, feces encrusted, piece of trash. Words simply cannot explain how terrible this movie is. Let's put it this way; if "Curse of the Zodiac" were to be handed in as an elementary school drama assignment, it would get roughly 0%. I didn't understand a single thing that was going on, probably because most of the shots were upside down, sideways or blurred... Not to mention that I wanted to puke every time I heard "The Man With the Blurred Face" (or I presume, The Zodiac) say, "You fat f*ck". As I mentioned earlier, the director, if there even was one, failed miserably with his horrid use of sideways/upside down shots, and choice of scenery. At one point, you see a roughly 15 year old girl acting poorly, trying to talk to her (estimated) 30 year old husband about how his day went by candle light in the middle of the day (or I presume the middle of the day based on the fact THAT YOU CAN SEE LIGHT COMING FROM THEIR CLOSED BLINDS). The truly astounding part about this scene is the fact that you can see the girl reading her lines, which she placed on the table in front of her! This scene sets the tone of the film, and sets the bar very low for future kindergarten drop outs that aspire to become directors, and hobos with cameras. I only watched 10 minutes of this monstrosity, and I am still suffering deeply from the after effects of this failed, horror-porno. In conclusion, I have come to realize that watching this movie is like getting tarred and feathered: it's embarrassing, painful, and leaves permanent mental, and physical scars. I still have to attend "CotZ Anonymous" meetings to forget those dreadful 10 minutes, and would like to take this opportunity to warn ANYONE who ever even thinks about watching this film, not to do so. Please, I don't want anyone to end up in as much pain as I did. Best of luck,The Curse of the Zodiac Warner.

The Curse of the Zodiac-- Curse words are all he knows, the monologue surpasses the number of times the "F" word was used in Goodfella's in the first five minutes.I thought this movie would be more interesting, I wish I would have read the reviews on this site before renting. I've seen some pretty bad movies but none worse than this one so far. I don't think it's ever going to end. You would think that the premonitions would come at least once before the murder not all of them during the murders. Drugs, prostitutes, and hippies and I still haven't heard one decent line of dialogue. The film work reminds me of Blair Witch.This is definitely one sad excuse for a film.
