Whose idea was it to let Ulli Lommel make serial killer movies? His movies offer little information about the events that happened, lack character, character development, and are generally tasteless. His portrayal of killers are very one dimensional with over-usage of swear words. He also offers little insight to what people and cities were going through. And while we never really found out who the real Zodiac was, he was not bald with decodable symbol tattoos on his neck. Another criticism, the setting is too modern. In general, his movies do a bad job of bringing you back in time, which is somewhat insulting to his own age and experience. I don't feel like putting as much effort in this review as Ulli puts into his movies (not much), but he really should just stop.

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.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. A complete waste of time and money.When I rented this movie I was trying to rent Zodiac and ended up with this crap.It looks like a bad Indie Film. The dialog is horrible and so is the camera work.The movie is hard to tell it is about a true story. Its like someones bad dream after an acid trip. Very hard to watch. My husband and I turned off the movie after 30 min. Couldn't take another minute of it. NEVER WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!

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.
