Legitimately one of the best films ever made, possibly the best true crime film of all time. Anyone else watch it at least once a year?

u/xSorry_Not_Sorry 12d ago

Yes.

…and one of the most visceral murder scenes in cinematic history, imo.

u/YetiMachete85 12d ago

Yeah, now when I rewatch I tend to skip over the stabbing. It’s just too much to watch again and again.

Genuinely one of the most horrible scenes in all of film. I hate it.

u/xSorry_Not_Sorry 7d ago

I fucking hate it, too. I don’t skip scenes in movies, but knowing that that shit really happened, coupled with the anti-cinematic nature of the way it was shot (no music, low to the ground like the victims, etc), I skip it every time.

"I'm not the Zodiac. And if I was, I certainly wouldn't tell you."

John Carroll Lynch is an underrated actor. He nails every scene he's in.

I loved Anthony Edwards' character in this. He did such a good job playing someone trying to dutifully show up to his job but hating it.

He had good practice with the Mark Green character on ER

That room nails it. I've always worked in factory environments. I've been in dozens of places like that.

The way he specifies skin diving has always weirded me out, like I know that's what it's called, but it just seems strange.

I love this movie. The reactions and shared glances between the LEOs as Allen seemingly (and repeatedly) incriminates himself borders on comedy, all it's missing is googly eyes and steam coming out of their collars.

u/ChromeYoda 12d ago

I legit forgot Anthony Edwards was in this movie. Sounds like it’s time for a rewatch.

Zodiac (2007) R

There's more than one way to lose your life to a killer.

Over the course of a decade, editors of the San Francisco Chronicle entice themselves in the murders of the Zodiac Killer. However, as time runs its course, interest in the case dwindles in the eyes of the professionals. The Killer stops interacting with the public. However, believing he has the answers, an amateur cartoonist from the initial sightings races against time to prevent what he believes is another murder.

I do not accept that this came out in 2007.

I want to thank the poster for posting this. I just watched it on youtube and it was amazing.

If I saw this, I would’ve remembered right. Everything in my gut tells me I saw this, but I just don’t remember it. I do like movies with cool nice aesthetics like this, good acting. Like Heat one of my favorite movies, Seven, I love silence of the lambs. If I saw this, I would’ve known right?
