David Fincher “The Zodiac”

Posted on 2007 under Horror, Thrillers

David Finchers rendention of the Robert Graysmith books about the real life notorious Zodiac, a serial killer who terrorized San Francisco with a string of seemingly random murders during the 1960s and 1970s is chilling to say the least. The story line moves very fast with no let up. Scene after scene builds on the last as David Fincher build the suspense of what could have happened and what should have happened. I loved this movie but I have to admit I am not so much the horror type. So, some of the scenes really touched me, some to the point that I had to look away. But I loved the way the main characters constructed a case till the point they got to sit down and look the so called killer right in the eye.

Throughout the movie Robert Graysmith played by Jake Gyllenhaal becomes obsessed with find out who is behind all letters, the voices and mystery of the zodiac. He get so obsessed that he alienates his family and eventually sacrifices his love wife to continue looking for the zodiac. Robert Graysmith is on a mission. Not only is he researching for his book but also he is trying to crack the case when everyone else has forgotten about the case and wrote it off. Robert tracks down every lead that he can find with a little help from Inspector David Toschi played by Mark Ruffalo.

This movie is not for the faint in heart. It keeps you on the edge of your seat continuously guessing as to what is missing. What is everyone not see and how could they find it. This film also touches on the psychic of a serial killer that has not been caught. This one fact make this film even more creepy. Don’t let your children or young teenagers take a look at this movie. This is defiantly an adult movie for mature adults. If you’re an adult and you like suspenseful movies this one is for you.
