Zodiac Killer
-
£29.00
This
is the only horror movie in history that was made explicitly to catch a
serial killer. Directed by Tom Hanson, who had previously owned a chain
of Pizza Man restaurants, THE ZODIAC KILLER reimagines the crimes of
the then-active Zodiac Killer in hopes of luring the madman out of
hiding. That plan didn’t work. Instead, we got the most outrageous and
compelling "tabloid horror" vortex on the planet. And beyond. During
theatrical screenings, Hanson constructed in-theater traps to catch the
killer. These included the use of an ice cream freezer filled with
rent-a-cops and a raffle with a motorcycle as a prize. You won’t get
insight like this by watching David Fincher's ZODIAC. But you will get
it while watching THE ZODIAC KILLER.
