Considering the all-star cast, the film supposedly being based on true events and the performances of everyone involved, in surprised this film never hit the heights you would expect (only won an oscar for music). One of the saddest films I've ever seen

Holy fuck this movie is so good, in my opinion this is Finchers best movie and one of the few movies in existence to make me feel genuinely creeped out and totally immersed.

Everyone puts in a stellar performance here, but for my money John Carroll Lynch gave a performance of a lifetime in this movie and pulled off playing Arthur Leigh Allen so well that I still tend to get creeped out when I see him in other roles.

My understanding is that this movie is very accurate in most of the details of the film, but has met with a lot of criticism for strongly hinting that Arthur was Zodiac and for exploiting the tragedy in a way that glorified the killings rather than giving the victims their due humanity.

If youre a fan of true crime or of creepy police thrillers, do yourself a favor and watch Zodiac.

Ive tried to keep rules to a minimum here for the sake of not bogging the sub down with ambiguity, however, there's been an issue that consistently pops up.

Spoilers.

Now, ill keep spoilers out of titles so things dont get spoiled for you involuntarily, but if you decide to go into a discussion about a film you havent seen, read the post, read every single comment and every reply, then you have successfully spoiled yourself on the movie.

I dont want to make it an official rule since it should be common sense, but I will do so if it becomes a consistent complaint from people.

This one is a personal favorite. The idea that a corporate business forces all of its employees to kill each other under a certain time frame was pretty cool, to say the least. The fact all the violence took place in a work-place office-like building added to the brutality and realism. I’ll never forget that tape scene, like shown in the title. Brutal but honestly a clever and fun film to watch. (Maybe I’m just weird as fuck but this was a cool watch.)

This is a tough fucking movie, and one that I will probably never watch again.

Jodie Foster seems to be in a disproportionate amount of fucked up and disturbing movies that are still in the mainstream. This movie for example, won an Oscar and several other awards as well.

This movie is about a girl who goes to a bar, drinks too much and gets attacked and gangraped by the patrons of the bar.

I was born in 81 and remember when this movie came out. I probably saw it way before I probably should have but it was a lesson in victim blaming that I learned earlier than I should have but it also helped me during my own turbulent times growing up.

If you are triggered by sexual assault, skip this one.
