Who was the Zodiac? Was he an evil genius who planned his murders to create a coded pattern of numbers and angles? Or was he the stereotype of the serial killer we see in books and movies?..  The killing suddenly stopped in the mid 1970’s – is he still out there somewhere… Lawrence Block, Edgar Award-winning author and best-selling crime fiction writer, proposes a new and interesting twist to the case of the Zodiac…

“This documentary combines recreations of the actual murders (very well done and not overly-sensationalized), along with relevant commentary from police officials, investigators and researchers… The presentation sticks to the case’s basic facts and paints a picture of an exceptionally cold-hearted killer whose propensity for violence was surpassed only by his incredible ability to play the media and to constantly adapt and evolve, a tactic that allowed him to stay several steps ahead of the police at all times… Included are examples of the correspondence that the Zodiac killer sent to San Francisco Bay area newspapers and a discussion of how one of the killer’s many cryptograms was finally deciphered..” IMDB
