When the teen couple were tied up and stabbed..


That scene was so stupid.

GIRL: "Oh shoot, there's someone over there, maybe we should stop making out and move on?"

BOY: "The guy with the bag over his head and the big knive? Nah, I'm sure it'll be fine.. now where were we?"

Dumbass crackers.

Even though thats not how it went down at all, people back them had never heard or experienced horrific crimes such as Zodiac. Now, you have your guard but back then, it was very different.

Yeah, whatever you say, Old Man Jackson..

Yeah. .

Donut the Frog may bitch about how Bryan and Cecelia acted when confronted by Zodiac, but that was what happened in real life.

How do you know?! Are you Zodiac?!?

Only if they were completely and utterly oblivious to the media attention it was given through out the film. I mean even if they weren't even from the area at all they had to of heard of the killings.


If I want your OPINION - I'll give it to YA!! LOL

It's a fact that Bryan and Cecelia didn't know it was Zodiac when confronted by him at Berryessa - they thought he was just some weirdzo robber.

reply

Actually, in real life, the Lake Berryessa killing was still a fairly recent event. The Zodiac only *really* became feared and prominent in the local media after (1) he shot a cabbie in San Francisco, leaving the then rural North Bay, and (2) he started to threaten schoolchildren coming off school buses (which inspired the screenwriters in a later film, "Dirty Harry")

Gotta love that Scorpio killer.

According to the book, they kids DID see someone off in the distance but being teenagers they figured nothing bad could happen to them.

Let's face it, even if they got up & left as soon as they noticed someone else was around, Zodiac most likely would have chased them. They weren't very close to their car so they were pretty much sitting ducks out there all alone with a maniac.

reply

Fair enough, I suppose. I was taking the pish out of the way the film portrayed it, rather than the actual event itself.

Funnily enough, I've just got the new-er Zodiac in from Lovefilm!

reply

In fact that's the best moment of the movie, when you see the killer approaching in the distance. You can't see that in any horror movie! Very creepy.

reply

Actually I thought seeing the killer in the background was really the creepiest thing I'd seen in a movie in a while.

It was like the scene in the "The Strangers", where the killer is seen in the background, was stolen from it.

I love the fact that I am still getting replies to this thread almost 4 years down the line!

LOL Weird isn't it?!

I agree as soon as he his behind the tree I would've been up & on my feet going WTF
