LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

younngl It's evident within the first 10 minutes that there is nothing that represents decent filmmaking in this movie. The characters and the story are badly written, the cinematography is terrible and I was extremely shocked to find out that this was made in 2008, it looks more like a television show in the 1970's. The editing was horrific, along with the effects. It appears the people who made this were 10 year olds using every possible effect simply because it's cool with no real reason to enhance the story.I get Berkowitz was a nutcase, but it appeared that him and several other characters where bi-polar and showed specific emotions at certain times just because it was convenient at the time. Run far far away from this movie. I wouldn't be surprised if David Berkowitz sued these people for defamation of character.

grteacher922 ...this movie is so horrible David Berkowitz should sue Ulli Lammel for using his story without permission. Satan himself should sue Lammel for damaging his reputation. Avoid this movie! I'm sorry I added it to my collection. Just how bad can this be? The neighbors talking dog turned in the best performance. I watched Woods of Evil AND Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters, this was worse than WOODS but not quite as insufferable as HUNTERS. I believe if Berkowitz had known this movie would be made he would do things differently. This is so horrible it couldn't even win a Razzie for BAD films. The movie had a budget of like $2k and it shows. Just please, friends won't let friends watch this movie.

SuperCatMonkey I'm not usually given to hyperbole, nor have I ever felt compelled to write a movie review before. After watching this steaming pile, however, I'm actually angry enough to pan it out loud. My daughter and I loved Zodiac, and picked this strictly based on the title. Don't repeat my error. Direct-to-video porn productions are made with more care than this "movie." It looks like it was shot on a Flip video recorder, the dialog consists of endless chanting and repetition of phrases (I'm not making this up - it's extraordinarily annoying!), and the storyline is lame lame lame, even though it's supposedly based on a true story. There wasn't a shred of effort to make it look like the '70s. It calls itself a "horror" movie. It's horrible, alright. My next step is to complain to the cable company for putting this on pay-per-view - I wasted my free coupon on it. Caveat emptor!! I should have looked on IMDb first.Update: The cable company gave me another free movie - they felt guilty for showing this!Spoiler: The only reason to sit through the whole thing is the hope that the chick in the Satanic cult (or maybe the lawyer chick) will get naked. This never happens, so don't waste your time.

rocknrico This movie portrays the story of David Berkowitz in a dreamlike nature complete with haunting voices, star lens effects and twisting camera work going in and out of color/focus.Save yourself some time and just watch the first 20 minutes of this train wreck of a movie. Everything else is simply a repeat, both in style and form as they go from one murder to another. There must have been 10 shots of David just staring into the NY skyline experiencing schizophrenia which all appeared to be shot on the same day. Fortunately, nothing is graphic or too bloody and the murders are implied. From wooden acting to Karo syrup blood effects, the film is amateurish.Lastly, you would think that someone would at least run some of the text through a spell checker as the concluding text contained typos.
