Coming to Blu-ray on July 25th from the American Genre Film Archive, a non-profit dedicated to preserving the legacy of genre films, is Tom Hanson’s The Zodiac Killer, which follows the director’s attempt to capture the real-life serial killer. Alas, the plan did not work but the resulting film is a fascinating dive into that era and the terror that gripped a community.
Today, we’ve got an exclusive clip from the film that you can see below.
You can pre-order the film from Amazon or through MVD.
Synopsis:
Directed by Tom Hanson, who had previously owned a chain of Pizza Man restaurants, THE ZODIAC KILLER was made to capture the real-life Zodiac Killer. That plan didn’t work. Instead, we got the most outrageous and compelling “tabloid horror” vortex in the history of planet Earth. And beyond. During theatrical screenings, Hanson constructed in-theater “traps” to lure the killer from hiding. 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 a David Fincher movie. But you will get it while watching THE ZODIAC KILLER.
