Zodiac (film)/YMMV

These things about Zodiac (film) are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

• Complete Monster:
  • Arthur Leigh Allen. Whether-or-not he's the Zodiac, he's still portrayed as a creepy scumbag.
  • The Zodiac assuming that he and Allen aren't the same person.
• Leave the Plot Threads Hanging: Who was Rick Marshall? Maybe he did kill people and film it, but you'll never know!
  • In Real Life, Marshall was proven to not be the Zodiac via fingerprint analysis.
• Nightmare Fuel: Any of the Zodiac encounters qualify.
  • The anonymous calls that are just heavy breathing.
  • Leigh's trailer.

"Squirrels."

• Paranoia Fuel: Be careful when someone pulls up next to you.
  • Lampshaded when Robert briefly thinks that Bob Vaughn is the Zodiac.
• Tom Hanks Syndrome: John Ennis, Philip Baker Hall, Dermot Mulroney, Charles Fleischer, and Anthony Edwards are best known as comic actors.
• The Untwist: Toschi's number-one suspect was Leigh. And he was right...according to the film, anyway.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: Certain scenes featuring San Fran to be digitally created and you won't even know which ones.
  • To save time David Fincher decided to not use bloody makeup for the murder scenes, thus all blood is CGI.
• What an Idiot! - Leigh, if the informant's story is true. He basically laid out his entire murder plot to him on New Years Day, as well as saying he would call himself the Zodiac.
