ZODIAC KILLER PROJECT is a sly, sideways spin on the true crime genre, fashioned by a filmmaker who lovingly critiques the tropes and cliches of the form with a connoisseur’s eye. Using Bay Area landscapes, stylized b-roll, and archival material to tell the story of an abandoned documentary about the infamous and still unsolved serial murders of the late 1960s, it is an improbable resurrection that blends ruminative speculation and chilling anecdotes with a melancholic air of irresolution.
