Zodiac :: Director's Cut

Oh David Fincher how you creep me the hell out....and I love you for it. Zodiac is one of those films that you think about way after it's done. I got my greedy hands on the special 2 disc Director's Cut and let me say that even if your not a fan of the film itself, if your into serial killers this 2 disc set is for you. The extra's on this disc are amazing, from a full documentary done on the killings to a chilling featurette on the suspected killer (Arthur Leigh Allen) you will be amazed by the depth and  quality of the speshul features as the Zodiac might call them. Some of the features include Commentary from the Director, Jake Gyllenhal, Robert Downey and more.

It also includes The Visual Effects of Zodiac, Previsulization of Zodiac and more.Make sure you check out the Visual Effects extra below. It's amazing how much of this film is not actually filmed where you think. However my favorite two extras on this disk are "This is the Zodiac Speaking" which is the feature length documentary about the case and "His Name Was Arthur Leigh Allen" which is the absolutely chilling  featurette about the prime suspect in the Zodiac case from the people who investigated him and his personal friends. My only complaints would be that it's all talking heads and they don't really mix in any footage or old photos of Arthur Leigh Allen so it gets kinda strange. Check out some of the behind the scenes below. And did I mention that it wins DVD packaging of the year award?

Final Score of a B+
