The Zodiac Killer (1971)

Audubon Films
Directed by Tom Hanson
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Something Weird Video)

Mild-mannered mailman Hal Reed is actually San Francisco's famous Zodiac Killer. He spends his off time performing religious ceremonies in his basement, talking to his pet rabbits and killing lonely couples around SF. We get occasional running dialogue of his thoughts, mostly dire warnings to the viewer that he could be anyone, even the "quiet guy next door". It's one of the most misogynistic films you will ever see, women are portrayed as wanting nothing more than money and sex from their men.
