I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

ZODIAC: SAN FRANPSYCHO is another laughable serial killer flick shot on an indie budget. The ZODIAC was added to the original title after the success of the David Fincher movie. Once again the cheap cameraman follows a serial killer through the city as he goes about his work, but those looking for another MANIAC should be aware that there's no gore here and no suspense either. It's just a mess of wooden acting and bad camera-work, all shot within an ultra-slow narrative. It's more police procedural than horror.

I have been patiently waiting for the new "Zodiac" to be released early next year. And I've done the other two Zodiac released films that were released direct to video. Seeing this one on the shelf made me very curious but I was expecting a big let down. With this being a lower budget film I thought for sure it would suck. It kept my interest and I thought one of the cops were going to die for sure. I actually thought the reporter was going to turn into a psycho herself and kill the boyfriend. I expected a twist like that. Even though things didn't go the way I thought or would have liked it was still a good movie. I can appreciate a low budget movie that tries and San Franpsycho worked for me. I like to see movies succeed the way this one did. Rent it if you like good acting on a low budget level or just wait for "Zodiac" if you're spoiled with big budget Hollywood stuff. I can appreciate both.

San Franpyscho: 1 out of 10: So you want to make a serial killer movie. But your budget is non-existent, your camera equipment is elderly and your stars are Joe Estevez (Martin Sheen's younger brother and a staple in really bad movies) and Todd Bridges from Different Strokes. There are probably ways to pull of at least a watchable film. The Quiroz brothers have no clue.First of all much of the cast seems to have been chosen in a desperate attempt to make Bridges and Estevez look like Oscar caliber thespians. Really how hard is it to play a priest or an overbearing mother? Certainly a city the size of San Francisco has a few professional actors willing to work for a few bucks and a screen credit. Clearly Chris Angelo and Bonnie Steiger who play these roles have other talents such as landscaper or waitress they ought to be fine tuning.Joe Rosete as the killer (yes the serial killer is simply known as "The Killer") is also pretty awful in a mentally ill method kind of way but I am almost willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as his character is written with zero style or personality. A boring almost laughable serial killer is a problem for a serial killer movie.In addition the Quiroz brothers seem to have originally planned this as an ABC Family movie of the week. There is no nudity or violence to speak of and the R rating clearly is for the adult style pacing. This move meanders like an 85 year old woman driving with wraparound sunglasses and her turn signal on. The only occasional horror comes from lighting Estevez's face with a glare that makes it look like his lower jaw was removed.I wasn't expecting a great film when I rented San Franpyscho but I wasn't expecting mind numbing boredom either.

What a creepy place, San Francisco. What a creepy score, tech-no. What a creepy killer who kills sinners committing dirty sins. But the creepiest thing in the whole movie is when you have to hear this guy talk. He sounds like he's a baby boy in a hulking man's body...what a lunatic. This is the best horror movie, this year, period. It has everything. It has great characters. The acting was so good. Everyone in the cast was great. It takes you for a ride leaving you wondering what's going to happen next. Body after body, victim after victim. Thank you for putting so much into your characters. A lot of filmmakers either don't know how, don't care, or just don't come through with good character development to carry you through the movie. Good Job. Be careful, the San Franpsycho is still out there.
