About This Movie

Zodiac (2014), directed by W.D. Hogan, is this curious blend of science fiction and a TV movie vibe that tackles some big ideas. The story unfolds around an ancient astrology artifact, unearthed by archaeologists, and soon things start spiraling into chaos with global disasters. The tone is quite tense, and you can feel the weight of impending doom throughout. The pacing might not be for everyone, but it builds this peculiar atmosphere of urgency and desperation. Performances range from solid to a bit over the top, which adds to its charm, I suppose. And the practical effects—they're not groundbreaking, but they have a tangible quality that you can appreciate. It’s distinct for how it intertwines science, fate, and some pretty hefty themes about human nature.

Interesting take on astrology and disaster themes.Unearths deeper questions about humanity's choices.Noteworthy practical effects for a TV production.
