Experiencing Interruptions?

ZODIAK KILLER FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE

Synopsis: A team of paranormal investigators tremble in their boots as they attempt to communicate with the Zodiac Killer, near San Fransisco. Whether or not you believe in evil spirits, the fear that oozes from the pores of this film is all too real.

Admittedly, there is a certain air of 'ridiculousness' here which makes for a few laughs along the way. But hey - it's entertainment, folks!

(And yes, the word Zodiak is deliberately misspelled.)

Director Statement

I have never been as tense and uneasy as I felt that night in that room. We decided to feature long reaction shots of frightened participants. One guy was so scared he had goose bumps and the hair on his arm was standing up, which he pointed to while on-camera.

My motto while filming is - fix it NOW because we can't always fix it in post. That worked well for us while filming on location in Martinez with conditions we couldn't recreate later.

"We've got this sea of 'new-age' thespian reporters and manufactured journalism, with 'This Bunch'.... utterly fabricating this silly story for our entertainment (clearly) of this place being haunted. Dear God..."
