The premise

An elusive serial killer known as the Zodiac terrorizes the San Francisco Bay in the late 1960s, while detectives aim to stop him before he claims more victims. Based on a true story.

Horror Vault's take

In the shadow of the late 1960s, a faceless killer calling himself the Zodiac sends coded taunts to Bay Area newspapers and baffles law enforcement with each new crime. Investigators race against time while ordinary families live in creeping dread, never knowing who might be next. Rooted in one of America's most chilling unsolved cases, this dramatization explores the psychological toll the killings exact on those trying to stop — or simply survive — them.
