The Curse of the Zodiac refers to the supposed negative influence that each of the 12 astrological zodiac signs can have on a person's life. According to astrologers, the position and alignment of the stars and planets at the time of a person's birth can determine their personality traits and future events. While astrology is not scientifically proven, many people believe in its power and the supposed curse that comes with each zodiac sign. The zodiac signs are divided into four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. Each element is associated with three specific signs, and each sign has its own unique characteristics. However, it is believed that these characteristics can sometimes manifest as curses in a person's life.
Hydrogen: This is the story of Director Ulli Lommel, a man who secretly filmed a bunch of couples having incredibly fake and boring arguments, then dubbed over it with confusing rants about how they're all "fat fucks" and "bitches," and then - worst of all - decided to call the end product a movie.
Lommel has also been referred to as a cult director, and it s a plausible tag, I suppose, since history has proven one can achieve that status via sheer volume of output it worked for Jess Franco or jaw-dropping wrongheadedness that, over time, can come to be viewed as lovable eccentricity see Ed Wood. Overview In 200 years, when somebody finds a copy of this movie at the bottom of a smoking radioactive crater, it s going to be the first found footage to be unceremoniously thrown back.
However, it is believed that these characteristics can sometimes manifest as curses in a person's life. For example, Aries, a fire sign, is known to be impulsive and headstrong. The curse of Aries can manifest as a lack of patience and an inability to stay focused on long-term goals.
Curse of the Zodiac
Overview: In 200 years, when somebody finds a copy of this movie at the bottom of a smoking radioactive crater, it's going to be the first "found footage" to be unceremoniously thrown back.
The Case For: If you've ever wanted to see what would happen if you coated some film in neon-green diarrhea and threw a camera down the stairs into a poorly lit whorehouse, look no further.
The Case Against: A drunken mash-up of all the worst flunkout student films ever made would still be a much better movie than Curse of the Zodiac. Also, we're pretty sure if you tape your eyelids open and strap yourself into a chair to watch this, you will become the Manchurian Candidate.
Hydrogen: Weighing in with a blistering 1.3/10 on IMDB, Curse of the Zodiac is mainly a psychological study of one disturbed man, a damaged and psychotic loner reviled by most and yet prolific in his dark trade.

Trillaphon: Zodiac is a genre unto itself - a genre we like to call "Sharthaus", which consists mainly of life-ruiningly awful cinematography, insane, rambling German guy voiceovers, putrid radioactive barf-green lighting in every scene, and of course some very liberal helpings of shit like this:
The movie you have tried to dial is too high. Please hang up and try again.
Trillaphon: It's like having a nightmarishly shitfaced Uwe Boll Uwe Swole movie marathon in a funhouse with Rammstein, feat. special guest speaker Ken Nordine.
Hydrogen: DU. DU HAST. DU HAST EPILEPSY. DU HAST EPILEPSY.
Hydrogen: You might think we cherry-picked that scene, but the entire movie is pretty much a twisted labyrinth of spinning, out-of-focus cameras and pointless gibberish. If you are stupid enough to watch Curse of the Zodiac the whole way through, you'll fondly remember it as 82 of the worst minutes of your entire life.
Trillaphon: Stepping into a medieval torture chamber for a quick session in the iron maiden would be a refreshing and delightful change of pace after watching this. Speaking of which:
Trillaphon: That guy is the best actor I've ever seen, assuming his direction was "Okay, you're Joaquin Phoenix having a fucking stroke at a piano, and. go."
Hydrogen: I like that for once, Zodiac is on the side of good here. He's going to stab the shit out of Rainman there and that woman on his couch will be freed from her life of constant terror, trapped in the Autism Lounge and Dungeon-Cabana.
Trillaphon: She thinks listening to that is torture, but she hasn't heard the rest of the Curse of the Zodiac soundtrack.
Hydrogen: DU. DU HAST. DU HAST EPILEPSY. DU HAST EPILEPSY.

The acting was mediocre at best, with the performances feeling forced and lacking authenticity. Additionally, the special effects were underwhelming and did not add much to the overall experience. While I appreciated the effort behind this film, I cannot say that I enjoyed it.

The plot was convoluted and hard to follow, making it difficult to become fully immersed in the story. The characters lacked depth and their motivations were unclear. Additionally, the film relied heavily on jump scares, which became repetitive and lost their impact as the movie progressed. While I commend the creativity behind this film, I believe it could have been executed much better.
