I’ve lengthy harbored an uneasy feeling in the direction of the true crime style, as every new docuseries makes an attempt to current essentially the most salacious or distressing story attainable, and switch real-life tragedy into streaming library fodder. “Zodiac Killer Venture” explores and deconstructs our true crime obsession.
Filmmaker Charlie Shackleton as soon as tried to make a documentary concerning the Zodiac Killer, and out of the ashes of that failed try comes a brand new doc that delves into the inside workings of the style and considers if we’ve hit a saturation level (for my part, we most definitely have). Scoring 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, critics name it “a revelatory rumination on filmmaking and the overindulgence of the true crime style.”
