10 Movies That Pissed Audiences Off The RIGHT WAY

4. The Killer Isn't Caught - Zodiac

David Fincher's Zodiac is a masterful, meticulously accurate account of the Zodiac Killer's rampage across the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1960 and early 1970s.

Fincher goes into immense detail about both the brutality of Zodiac's killings and also the desperate quest of both the police and cartoonist Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) to catch him.

And while just about every serial killer movie ever made ends with a big reveal and the killer blown away by the hero, Zodiac was never actually caught in real life, and rather than rustle up a Hollywood ending, Fincher stays entirely true to reality.

The film's final scene sees surviving Zodiac victim Mike Mageau (Jimmi Simpson) identifying Arthur Leigh Allen (John Carroll Lynch) as the man who shot him 22 years prior.

But of course, Mageau's identification is far from concrete, supporting evidence against Allen was weak and Allen died the year after Mageau ID'd him.

In a film wholly concerned with Graysmith's fascination to unmask Zodiac, it's quite brilliant that Fincher manages to convey that irritated fascination to the viewer.
