Revisit the killing spree that had the citizens of New York City locking their doors in fear as the story of the "Son of Sam" killings comes to the screen courtesy of legendary director Ulli Lommel (The Tenderness of Wolves, The Curse of the Zodiac). A murderous gunman is prowling the streets of the city. He claims that he was inspired to kill by a satanic cult. Yet even years after he's apprehended and the killings have ceased, the specter of death continues to loom heavy over the iconic city skyline. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

With his direct-to-video crime thriller Curse of the Zodiac, goremeister Ulli Lommel recreates the terrifying events perpetuated by the notorious Zodiac Killer, who unleashed a torrent of wrath and misery on San Francisco citizens during the early '70s - and left only a baffling series of signs and symbols as his calling card. Cassandra Church and Jack Quinn co-star. This feature should not be confused with the A-list David Fincher thriller Zodiac starring Robert Downey, Jr and Mark Ruffalo, which reached U.S. cinemas in early 2007. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

The Polish-born character actor-cum-slasher film director Ulli Lommel helms the 2006 direct-to-video horror picture The Black Dahlia, not to be confused with Brian De Palma's A-budget feature The Black Dahlia from the same year. Whereas the De Palma film dramatizes the infamous 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short and the investigation that ensued, Lommel's picture instead concerns a series of contemporary L.A.-area homicides patterned after the 1947 slaying. It stars Elissa Dowling, Sutton Christopher, and Christian Behm, and tells of a "copycat" serial killer who reads of the 1947 murder and goes on a rampage in modern-day Los Angeles, producing a series of partially mutilated female bodies in dumpsters in emulation of Elizabeth Short's murderer. A rookie cop and his partner happen upon several of the corpses and must track down the psychopath in order to end his menace forever. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

A tormented rock star being stalked by a malevolent killer receives valuable advice from the master of macabre in director Ulli Lommel's cinematic tribute to legendary horror author Edgar Allan Poe. As a child, Lenore was surrounded by darkness. It was during those grim and frightening days that the terrified girl became acquainted with the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe. These days, Lenore has achieved fame as the singer in a Los Angeles-based rock band, but unfortunately her high-profile status has made her the target of a supernatural killer. After seeing her friends and colleagues fall one by one to a murderous force from beyond the mortal realm, the terrified singer is horrified to discover that she is to become the next victim of the seemingly omnipotent murderer. Though at first Lenore feels as if all hope is lost, a nighttime visit from the author whose works helped her survive some of the darkest days of her childhood offers a fighting chance of cheating death. Meanwhile, in the mountaintop lair of the Raven, where the bloodied bodies of his victims lie desecrated, a ghostly killer prepares to claim his most prized victim. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
