This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

name a scarier line in a movie than “mr graysmith, i do the posters myself” and “not many people have basements in california”
Review by kate ★★★★½ 2

"Hair was digitally added to the close-ups of Jake Gyllenhaal's knuckles as he draws or holds letters. David Fincher felt that Gyllenhaal's hands were too hairless and pretty."
Happy 10th anniversary to this movie and Jake Gyllenhaal's pretty hands

Jake: Oh it’s fine I’ve only been waiting for (looks at watch) 2 hours, wow...
Me: Oh, 2 hours? You think that’s a long time do you? 2 hours? 2 HOURS? Try 2 hours and 42 minutes Jake. Try waiting 2 hours and 42 minutes for the most promising suspect to fucking die before he can be arrested. But you know what makes it even harder, Jake? Try being ANGRY at this 2 hour 42 minute long movie that leaves you with absolutely no justice, just a shit ton of facts that add up to the arrest of one person who physically can’t be arrested and never will be when it’s SO informative with such a good cast and a…

Review by emilia ★★★★ 2

the fact that david fincher didn't want to cut any of the script so he just told all the actors to talk really fast is literally so iconic
Review by Karsten Runquist ★★★★½ 16

I LOVED this wayyyy more than I thought I would. I am so tempted to give it a 5. How is every performance amazing? How am I just getting into Fincher? How is it that I could watch 2 more hours of this without being bored? How has Mark Ruffalo not gotten his damn animal crackers yet?

I WANNA WATCH IT AGAIN

Review by Jim Cummings ★★★★★ 17

This film is a masterpiece, enough said.
AND, for anyone who is interested here are some case facts that were left out of the film: Arthur Leigh Allen attended a college where a brutal murder happened on the football field and the administration got anonymous letters from the killer afterward. Leigh Allen also got a speeding ticket near Lake Berryessa the night of the Vallejo murders. He was 50 miles from his home. I wonder why he was driving so fast... :)

Review by Tanis Back ★★★★

cw: blood, death, minimal use of r-slur, mention of child molestation
i swear marvel has ruined me. all i can see is tony stark and quentin beck in the early days. ruffalo doesnt show a hint of bruce banner though, interestingly enough
something i really loved about this movie is (at least in the first half) its repeated use of these urgent dolly shots and shots where the camera moves along with the chassis of a car. these really give it this fast pace that feels wonderfully at odds with the characters, almost as though the characters need to awkwardly half-jog, half-speedwalk to keep up. it really demonstrates how truly unorganised and inefficient the police force were during the actual…

this movie is good if your patient and have 3 hours to burn
Review by Soren Stancliff ★★★½

A fun time but I think the runtime could have easily been chopped down. Some character inclusions felt pretty worthless too.
Review by zburns999 ★★★★★

"Not many people have basements in California" is probably the scariest line I've ever heard in a movie
Review by skkkrtt ★★★★★

Maybe my favorite cast ever. Maybe my favorite Fincher ever. I love the feelings this movie gives me. I’m terrified right now. EDIT: added it to my top 4. It really got me this time!
