I Know Who Killed Me Imdb
I'grand so sorry I went
Wait, I accept a strong stomach, but I accept no employ for Torture Porn in my entertainment. A few weeks ago, I saw a preview of this flick that gave no indication of information technology'southward true nature. This, plus the intriguing poster led me to believe this was going to be a brooding drama in the Hitchcock tradition. Instead, I found myself watching the ugliest, almost icky flick I take e'er attended of my own free volition. I should have guessed when the cashier gave me a funny expect while getting my ticket.
The first matter I realized was the script was past an amateur. The scenes and dialog jumping around with no thought or subtlety. Similar other reviewers, I knew who the torturing villain was within the first few minutes. But, I still had to sit down through several scenes of dismemberment and hurting, which made me sick. Sick that I had spent coin to lookout this disaster.
I can't imagine why Lindsay Lohan would agree to be in this production. There are other venues to stretch her interim talents. Neal McDonough and Julia Ormond's rent must have been due.
The story, such every bit it is has at it's core an interesting premise. A top director might accept made a respectable film out of information technology with a total rewrite, without the gore and more atmosphere.
This movie is an absolute, total disaster. No i involved has anything to be proud of.

One of the Worst Thrillers of the 2000's
Warning: Spoilers
Combine Twin Peaks, Brian De Palma'southward Sisters and the latest disney channel star to fall off the production line with an incoming DUI and you lot have one of the near poorly received suspense thrillers of the 2000's. Us this is not (or it could be, i oasis't seen it) as Lindsay Lohan stars in I Know who Killed Me.
The film's rather basic story revolves effectually a student's twin who was abducted and tortured by a sadistic serial killer. She manages to brand it out alive just after she regains consciousness in the hospital she insists that her identity is that of another woman.
The music score by Joel McNeely is as Hollywood as they come up and it ranges from ill fitting orchestral melodies to just plain unlistenable clanging on a pianoforte equally if the actor's hands were fabricated of potatoes. Parts of this soundtrack are genuinely some of the worst that I take e'er heard in an internationally released film.
Manager Chris Sivertson splooged his VHS drove all over the screen and blinded us all so that we can't brand caput nor tail of what'south going on half the time. There are other reasons why this film is both equal parts anticipated yet incomprehensible and we'll get to those, simply for at present information technology must be said that the manager's visual platitudes brand the optics grow weary with their pointlessness and them serving equally reminders that there are several films out at that place much amend than this doing more or less the aforementioned in both story and presentation.
Apart from Lohan's desperate attempts at credibility, torture porn being shoehorned into this celibate old school thriller is the virtually 2008 thing about this film. Whilst these scenes are effective, they serve no purpose and just appointment the film in the near hilarious and original way.
Coming now to the unsung arsonist of the staggering dumpster burn that is this film is start (and last time apparently) screenwriter Jeff Hammond. The dialogue is wall nifty levels of on the nose and beyond belief is the film's overall concept, nearly likely due to the complete absence of likeable characters to distract us from it's high concept spastication.
Lindsay Lohan is terrible in this, clearly relying on the bratty charm that worked for her in the Disney period of her career, but it is woefully out of place here in this edgy as balls 'erotic' thriller.
Speaking of which, there was a no nudity clause in her contract, yet there is a lengthy sexual practice scene too as extended pole dancing scenes with her? The skilfulness of an actress should never be defined by her cup size, but why even have these scenes fifty-fifty when their purpose it to be erotic? Nudity also definitely would have gone a long fashion towards helping Lohan shake off the Disney dandruff. Sadly, information technology's all perfectly understandable. Lohan was going through a really bad time in her life when this film was existence made with TMZ shadowing her every motion and encouraging her e'er increasing self-destructive behaviour. It was a disgraceful scene that showed a side of the film manufacture everyone would have liked to forget existed. Until Twitter happened that is and made paparazzi scum out of you all. Nude scenes probably would accept just fanned the flames regarding Lohan's situation in the late 2000's.
I'll conclude by saying that I Know Who Killed Me is full amateur hour despite having a lot of veteran Hollywood talent working on it. Lohan is hopelessly immature, the direction is insipid and the screenplay is a mess. Some scenes are effective, but only past pure luck solitary. Overall the film is but aimless tedium.

Has improved with historic period
This movie came at the height of Lindsay's legal troubles so it was disregarded as an awful motion picture at the fourth dimension of release I retrieve, just I honestly consider this to be one of Lindsay Lohan's best films when it comes to darker and more serious work as an actress minus her comedy and family-friendly roles. For me this pic has improved with age. It was not released at a time that information technology would have been plant relevant.
What was partly misunderstood about this picture was it was marketed as a serious horror flick that was intended to be frightening but instead it is more of a David Lynch and Twin Peaks kind of thing with an ambiguous ending and a mystery / crime storyline more than a horror one.
This film captivates me each time I give information technology a sentry. I would take liked Lindsay to explore more edgy roles in her past career during this fourth dimension. The catastrophe is quite eerie because it could about go either fashion.
I retrieve this motion picture is not as bad as Lindsay's Legal troubles would tell you lot information technology is. For someone similar myself non looking to hate it, or hate on the actress/actors, I find it an enjoyable criminal offence mystery. One of Lindsay'south better roles for a more mature minded audience.
I know some would find it ridiculous anyone could genuinely savor this movie. Only it is but such a wacky premise and the themes are deliberate. It's competently acted, and the ending that didn't sit well at kickoff, has improved with age.
I think it'south unfortunate that audiences didn't appreciate this flick, but seeing as it has improved with age, and has kind of a timeless dreamlike quality to it. I would get every bit far to say this could exist considered a cult classic some day. Maybe in 30 years someone else might capeesh this moving-picture show but at face value.

"BarbWire was better than this"
That'due south right, my girlfriend turned to me in the movie and said, "I remember BarbWire was improve than this." Her opinion and mine seemed to bear through to the whole audience in the advance screening we went to final dark. The audience was laughing at the horrible acting, terrible script and crap camera work.
Specifics: Lohan works in a strip club where women are topless, still she never takes the superlative off and even in sheer bra has pasties on (or were the pasties on top of the bra?). I could care less about seeing her naked, but if yous are playing a stripper you might have to at least imply nudity with well placed hands.
Someone decided to inject humor into the movie into the most bad-mannered places. The biggest problem was trying to figure out why people were laughing more than during the "serious parts" than the "funny parts".
Characters come in, spout some wisdom and disappear behind a stone like the Dungeon Master. I have a feeling that they are supposed to be angels, maybe God himself?
The twists in the moving picture are tough to swallow. I will not even come close to ruining them, they are not even worth ruining. Someone thought they could write a M. Knight script, but failed.
Overall, this motion-picture show would be worth a rental from the dollar kiosk at the grocery store, every bit long every bit everything else is sold out. I am glad I got in for free. If you do decide to spend money to run into this movie, send me the cash instead, I will then hit you in the groin, you lot volition relish information technology more.

Very foreign, simply not terrible
My friend and I were looking for a moving picture to encounter in the theater yesterday, everything I saw she didn't ad everything she saw I didn't, only one flick nosotros didn't encounter was I Know Who Killed Me. We never heard of it, nosotros actually for a infinitesimal didn't wanna see it because Lindsay Lohan was in it, but eventually we were merely like "What the heck?". We needed a couple hours to impale and had gratuitous movie tickets that we got every bit a gift. So afterward seeing I Know Who Killed Me, I just was thinking of how much of a strange flick this was, but at the same time I didn't call back it was all that bad, at that place were some things left unexplained and the ending was pretty lame, but I think over all, this was a thriller with expert potential and just needed a little pick-me-up.
Aubrey is a practiced daughter who has strong potential to be a practiced writer and pianoforte player, she has a good life, good abode, loving parents, good friends, and a loving boyfriend. One night though, she is kidnapped and brutally tortured. Someone finds her on the road, but when Aubrey is picked up and taken to the hospital, she says she'southward not Aubrey, she's Dakota Moss, a stripper with a muddy life who has no idea what's going on, but she'southward not Aubrey. Is this a story that she's believing as well much? Is this a possible side effect from beingness traumatized? Is this something from the drugs the killer was making her take? Or is she even right? Is information technology a possibility that she really isn't Aubrey? Anybody calls her crazy and only tries to make her believe that she is Aubrey, but Dakota searches for the truth and wants answers.
Like I said, I Know Who Killed Me turned out to be a little surprise of a flick, I liked information technology personally, in that location were things that were confusing, but over all I retrieve the plot kept me guessing and going. Lindsay I would say did a good task, but the strip scenes at times were a petty too much, just because we all know her personal life, so I retrieve it would make u.s.a. a little uncomfortable. At that place are some flaws to the moving-picture show, but I wouldn't say to stay away, just keep your mind open and y'all might detect yourself liking it.
5/x

A giallo at heart!
Warning: Spoilers
I'm going to offset this off with an unpopular accept. This is not a bad movie. When I outset met my married woman, she used to tell me how much she loved it and I thought she was crazy. Surely, everyone online that went out of their mode to destroy it had to be correct, right?
Wrong. Go with me on this culling universe logic - if Lindsey Lohan were a disgraced motion picture star in 1967 instead of 2007, she would have gone to Italian republic to brand movies for directors similar Bava, Argento, Martino and Antonio Margheriti. She would have been in the aforementioned company as Anita Ekberg, Florinda Bolkan, Elke Somer and even Edwige Fenech.
The film has all the hallmarks of giallo: a series killer is abducting, torturing and killing immature women in the suburb of New Salem. An evening of fun for Aubrey Fleming (Lohan) turns into weeks of torture equally she wakes upward bound and gagged on an operating table, her hands deep in dry out water ice.
The FBI Task Force has already given up promise of finding the killer, but a driver discovers Aubrey on a deserted road in the centre of the night. To the shock of her parents, she declares that she'due south really a stripper named Dakota Moss and has no idea who Aubrey Fleming is. And and then she realizes that she's missing her hand and half of her leg.
At this point, y'all're either going to give up on this motion picture or dive in. I propose diving right in.
While the police, the doctors and her parents believe that this is all PTSD, Aubrey/Dakota insists that she is not who anyone thinks she is. Things go weirder when FBI agents detect a story on Aubrey's laptop about a girl with an alter ego named Aubrey. And DNA confirms that Dakota really is Aubrey. This inversion of identity is central to the main tenets of archetype giallo.
Dakota has a theory of her own: She'south Aubrey'southward twin sister and her injuries are Corsican Brothers-similar (or Tomax and Xamot, if y'all prefer) sympathetic wounds as she experiences the plight of her symbiotic sibling.
Sure, her mother has a pregnancy ultrasound that shows but one fetus. But Dakota confronts her father (or Aubrey's, stay with me) as she believes that her female parent lost that child soon after its nascency and that she and Aubrey were the twin children of a fissure addict named Virginia Sue Moss. Aubrey was taken to live in comfort city mouse style while she stayed with Moss, trailer park mouse way. The complexity? Virginia Sue Moss was nonetheless some other grapheme from Aubrey's brusk story.
Richard Roeper claims that this is the worst moving picture of the 2000s, calling the picture "a ridiculous thriller (minus the thrills)" and saying that information technology's filled with a" nonsensical plot that grows sillier by the second, tawdry special effects, heavy-handed symbolism that's large on electrical-blue hues and mechanical performances are all culprits as far every bit the championship's concerned." Has Roeper even seen a giallo? Because reading that sentence makes me want to watch this movie all over over again!
Back to the movie: Dakota starts to meet visions of the killer slicing upward his captive which draws her to the cemetery. As she investigates the grave of some other victim, Aubrey'due south friend Jennifer, she finds a blue ribbon from a piano contest. Aubrey was a noted pianist and there's a annotation attached from her (and Jennifer'southward) piano teacher, Douglas Norquist. Every bit her father (or Aubrey'southward, expect, it'due south not a giallo if y'all don't get confused) looks on, she declares, "I know who killed me."
That'due south because the ribbon says, "Blue Ribbons Are For Winners, Never Settle For The Red, Rest In Peace, Douglas." It'south a metaphor for the lives of the twins: Aubrey is the blue chipper with a boyfriend that loves her, good grades, enough of friends and a brilliant future. Dakota works in the red light district and faces a life of poverty.
Without any police backup - again, this happens all the fourth dimension in giallo - they face Norquist. Daniel is killed before Aubrey leaves the condom of the car and enters the house. She fights Norquist, cut off his hand, before she's tied up. He asks her why she returned after he cached her alive before she frees herself and kills him. She heads into the woods where she digs up Aubrey, verifying that she was not insane and had been right all along. So, she lies on the ground with her twin sister.
Some of the few critics who liked this movie compared it to Brian DePalma or David Lynch films. Certain. Or you could go correct to the source - Italian republic.
If you replaced the score of the film (that said, I honey that The Sword and The Melvins are heard in this motion-picture show) with some insane synth or orchestral music (someone get Claudio Simonetti, Piero Umiliani or Morricone on the line), if you lot made the homes space historic period lounges filled with improbable furniture and if you had more than 1 scene of Lohan stripping (any of the sex activity in this movie is honestly the unsexiest sex ever, they should have really studied Sergio Martino movies), this moving picture would fit perfectly into my DVD collection between Hatcher for the Honeymoon and Inferno. Who am I kidding? It'southward on my shelf already!
This is non the commencement time Lohan played twins on flick, thanks to starring in the remakes of Freaky Friday and The Parent Trap. Once more, this is perfect giallo casting - non to mention pure exploitation - showing her gone to seed as two twins who couldn't be more different.
However, this was not an easy picture show to film for director Chris Sivertson, as Lohan had an appendix operation during shooting. Plus, at that place were times when she would not show up at all - necessitating a body double be used to picture the finish of the movie. Even worse, she was followed by paparazzi throughout the shoot and some of them are still in the groundwork of a few shots!
At that place are giallo techniques used throughout the film, such as a neon sign outside the strip club that foreshadows Dakota's injuries and the fact that Bava-esque blue and crimson lighting determines which grapheme is on screen between Aubrey and Dakota.
While then many decry this film for not making any sense, if yous've fabricated it through any number of classics (sure, the director claims Hitchcock equally a master influence, but you tin can say that he'southward the well from which all giallo flows) like The Bird With the Crystal Plume or Deep Cherry or Lizard in a Woman'south Skin, you're going to be but fine. The world was just ready to devour Lindsey Lohan and this flick would be its sacrificial lamb. Oh if but there were an Italian picture manufacture for her to turn to and appear aslope Ivan Rassimov!

I know who Killed my career!
If they really wanted to punish Lindsey Lohan in the 84 minutes she spent in jail, they should have made her watch this moving picture. That would take been barbarous and unusual.
I'm not fifty-fifty going to go into a synopsis, because the movie fabricated so footling sense that information technology isn't worth commenting on. Lohan is an awful actress, and if y'all are hoping to see her naked because she plays a stripper, you are going to be disappointed. Sorry, if yous want to meet her naughty $.25, yous are going to accept to option up a gossip mag like everyone else.
She's chop-chop going to be consigned to Straight to DVD Heck, and deservedly and so.
Fifty-fifty the studio knew they had a stink bomb, considering they released information technology without showing it to the critics.

Intriguing Premise, Absurd Resolution
In New Salem, the upper-class high-school pupil and aspiring writer Aubrey Fleming (Lindsay Lohan) has merely quit the piano classes to dedicate to write. When the mutilated torso of her missing schoolmate Jennifer Toland is establish, the locals grieve the student while the police force chase the serial-killer. Subsequently a football game, Aubrey is kidnapped and so she is mutilated by the psychopath. A couple of weeks later, Aubrey is found unconscious in a lonely road and brought to the hospital with severed mitt and pes in the same modus-operandi Jennifer was mutilated. When she awakes, she tells that she is the stripper Dakota Moss and her junky mother had an overdose and died. When the FBI finds that Dakota is 1 character of Aubrey'due south stories, they conclude the daughter needs psychiatric treatment and protection. But Dakota insists she is non Aubrey
"I Know Who Killed Me" has a promising premise of a girl that denies being herself after a traumatic and extremely violent feel. The cinematography is stylish, with blue color for Aubrey and red for Dakota. However, the identity of the killer is easily predictable when Dakota visits Jennifer's parents. Unfortunately, the resolution is absurd and even ridiculous, imaging that what physically happens to Aubrey happens too to Dakota. The undercover of Aubrey and Dakota is excellent, but unfortunately wasted in a bad screenplay. Farther, most of the characters (FBI agents, Aubrey's boyfriend, the gardener) vanish near the weak conclusion. With improvements in the screenplay, this movie could be great. Nevertheless, the top nomination (nine) to the 28th RAZZIE® Awards is unfair. My vote is five.

"Kill" Me Now!
Where exercise I start with this movie? Everything single aspect of it is sorry. The plot, the script, the management, the acting. The movie will make you wonder: where has talent in Hollywood gone? In an absolutely moronic plot, Lindsay Lohan plays a girl who gets kidnapped, constitute years later, and wakes up missing an bagginess (and a brain patently) and thinks she is somebody else. The cliché plot makes no sense and does nothing for the picture show. I can already tell you now: those who look to see skin from Lohan in the stripping scenes volition exist disappointed.
Who actually wrote this thing anyhow? Who actually e'er hired him or her? The WGA made a fault with this one. The lines were admittedly terrible. No extra could have done well with this script and this not what Lindsay Lohan needs in her time of crisis.
All I know is, I want 1 hour and 47 minutes of my life dorsum and would rather be killed than watch it once again!

I Know Who Killed this Movie
The writer and director.
I cannot make upwards my mind which was worse, the writing or the directing. The torture/mutilation scenes were over the summit and needlessly macabre, leaving cipher to the imagination. Call back Silence of the Lambs (1991)? That motion picture had macabre aspects but it was tastefully done (no pun intended). This pic was tactless and tasteless. What in the world did they think they were doing when they made this movie?! They wasted Lindsey Lohan'due south talents; I think she tried her best to due justice to the role. Even Julia Ormond'due south presence could non salve this horrid moving picture. The director did not know what to practise with the fine actors that he had in the moving-picture show. Of the five movies he has down and then far, this is the absolute worst moving picture that Silvertson has e'er directed. Information technology totally tanked at the box office, it did not interruption fifty-fifty with a $12M budget and a $seven.2M gross.
If y'all are looking for something to sentinel and you are bored to distraction -- watch something else. And whatever you lot do, practise not waste material your money renting this moving picture.
Viewers beware!

Poor story flow
This motion picture has a good story, merely the manager didn't know how to make information technology interesting. Some visual effects were really good, but I just was not able to spotter it 'til the end. Awful.

Intriguing, Original Thriller, But With Faults.
Alarm: Spoilers
"I Know Who Killed Me" is about a young college educatee named Aubrey Fleming (Lindsay Lohan), who disappears i dark while going out with some friends. She is found on the side of route weeks later, all the same alive, with her hand and leg viciously amputated past her captor. But when she awakens in the hospital, Aubrey claims to be somebody else... a woman named Dakota Moss, a rough-living stripper who says that she is beingness mistaken as Aubrey, and that the existent Aubrey Fleming is withal in mortal danger. Aubrey'due south worried parents try and uncover the truth, while Dakota tries to convince others that she isn't Aubrey... but is Aubrey really merely pretending to be someone else? Is she suffering from a psychological problem triggered by her kidnapping and torture? Or could Dakota really possibly be a real person? Watch and detect out.
Subsequently seeing the trailer for this movie, I knew I had to see information technology. I'thousand not a fan of Lohan particularly, merely this moving picture looked skilful. Unfortunately, information technology has its ups and downs, but overall I thought it was a pretty good horror/thriller. The plot is original in its essential form, simply does contain some clichés hither and there - all things considered though, this is an original premise that deals with sure scenarios not often seen in cinema (if at all). It'due south a mystery motion picture, and it did do a very solid job at keeping the viewer guessing. The expected twists and turns accept identify as well, and I idea for the most office the plot twists were adequately well idea-out. You don't really know what to retrieve or expect for the showtime hour or so, as the story is pieced together linking Aubrey and Dakota, and whether or not they are in fact one person. I did become a little confused at moments, and in that location were a few plot holes (which I expected because the complex storyline), only overall I didn't run into anything that afflicted the course of the motion-picture show. Things pieced together fairly nicely before anything became too much of a problem, but at that place were some holes that needed filling.
Another thing that succeeds in this moving-picture show is the cinematography, information technology was really beautifully shot. Color (mainly the color blue) plays a vast corporeality of significance in the story, and while information technology is in that location for a purpose, it almost seems as well obvious because the color pops up continuously in practically every scene. Still, beautiful cinematography and some fashionable editing get adept points in my volume, and this movie had both. Even in the sexual stripteases done past the Dakota character (where Lindsay's body is the primary focus), the color use and cinematography shine. Good soundtrack too that plays forth with the menses of the moving-picture show quite well, and really adds to the picture show's energy. I was surprised at the amount of violence in this movie, but don't dismiss information technology if you are thinking information technology'southward something along the lines of a breathy torture motion picture, considering this picture show has a lot more to it than just that, unlike the recent trend of horror flicks that are nothing merely i big gory torture show. "I Know Who Killed Me" manages to pack some suspense and tension that are vital to a practiced horror and/or thriller, and there were quite a few really scary scenes. Strangely enough, there is some unexpected humor to be constitute in the moving picture as well. Ane scene in particular was really quite funny, and while I'thou not sure if it made the film less believable or was in information technology's favor, I know information technology fabricated me express mirth a few times.
As for the acting, I recollect a lot of people are slamming this motion-picture show unfairly because of information technology's atomic number 82 actress, Lindsay Lohan. Any the reason that some may despise her, I'll put it similar this - if it were another actress playing the lead, people wouldn't be every bit harsh every bit they are. Honestly, I think Lindsay gave ane of the all-time performances of her career (and so far) in this moving-picture show. Her previous films mainly consist of pointless teeny-bopper trash, so I respect her for doing something with a little more depth, and while her acting and delivery is a bit flat on occasion, she carries this movie well. Julia Ormand and Neil McDonaugh play her concerned and confused parents, and both do a good job in their roles likewise. As for the big secret ending (which I won't reveal here), I idea it was plumbing fixtures. The showdown betwixt Lindsay and the killer, while a scrap contrived, was pretty scary, equally was the villain. The caption behind the Aubrey/Dakota mystery was really strange, and I wasn't expecting it to turn out the way it did, but I think that's a expert matter. It may exist a bit of a stretch for some because of the obscure subject (and the revelation seemed to kind of come out of nowhere), but I liked it for being dissimilar and not what I'd normally expect in a twist ending.
Overall, "I Know Who Killed Me" is a dissimilar but original horror/thriller. Cinematography was fantabulous, the storyline (while a lilliputian problematic at times) was original and very intriguing, at that place are some pretty creepy scenes, and the big plot twist was different from the norm. The acting wasn't that bad either, don't judge the movie by information technology'south pb actress - I'm not a big fan of her either, but I found her to be fairly solid hither. Recommended to horror and thriller fans if you're interested in a bit of a strange but nonetheless interesting motion-picture show. It's got a few plot holes and issues, but as I see it, the good outweighed the bad, and I was happy with the ii hours I spent at the theater. 7/10.

Not fifty-fifty Ms Lohan'southward functioning did the pull a fast one on on this pappy-show!!
I saw this movie a few weeks ago. I gotta hand it to you.. it'southward one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Although Lindsay Lohan has fully grown into a immature good looking woman. This flick was supposed to put Ms Lohan's sexual antics to the top of the box office.
Unfortunately, the script was then bad and the plot was trying to be something out of an Alfred Hitchock picture. If Alfred Hitchcock was to write the script for this motion picture. At that place would be no sexual practice scenes or annihilation in in that location.
I am surprised about the movie winning the Razzies. It sucked and then bad I had to switch halfway through.. I manage to come across the rest of the film on my own PC just to find out what happened at the terminate. Only still.. it was crap. I just felt that this movie was a consummate waste of time.
If people want to encounter a really proficient sex thriller, try watching those late night movies on cablevision. You'll feel a lot more than improve watching that, than watching Ms Lohan's crappy performance.
Anyway, it's a thumbs down for me..! 0 out of x!

i can't empathize why people hate this film
To me it is great, and a lot more original than some other movies. The actors deliver a very skillful functioning, especially Aubrey's parents and the FBI. The use of the color blueish as an artistic theme was impressive and added a special feel to the movie that is somewhere between.horror and fantastic. The but down to information technology is that there were some plot holes and I think the ending was a bit sharp, to me it would accept been possible to stretch a little after the final scene.

Groovy moment
I discovered this movie in 2021 on Prime number later on reading a review in a french horror mag.
It was entertaining, sexy, agonizing, sometimes too slow, but for me it was fun.
I enjoyed the colors, the mood, the plans and ideas of the filmmaker.
Despite i didn't intendance a lot about Lindsay before, i must admit she played with a lot of intensity and is really beautiful in this movie.
I don't really go the hate this motion picture has received in 2007 !
I would give it a good 7/10 but because of the others rating i button it to ten/ten.
The DVD could be placed on a shelf well-nigh Hannibal, Red Dragon or some italian Giallo !

It's much meliorate than people are proverb
This motion-picture show has unfairly gotten a lot of hate, and I honestly can't see why. Well, ok, that's non exactly true. A big part of information technology is that it came out during a time where Lohan's career was at an all time low and the public pretty much hated her. That hatred was projected onto this movie, and so people began to detest it by default. I even know people who claimed they "hated" information technology when they hadn't fifty-fifty seen it. Y'all can't make that merits without watching it first.
The picture show has a pretty interesting premise. It's a murder mystery involving twin stigmata. From what I've heard, nonetheless, nigh people were expecting some kind of twist at the end where it's revealed that the twins are actually the aforementioned person. When the movie didn't get that route, people were upset. That seems to be another reason why people primarily hated the picture. Personally, I think it was smart non to do that. Twin stigmata in movies is not something we've seen that ofttimes, just movies with a plot twist like that have been something we've seen a thousand times. The fact that so many people thought that's what would happen proves that. So people were upset that they didn't take some grand twist. Instead, the movie gave you exactly what it promised and was exactly what it was made out to exist. Simple, simply still proficient.
Overall, I say to give the movie a chance. Ignore the hate yous've heard about information technology and get in expecting information technology to be what it is, a simple murder mystery involving twin stigmata. Is it a masterpiece? No, of course non, but information technology's still a pretty skillful motion-picture show that will keep you entertained for an hr 45, and that's perfectly ok.

Torture Porn!
Warning: Spoilers
Unless you take some sick fetish for pseudo torture porn, there'southward NOTHING in this movie for you.
The whole premise is ridiculous. In that location'due south no plot, no suspense, no decent thrills. Nothing. An empty, soul-less, grotesque stinker.
This movie has aught value. I don't know what they were thinking. It's not a thriller, it's non horror, and information technology's not a drama. It's crap!
The acting was horrendous. I used to call up Lindsay Lohan was a half-decent actress, but... sadly, this picture proved me incorrect.
Why would ANYONE want to exist associated with this disgrace of a movie?
Lindsay Lohan failed miserably; she was neither good at playing a teacher's pet, nor a sleazy stripper. Her acting was painful and embarrassing to watch. She is no ameliorate than Paris Hilton here. Well, actually, the same can exist said about pretty much everyone else involved.
I don't know who the target audience is, simply I imagine the mentally ill / criminally insane. I don't think a "normal" person could peradventure discover this neanderthalic nonsense entertaining.
My vocabulary is not extensive enough to describe how awful this movie is. I just wish I could erase this stinking crap from my memory...

You'd allow both of us die just to keep your secret?
This fourth dimension the Razzie's got information technology incorrect. This movie was no where near equally bad equally made out to be and was, in fact, a fascinating picture.
Let's get the major complaint out of the mode first, equally I happen to hold with it.
If you lot are going to take a role that calls for yous to be a stripper, then yous damn well improve be willing to strip. The fact that Lohan wasn't really detracted from the moving picture. There that'southward information technology. She was the incorrect choice for the office.
But, she actually did a credible job playing Dakota Moss and being Aubrey was simply a natural for her. I really enjoyed her performance and could totally encounter her as this girl with a terrible childhood.
The flick was also well written as a neo-noirish mystery that had some clues, but also did not brand sense. How could she exist the same person? How could she not be Aubrey? When the surreptitious is revealed, it should come up as a surprise. Information technology did for me.
This moving picture was enjoyable, and if Lohan ever decides to play a role for real, then she may gain some credibility.

This motion-picture show is crazy and Lohan is hot (even with bits missing!).
Warning: Spoilers
Information technology'southward easy to see how I Know Who Killed Me has garnered so many unfavourable reviews, since it doesn't follow the standard rules of your typical Hollywood horror, and stars Lindsay Lohan, whose popularity has been steadily waning since her much reported 'drunken episodes'. Only to label the picture equally crap is doing it an injustice: had it been made in Italian republic, information technology probably would've gone downwardly a storm with fans of Euro-horror.
With its preposterous plot laden with totally bonkers moments, a crazy killer who is revealed just in the film's closing moments, and over-stylised direction with a strong use of color, I Know Who Killed Me shares a lot in mutual with Italian horror, and, in particular, the 'giallo' genre of movies: horror/thrillers that are often weak on story, but loaded with great visuals.
Because I was expecting this Lindsay Lohan vehicle to be a tame, teen-friendly Hollywood horror, I was really rather pleasantly surprised by its absurdity (just and so I dearest Argento films, which rarely brand sense).
In addition to the constantly surprising narrative, viewers are also treated to some surprisingly nasty $.25 of gore, just, unfortunately, no nekkidness from the star (although at that place are still a couple of moments in which she does plow upward the heat: as a stripper performing a pole dance, and during a sexual activity scene).
Lohan plays Aubrey Fleming, a pretty teen who becomes the latest victim of a serial killer who has been abducting girls and cutting off their limbs earlier leaving them to die. Eventually, the daughter is discovered, mutilated, but still alive, and is taken to hospital. But when she is interviewed by the FBI, she claims that her name is Dakota, and she has no recollection of her aggressor...
Things go a picayune crazy from this moment onwards, and those who prefer their horror to be completely believable need not bother to sentry any farther—any motion picture that features a stigmatic twin who falls apart for no apparent reason isn't going to impress your 'average' cinema-goer. I, however, was in the mood for some silliness and found the motion picture pretty entertaining, despite being a tad overlong.
By no means a modernistic horror archetype, merely not the complete waste of time that some claim it to be, I Know Who Killed Me is something a little different in a genre currently packed with predictable gore-fests, atrocious sequels and dodgy remakes. half dozen.5 out of ten, rounded upwardly to 7 for IMDb.

I Know Who Killed Me- How Well-nigh Who Killed this Moving picture? 0*
Warning: Spoilers
Absolute trash starring Lindsay Lohan. The girl has to exist quite desperate to sign on to such rubbish.
Later giving up her promising piano career to pursue writing, Lohan is viciously attacked and loses limbs in the process. She is institute and regains consciousness only to merits that she is someone else. What follows is far too grizzly to talk nigh. Suffice to say, information technology's absolutely disgusting.
This is nothing more than a very cheap effort to capitalize on horror films. The very horror is this moving-picture show itself. Certainly not recommended for the nice and anyone who calls themselves normal.

Oh God
I went into this movie with a friend thinking it would be a cheesy, fun horror movie - merely a good fashion to pass the time on a rainy day.
Oh god, was I wrong.
It'south as if the director spent the picture show's unabridged budget acquiring Lindsay Lohan and disregarded everything else. EVERYTHING within this movie is bad - the scary parts aren't scary (or even remotely suspenseful), the dialogue is awful, the acting is questionable at best, and, I am very deplorable to say that Lindsay Lohan's stripping/ sex scenes were not sexy at all. On tiptop of everything else, the killer was obvious and the plot didn't even make a whole lot of sense. Even the quality of picture used is inferior to the type usually used (yes, you can tell).
Some films are so bad they're good. This picture was only SO BAD.
Don't look for the DVD. Just don't sentry information technology.

The Top Seventeen Ways I Knew Who Bluish Me
Alert: Spoilers
i. Unbelievably, it isn't a Writer'southward Guild violation to complete a screenplay on used toilet paper.
2. Encarmine stripper poles merely cannot be a plough on, simply, the evidence must keep.
3. In this case, yep, you would have to be a rocket scientist to sympathize this movie.
4. Even the Smurf movies didn't take this much blueish in it.
5. Fun medical fact #i: mitt sawed off? Finger mysteriously discrete? Wrap a towel around the stub and sometimes hold up above centre until the pain disappears and you're okay again. Annotation: sometimes two towels are needed.
six. Fun medical fact #2: Being buried live isn't all that bad. The average stigmata twin can survive hours with little to no air. Unfortunately, this really only applies to stigmata twins, so yeah, don't try this in your own backyard.
seven. When your daughter thinks she's a twin, prove her wrong with a ready-to-play video of just her in your womb earlier birth.
8. Ane of the Lohans states "Hospitals are for rich people" when she refuses assistance for her severed finger. Aye, rich people and idiots that don't know they help anyone regardless of wealth.
9. Wish my telephone battery lasted hours after its low-bombardment alert alerts me like the more than crucial bombardment did in this flick.
10. It's doubtful the best way to announce a classmate has been recovered dead over the PA and repeatedly is: "Jennifer Toland's body was found."
11. Also, don't ever, E'er, ask a teacher for details on your classmate's "found body." She honestly may not have too much more than to say than "Jennifer Toland'south body was institute" afterward the 1½ seconds of information she was given.
12. Maybe, in 2007, the world wasn't ready for the real Lindsay Lohan meltdown. No, non even with two Lohans.
xiii. And speaking of which, this is the tertiary time Lohan played two characters in the same moving picture after The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday. This probably explains a lot of her real life problems.
fourteen. Flashback to The Room and Birdemic with the split-second finding of Jerrod in a busy oversupply when one of the Lohans' been wished luck in tracking him down.
xv. If only this took place during summer vacation because y'all'd 1 helluva story/movie to tell the following yr.
sixteen. They accomplished Motion-picture show Cliché #158, or "set up a murder-mystery with tons of oh-sooo suspicious characters," so well, you tin can't have your optics off that devilish little hairless creature of a pet they accept and yet, never see again.
17. Mercifully, through the quicksand of a script, there were enough unintentionally hilarious scenes and facial expressions to at least keep the viewer awake.

Was this film a joke?
This flick was treacherous. I'thousand not sure if it was supposed to exist taken seriously or non. I'thou not sure if there was supposed to exist some sort of imagery or artfulness in the movie with a lot of blue, considering it turned out actually obvious and lame. Her car is blueish, the rose is blueish, the torture tools are blueish, BLUE BLUE Bluish. Lohan's acting is not wonderful in this film, not to mention the plot is horrendous. Most people probably take an involvement either because of seeing Lohan dance on a pole or to see Lohan with missing limbs. If that's what you're looking for this is the motion picture. Other than that, the plot is laughable and the film is only a full bosom in general. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, it'due south awful and a waste of time. 0/10.

as well demented for words!
I hated this movie every bit a adult female that has gone through domestic violence. And other things besides horrible to speak of. I can honestly say this is the worst movie about crimes against women I have ever seen in my life. What was going through the mind of the young man that directed this, piece of crap. This is my mom's opinion, of this horrific movie ! I too hated it as adult female myself, I found it repulsive and it should have never been fabricated into a movie! At all , information technology was so awful that we walked out . An asked for her money back, considering we couldn't tummy it . Due to the demented and graphic scenes! Anyone who likes this horrid piece of garbage! Needs their heads examined , to remember this motion-picture show is skillful! Obviously this director has a intense hatred confronting the reverse sex ! We requite it an F!

One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Alarm: Spoilers
This really is a terrible picture show. And I like terrible movies. This movie takes HUGE leaps of logic; I empathise that at that place must be some suspension of disbelief, only information technology was too disjunctured. At that place are withal scenes that I but don't empathize, like the listing and showing of some girl named Fiona with the other missing girls, the difficult to discern jumps through the timeline, and all the ruby herring, including the backyard boy, the "cuts happen" guy, the police psychiatrist, and the "I keep forgetting to plug it in" leg problem. This movie revolved effectually a adventure to showcase Lindsay Lohan every bit a sex symbol without her nudity (much like The New Guy did with Eliza Dushku, but without the entertaining plot line). It was respectable writing to make Dakota Moss so bold, especially with the linguistic communication, only it but wasn't plenty.
Realistically, with as inundated as the television/picture show-viewing public is almost forensic evidence, investigation, and biology (the worm-in-biology-class scene? Come up on...), a moving picture has to at least seem intelligent.
On a side note, I was desperately hoping that everything would be pulled nicely together by the guy on the passenger vehicle being the boyfriend/brother of "Fiona", which would be the daughter Dakota found in the glass coffin (Dressed to Kill was one of my favorite movies). Unfortunately, believing in "stigmatic twins" is the concluding bound over "Lohan is crazy", which might have turned into a decent catastrophe.
