LA Weekly Jim Ridley
In short, it’s a gift-wrapped part for Lohan, who plays her good-girl/bad-girl role with wit and an air of sly calculation.

Boston Globe Ty Burr
An intensely unpleasant killer-thriller mystery.

Washington Post Stephen Hunter
Lohan brilliantly brings off her double turn and clearly believes in the picture, as do all who worked on it. These things used to be called B movies in the old days.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The most shocking thing about this ludicrous serial-killer shocker, released the week troubled 21-year-old former child star Lindsay Lohan was arrested on DUI and cocaine-possession charges, is that it's the kind of film actresses generally make when their careers are well and truly on the skids.

Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
The film suggests Lohan probably (allegedly) should've gone after her agent the other night, not the mother of an ex-personal assistant.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones
The troubled star writhes her way through a red-lit pole dance in the opening credits and shrieks her way through a prolonged torture-porn sequence; after those lurid turns the movie settles into an indifferent mystery plot as the cops pressure the girl to help them find the culprit.

Variety Joe Leydon
Much like the ongoing real-world meltdown of its troubled star, Lindsay Lohan, I Know Who Killed Me is a disaster that exerts a perverse fascination.

ReelViews James Berardinelli
Unless you derive pleasure from watching Lohan being tortured, there's no reason to subject yourself to this movie. Besides, if that's your goal, all you have to do is turn on tabloid TV. There's Lindsay's living hell of a life, being broadcast 24/7.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
Having broken free of the Disney machine that molded her, Lohan now seems intent on destroying her career and credibility on her own terms.

The truth is, no review could really do justice to the monumental trashiness of this mess; it really has to be seen to be believed. Although if Lohan is lucky, no one will bother.

Sony dumped this sleazy, inept and worthless piece of torture porn into theaters yesterday.

Premiere Glenn Kenny
I can’t say I was too surprised by how risible, grotesque, and incoherent I Know Who Killed Me is. But I can’t say I was prepared for its pretentiousness. If the picture has any use at all, it’s as a case study in what happens when the talentless attempt to emulate the inspired.

Matt K gave it a1:
Just checked this out on Starz. It's as bad as they say. The direction is horrible. All of the bright blues and reds are a desparate attempt at mystery and artistry, but it looks so astonishingly cheap that it starts to feel like a sixteen-year-old's MySpace page (OMG, it's all in black and white...except blue! How did you do that???). It completely destroys any tension. The scenes were strung together with the finesse of a high school student on iMovie. One scene drags along a police station, showing "MISSING" flyers and all of the cops in the station, only to pan to the sheriff who makes some smartass comment about bingo night as the scene is fading to black. This was the turning point for me---this was not just any average bad movie, this was a clunker for the ages. I won't get in to the twin stigmata crap, the absurd finale, the awful acting, and the terrible script that brought it all to fruition. For all of those who defend this awful, awful film, perhaps you just need to see what a good film like this looks like: go rent Seven. Everything about it is exponentially better. Seriously.

Devon S gave it an8:
A very unique homage to those cheesy horror stories about a pretty girl being abducted by a serial killer. What this movie adds is an awesome twist, a creative color effect, and some (surprisingly) great acting.

John gave it a10:
I think this movie is a true testament to just how talented Linday Lohan is. I though it was great and it definitely doesn't deserve all those zeros. A gripping, spellbinding movie from start to finish, this is not a movie to be missed..... Neither is the pole dancing scene woth Lohan in her underwear, that's worth it alone.

Daniel S. gave it a1:
Many things can sink even the most earnest movie including an inane plot, over-the-top acting, a dreadful script or pretentious direction. This one's got it all.

Amy N. gave it a10:
A deeper story then most realise.

[Anonymous] gave it a6:
Pretty good, it is a little disturbing but i do think that the actors did a great job acting. it dosen't deserve the terrible marks it got. it is not an oscar but not a razzie either. it is ok. but i would only suggest to see this on dvd.

Chris S. gave it a3:
Semi-passable acting and decent visual effects don't save the horrible plot that falls apart less than 15 minutes into the movie.
