Couldn't sleep last night, saw the writeup on the cable guide and thought why not. Here's why: Lindsay Lohan is terrible. I didn't buy her in blue or red. I found her Dakota utterly predictable and pathetic. She's a fox, but couldn't arouse a 14 year old with that pole dance. The plot is terrible. Ludicrous even. Holes everywhere and makes zero sense. Shame really, the premise has a lot of promise. Preppy teen gets abducted by serial killer and wakes up in the hospital believing she is a character in one of her own stories. So much potential here, but this movie fails to deliver on every level. It wasn't scary, it wasn't sexy, it wasn't suspenseful, and it wasn't entertaining. Lindsay Lohan has become a bad actor in bad movies. What a waste.

Unfairly trashed as Z grade torture porn, Chris Sivertson's canny thriller is actually one of the nuttiest artsploitation flicks ever churned out by the Hollywood machine. Tabloid trainwreck Lyndsay Lohan flamed out in a spectacular fashion last year and among the collateral damage was the reputation of this star vehicle, which made a virtual sweep of the Razzie Awards for 2007. Apparently taking his cues from influences as diverse as Lynch (the black humor and surrealism), DePalma (the emotional pitch and film brat references), Cronenberg (the body horror) and Kieslowski (doppelgangers), Sivertson plunges the surprisingly game Lohan into a deliriously baroque, color-coded world of adoloescent anxiety and virgin/whore hysterics. With appearances by Art Bell, a hairless cat, stigmatic twins, a rechargeable prosthetic limb and Lohan's deliciously scuzzy poledancing, it's all here--including the film's unforgettable catchphrase cum motto "Everybody gets cut." Darkly funny, off-kilter, scary, sometimes poignant, always disreputable and sleazy, I Know Who Killed Me deserves a second look, HFS style. Don't miss it!

This movie touched American hearts at their core. Whether it be the acting, reminiscent of a female Gary Grant, or the story, closely related to those Star Wars flicks and Bring It On: In It to Win It, there is something in this movie for the whole family. Buy some popcorn, gather with granny, and set phazers to FABULOUS, this film with succeed all expectations and take viewers on a whirlwind adventure through time, space, and Lindsay's appendages. A can't miss.

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.
