Critic Reviews

60 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.
50 Boston Globe
An intensely unpleasant killer-thriller mystery.
50 Washington Post
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.
38 TV Guide
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.
38 Chicago Tribune
The film suggests Lohan probably (allegedly) should've gone after her agent the other night, not the mother of an ex-personal assistant.
30 Chicago Reader
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.
30 Variety
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.
25 ReelViews
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.
16 The Onion (A.V. Club)
Having broken free of the Disney machine that molded her, Lohan now seems intent on destroying her career and credibility on her own terms.
12 New York Daily News
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.
10 The New York Times
Pretentious and inane.
0 Austin Chronicle
A gruesome whodunit that's missing more than a few brain cells.
0 Entertainment Weekly
A grisly piece of torture porn.
0 New York Post
Sony dumped this sleazy, inept and worthless piece of torture porn into theaters yesterday.
0 Premiere
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.
0 The Hollywood Reporter
There's a fresh candidate in the running for worst movie of 2007 honors.
