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.

There's a fresh candidate in the running for worst movie of 2007 honors.

Lauren D. gave it a10:
I loved this movie!! i plan on going to buy it..the people that are giving zeros are pathetic. they wouldn't know a good movie if it hit them in the face. the plot was excellent and i think Lindsey did a great job at the role..I love it!

Frasier M. gave it a6:
Did this movie deserve to be in theatres? No. Was this the best movie? No. Was it entertaining? Yes!!! This movie is actually okay if you pay attention to it. The acting was pretty good. And it doesn't deserve all these zeros.

[Anonymous] gave it a6:
This movie is such a big mess but i liked it a little.

Keith J gave it an8:
It probably doesn't deserve an 8, but it doesn't deserve all those zeros, either. You guys need to get over yourselves. As for the movie, these are the elements it combines: a trippy, late-night-TV type semi-supernatural mystery; grotesque torture of a pretty girl; and 3 minutes of Lindsay Lohan pole-dancing in her underwear. That's extended to 5 minutes on the DVD. Decide for yourself if it's worth it based on that info. Personally, the torture stuff leaves me cold, but I can forgive a lot in return for 3 to 5 minutes of Lohan in her underwear.

Hariz L. gave it a2:
The plot sounded promising at first, but it disappoints because at the end, it actually relies only on a ridiculous internet myth. The plot is therefore not substantiated. Lindsay's acting is passable. The only thing that saves this movie from a perfect zero score is perhaps her pole-dancing.

Robert H. gave it a0:
An early contender for the Razzies.

Jared C. gave it a10:
Lindsay Lohan stays in this kind of role and shall not immediately transport back to ckicky flick's. This is a movie that captivates you, and has you hooked till the very end. Do not skip this, this is a very good movie.
