A notorious flop which took in less then half what it cost to make and has a rather pathetic 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It is arguably the film that killed Lindsay Lohan's career. In an attempt to break from her Disney past Lohan plays a stripper, and also a high school student abducted by a serial killer, though these maybe the same person experiencing a psychotic break.
A fascinatingly inept piece of film making, it plays almost like the story was made up on the fly. It's strangeness, It's pure "off" quality retained my interest, at a certain point reaching a manic crescendo that was almost delightful. Ultimately what we get is a dark re-imagining of 'The Parent Trap' by way of 'Silence of the Lambs'. This movie was awful, but I plan on seeing it again. *1/2
