I Know Who Killed Me (2007)

'I Know Who Killed Me' is an apparent attempt to make a Giallo, David Lynch and Lifetime movie all at the same time. This weird assemblage of parts is under the direction of Chris Silverton, whose been more then 20 years in the industry but hasn't made a single other film I've seen or even heard of, this project was beyound his abilities.

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
