Lindsay Lohan made a bid for stardom in a grown-up role with this overripe thriller, in which a serial killer's attack causes her personality to shift from model student to sultry stripper. The burlesque queen (named Dakota) may or may not be the subject of a writing exercise by student Aubrey, but once the latter is abducted and mutilated by a vicious killer, the former takes over, much to the consternation of Aubrey's parents (Julia Ormond and Neal McDonough). Director Chris Sivertson (who proved his knack for suspenseful material with The Lost) works hard to gild the nonsensical script with as much visual panache as possible (and he's mostly successful), but there's no getting past the dreary violence or Lohan's performance, which flounders in its attempt to deliver raw sexuality. Lohan's off-screen difficulties helped sink the picture during its brief theatrical run; undoubtedly, her stage routines (which are featured in an extended version on the disc's extras) will be the DVD's chief point of interest, as the movie itself is too flimsy to draw much attention on its own. The supplemental features also include an alternate opening and conclusion (which add nothing to the final product) and a blooper reel. -- Paul Gaita

Product Description
Aubrey Fleming (Lindsay Lohan) was living the small town life, until the day she was abducted by a sadistic killer. After a frantic search, Aubrey turns up alive, but changed. She is missing limbs, but has gained a new personality - that of bad girl Dakota Moss. Her parents and the FBI think she’s suffering from delusions, but if Dakota is just a trick of her mind, why do strange wounds keep appearing on her body? Desperate and alone, Aubrey must now unlock family secrets to unmask a mysterious killer with a deadly obsession.
There are many reasons for my 1-star rating, which is something I don't normally do. Prior to this I only rated a movie 1-star three times before and I also very rarely rate a movie 5-stars even if I loved the movie. While there are a couple of 2-star reviews that I think this movie might be better than the reason I give this one star is simple; I Know Who Killed Me attempts to be an intelligent and clever thriller, but instead ends up being idiotic.
Right now the reviews out there are quite bad and you might ask yourself is it really that bad? Well and yes and no. This isn't the worst movie of the year, but it's still really bad. The thing is the movie tries to be smart and it fails. Also there are a few ways you can see this movie on what actually happened, I cannot get into detail as it would ruin the movie, but who really cares if this is spoiled? But I still won't get into detail, but the problem is the movie is so horribly presented most of these things will be lost on you unless you pay full attention and well that's quite tough to do.
Right now Lindsey Lohan is getting a lot of heat and personally I thought the negative reviews were due to that. I wasn't expecting a great movie, but a better one than I got. But the reviews are mostly legit this was a bad movie. About the only good thing I can say is the stripping scenes by Lohan only she's not naked. How can you make a movie about a stripper and not show her nude? Regardless when that is the only good thing about the movie you know there is trouble.
Writer Jeffrey Hammond wrote a terrible screenplay. He tries to be smart and fails all the way. The script is idiotic and the characters are mostly terrible. They have no depth and well nothing going for them. If not for casting some semi-known actors you wouldn't remember who was who. The idea wasn't bad, but so horribly written. The investigation was the weakest parts.
Director Chris Sivertson fails at brining any suspense or tension, but in fairness he didn't have much of a script to work with. In film it's more about the director, while in TV it's more about the writing, but you still need a passable script and in TV need a decent director. Quite honestly Alfred Hitchcock could have directed this and ok maybe the movie would have been better, but still would be a total mess. The visual look was interesting and the use of colors were some what interesting, but it seems like Chris Sivertson was trying to a little Argento, don't try it. You aren't him. The final act where it was more suspense was really week. There was no sense of pacing at all, while the final act wouldn't salvage the movie it could have at least shown some potential the movie had. I would be open to seeing another movie by Chris Sivertson to see what he is capable of. He was failed by a script and there was no way he could save the movie.
The acting was fairly decent; there were some good actors here, but none have anything interesting to say, but do their best on selling it. Gregory Itzin surely could do better than this. He's been around for a while, but recently his star rose from playing Charles Logan on the hit show 24. Thankfully his role was small, shame to see such a talented actor like him stuck here.
Lindsey Lohan takes a lot of heat and honestly I think a lot of it is personal. Remember when Lindsey first started to make a name for herself? She was the cute kid with potential, than the cute teenager with potential, but once she got a little wild the media turned on her and made her into a villain and sadly the public buys into it. What Lindsey Lohan does on her own time is her business; judge her acting based on her performance and not her private life. Lindsey does well here and I think has potential to be an excellent actress in the future, but she just has to get on the right track. It seems these days she's famous for being famous. But the girl does have talent and hopefully she doesn't blow it.
Again I think Lindsey Lohan gave a good performance, but she took on the wrong role. I understand she wants to break away from the roles she was doing, but this wasn't the movie to do that with.
In closing, I Know Who Killed Me is a lousy flick that tries to be clever and intelligent and fails at every level.
I know who killed my Sunday night...About two thirds into the movie my boyfriend and I are trying to figure out if this was some kind of joke. EVERYTHING about the film towards the end (the 'twist', the cheesy horror music, the acting - and yes that does get worse, etc) is so thrown together and amazingly awful that any merit the first hour could have given the movie is shot. It was like the director ran out of money and just threw together something so he could technically have a movie. I don't even want to try to understand the point of this film or if there was any artistic value in it. I basically think the point was for Lohan to parade around on stage doing a number much resembling Britney Spear's Gimme More video and people would pay to watch it because she was in it. Obviously I am disappointed because it did begin with much promise. I am just amazed somebody thought this was okay to release to the public.
Even though this movie tanked at the box office, it is actually a nice change from the recent horror/slasher flicks that have come out in the past few years. I'd say it stands above most of them. The biggest reason is that it appears to be in the same formula, but turns out to be a completely different and unique concept. The atmosphere was provocative and Lindsay Lohan actually did a nice job of embodying her character. Even if you're leery due to the poor box office performance, check it out just in case you're like me and wind up loving it!
