Title: I Know Who Killed MeDirector: Chris Sivertson
Starring: Lindsay Lohan
Runtime: 105 minutes
Year: 2007
Source: Work
Being sick and heavily medicated leaves me to watch anything laying around, against my better judgement. At least this is my excuse for watching I Know Who Killed Me.
Lindsay Lohan played the role of Aubrey Fleming, a smart pianist/writer? She's well liked and a typical 'good girl' who is polite and doesn't put out. Talk about a tough time Ms. Lohan must of had to pull that off.
Right after the local football team [fronted by Aubrey's boyfriend] takes the win, they all head out for a night on the town. Somehow in the crowd, Aubrey gets seperated from her friends and goes missing.
This is following the recent discovery of a body of a girl that went missing a few weeks prior. She is found with various limbs missing and seemed to of drowned. In no time Aubrey's body is found and missing a few body parts of her own. Except Aubrey is claiming to be someone entirely different, she's claiming to be a stripper named Dakota.
The movie isn't all that believable, nor is it really all that likable. At times, they shove information at you, at other times it's slow paced and drawn out but for no real reason. I must say, Lohan is an alright actress, especially during the torture scenes [which by the way are straight up punch-in-the-gut torture] and I think if given the proper role, she might excel with this whole acting thing.
The end is kind is kind of messy and the loose ends aren't all tied up. But by the time you are half way done the movie, you are laughing at the terrible way it's all laid out. Quite a few "Are you serious?" moments followed by more laughter.
But hey, if you really hate Lohan [which is silly], you can see her cry and scream out in pain and with a gruesome amputation that's done in quite the unique way. On the other hand, if you really like Lohan and want to see her strip for a few minutes at a time even if the stripclub scenes are boring and PG13, which could of been it's only saving grace in the eyes of some.
Not recommended.

I do hate Lohan - I shall check it out. You seen 30 Days Of Night yet? I'd love your opinion on my review.
Maybe it was just due to all of the terrible reviews I had read going into this, but I thought it was fine. It's not a very good movie by any means, but it's also not the terrible pile of dung that everyone made it out to be.
The twist at the end is fairly suprising even though like you said they don't tie everything up. I also found it hillarious when Lohan asks her mom if it's possible she's a twin? If you're asking the mother, wouldn't that be just a simple yes or no question, not a possibility? Well, sweetie, I guess I could have had twins.
If it ever gets a release of any kind, the director, Chris Siverstein's first film, "The Lost," is pretty damn good. Like the recent "Girl Next Door," it's based on a Jack Ketchum novel. I dont' know how much horror fiction you read, but Ketchum is definitely worth checking out.
Johnskibeat- I watched 30 Days of Night last month [or was it the month before?] Anyway, the review is around here somewhere. ;)
Jonathan - I thought the the whole asking mommy dearest if she may of had twins was laugh worthy, same as when she looks up all surprised and says, "I know who killed me!" Uh, you are still alive, no? Silly girl. I've heard of the book The Lost, just haven't come across it yet. I tend to read a ton in the summer and watch movies like mad in the winter. I'll add it to my list of books to read, thanks.
Have you watched The Girl Next Door yet?
