Review – I Know Who Killed Me

So is torture porn okay if Lindsay Lohan plays the victim? Maybe not if it had been the whole movie, but fortunately the screaming-and-mutilation scenes in this one are relatively brief. The bulk of the picture is devoted to the strange tale of Audrey, a suburban princess (Lohan) kidnapped by a sadistic killer. She escapes his clutches minus an arm and a leg, but the weird part is that now she’s convinced that she’s actually a teenage stripper named Dakota. As she awkwardly adapts to her “new” surroundings, she tries to unravel the mystery of how she got away from her tormentor and why she now believes she’s someone else. The solution to the riddle is revealed early enough in the picture that the audience can at least hope that nothing that dumb will actually turn out to be the answer. Overall this picture reminded me of The Hottie and the Nottie in that it was reviled by critics and audiences alike despite not being all that much worse than most other movies in the sub-genre. See if desperate
