I Know Who Killed Me, the 2007 horror mystery starring Lindsay Lohan is an interesting tale. More so interesting is the controversy surrounding it; released just weeks after Lohan's DUI arrest - the film, along with Georgia Rule, found itself released in a period where Lindsay Lohan was becoming a more so established tabloid staple than respected actress. With all the drama surrounding Lohan in this period, it was easy to hate on I Know Who Killed Me. Just as at the time of this publishing, it's quite easy to hate on anything Paris Hilton puts out regardless of quality.
But despite the bad rep this film has attained, it's actually not that bad. In fact, it's actually quite good. The film centers around Aubrey Fleming, a young and bright high school student who gets kidnapped by a sadistic serial killer. Days later police find the body of Aubrey - but she claims to be Dakota Moss, an orphaned runaway now turned exotic dancer, and insists that the real Aubrey is still in danger.
The film is a big puzzle itself, and a decent mystery. The director also uses colors as symbols, with Blue representing Aubrey, and Red representing Dakota. Throughout the film the two colors are displayed, and it's visually beautiful.
Often relying on the torture porn aspect, the film at times uses the horror formula of gore, but I Know Who Killed Me isn't just a throwaway torture flick, it's actually pretty smart if you bother to set aside any biases you may already have for Lohan or the film itself. If anything, the film gets credit for being original in a sea of constantly recycled remakes and sequels in the horror genre.

You'll be surprised at who killed her

4 of 5 stars for the suspense thriller I Know Who Killed Me. Lindsay Lohan stars in this movie about a crazed guy who like to kill people. Lohan is one of his victims, but, she has a story to be told--who killed her. She returns to her life as a different person. Yeah, a bit confusing, but, interesting. A well made movie with a good plot. It keeps you guess right til the end. A big surprise twists the last 20% of the movie into something very unexpected. This movie is loaded with adult content and images, some very graphic scenes that are not for the weak of stomach. A good movie, well worth the watching. The Blu-Ray was lacking in extra contents compared to other movies.

Good Story line and great characters just you never actually understand why the person is doing it.

So i watched this movie 3 times now... and i could watch it another 8 times. I have no idea why but i like this movie a lot. Well for starters, I love the cover box art and that right there is always a plus. I liked Lindsay Lohan in Just My Luck and other such films so what the heck you know? I loved the blue color effect throughout the movie. Blue is one of my fav. colors and it reminded me of Sin City, where the certain color stood out while the rest was all black and white..... The pole dancing was always fun to watch and the movie in general is
good enough to be seen at least once by everyone.

I'm kind of impartial
Added 10/4/2009
I think this film was unfairly branded a disaster right from the start because the star, Lindsay Lohan, is more known for being a real-life tranwreck than anything else. But the truth is, I don't mind her as an actress, and she's actually fairly competent in a role that could easily turn into parody and undermine the "heavyness" of what the story is all about. I also thought Julia Ormand was great as the concerned and confused mother.
The plot was interesting, and kept me engaged until the very end, though in the process managed to throw a few curveballs that I felt were unsubstantiated and meant only to make the viewer more confused. It also seemed like the scenes of Lindsay dancing in the strip joint went on forever. I guess a lot of guys wouldn't complain, lol, but it seemed pretty gratuitous anyhow, even if there was no actual nudity. It's like, we get it, you're low class, now move on. Lastly, there was a general "made for tv" feeling about the whole thing, suggesting the budget was limited. That didn't affect the performances, but some of the graphic effects came off as corny.
In the end, I'm impartial to the movie. I found it in the bargain bin at a chain store, and it was worth watching once for the price. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to recommend it, but I also felt like I needed to defend it against the people who said it was the epitomy of bad film-making. Rest assured there is certainly worse stuff out there than this little movie.
