Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Christina Ricci actually did a pretty good job.Excellent sets, great costuming, etc. The problem is the music. Absolutely ruins it. I really don't get why Hollywood continually adds rock music to period movies. They really need to stop this. It had great potential. I do have to say, if Christina Ricci's portrayal of this woman is correct, then Lizzie Borden was nuts and she did murder her parents. Then again, they have been trying to find the murderer for over 100 years. Likely they will never know.

This has all the hallmarks of a made for Lifetime movie, with pauses where the commercials should have gone, tame TV quality gore scenes, and no nudity. And when I looked it up, yes, it was Lifetime.Lifetime, where actress' careers go to die.Now, the only reason why I point this out is because the way that they marketed this was to make it look like it was going to be a slasher movie. But really, it's about as tame as a movie about ax murders could possibly get. Oh, yeah, and that soundtrack! What were they thinking?Anyway, this movie recounts the murder, and Ricci comes off as kind of psychotic in the role. They also imply a incestuous relationship between Lizzie and her father.Beyond that, the kind of tripe you expect out of a Redbox.

I just finished watching this movie and i thought it was a really great production for lifetime TV movie. I actually think it could've been released in theatre's.The acting was well done. This movie was also very good at maintaining suspense.the only criticism was some of the music they chose which was not suited for the era this movie was set in.I read some other posts on here that agree about the music but i don't think bad music should create so much negativity on what looked like a good production overall.Having said that...the reasons why my views on this movie might be more positive than others is becausei watch a lot of lifetime movies and felt as though this film was much better than the typical lifetime TV movie.i never watched the original movie made in the 1975 with Elizabeth Montgomeryi haven't followed the original case so i didn't have any ideas on what or how this movie should be like. so if you are like me... and come into the movie without any idea about this case or the history of it. you might enjoy it.

I think the movie was mostly a rehash, nothing really new and what was new is news to me--seems fictional. The acting was OK, I suppose. The music was the thing that really impressed me: it gave the movie this dazed, Thorazine-grunge effect. It WAS inappropriately placed in a sense, but to me that added to the surrealness of the movie. I mean, it needed something....I think the box that warns me about being blacklisted for putting a spoiler out there is humorous. Would I really be blacklisted for telling what happened in this movie? Titanic? Hindenburg?There, that's my 10 lines. Whew.
