Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This was, by far, one of the best nonsense comedy movies I've seen in a very long time. I was having a rather long day and this was just the refresher I needed before bed.Lizzy is a schizophrenic of some sort (or something?) who downs bottle after bottle of wine and then takes her medication and is confused by the "psychedelic" results. I have no idea what this movie was about, I'm pretty sure that when it says "based on true events" it means that the director and writers were drinking and taking pills too. Watching her stumble around the set in a dazed stupor, fall over onto the floor, then wake up, cry, drink some more, shout at random people and then drink and fall back asleep was just amazing. I especially loved the psychic cable repair guy! "You're stupid. Sexy and stupid." And his prediction was straight on the nose! How eerie is that!? She couldn't manage to get dressed through the entire movie because she was too drunk, and she was too stupid to stop drinking when she started seeing crazy things.Honestly, this is just the sort of movie anyone needs to watch after a long day. Highly Recommended!

The film starts with back story told in voice over narration with period 1892 articles such as newspapers and photographs. It then shifts to the present, say 2013, with what is going on with Lizzie Allen, both now and when she was much younger, say six years old. She has a therapist, Dr Fredericks, who uses hypnosis, not always with good results.Lizzie lives again in the house where she lived when she was a child. Dr Fredericks thinks something traumatic happened there when she was young. She's seeing daydreams and night dreams that are rather horrible. She has trouble remembering her childhood clearly.Ah, she used to have tea parties with a doll that survived the original Lizzie Borden era. She drinks a lot of wine and watches scary movies with the boy friend, and does not seem able to get her meds right. Then she sees (hallucinates) herself introducing the doll, Lucy, to her. Even worse, she sees the Lizzie Borden figure use an axe to kill her younger self.Dr Fredericks of course associates this with childhood memories and an attempt to resolve them in adulthood. The next day she goes off on the cable guy, has trouble shaving her legs safely, and hears things go bump in the night. Jason comes in as a masked burglar, and Lizzie does not take it well. Who would? Jason starts hearing the bump in the night; he gets out his stashed pistol and barely hides it in the living room.Maggie is Lizzie's new neighbor. She tries to help Lizzie break into part of the basement that the cable guy could not get to. They fail, but it gets Lizzie more comfortable swinging the axe that Maggie picked out. Jason manages to get into the basement, where he experiences more bump in the night phenomena. Dr Fredericks drops Lizzie as a patient, since she demands stronger meds, but will not confront her childhood issues.Maggie turns out not to be what she first said she was. Jason takes a turn for the worse, and Lizzie feels more and more alone. That is not the worst of it all.------Scores-------Cinematography: 5/10 Dark, generally with low contrast, or slightly out of focus. There's a bit of camera jump as well. SFX were laughable.Sound: 9/10 Fine.Acting: 2/10 Most of the minutes of the show have Amanda Baker alone or in frame. So the movie sinks or swims with her, and I don't believe her performance. Leif Holt is pretty bad as well. Corbin Bernson was fine, but he was not on screen all that much. Gary Busey has done much better in other movies.Screenplay: 0/10 The past and the present did not blend well here. For the movie to work, they did need to resolve clearly and effectively. The retelling of the 1892 story was not put together well either. The absurd ending was just too much.

Brilliant comedy! It starts off with an overly dramatic male voice reading a whimsically rhyming "true story" that had my family in giggles within minutes. The entire title sequence is an amusingly corny montage of "creepy" imagery and music and ending with an off-key chorus of "creepy" voices, and the entire movie just gets funnier from there. It's an over- the-top parody of a horror movie combined with some kind of dramatic soap opera. The cheesy dialogue, questionable continuity, utter lack of characterization, and hilarious overacting really make this film one of the greatest I have ever seen. My family and I were all in tears from laughing so hard, and not even halfway through the movie. I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants a good laugh with dinner!((Seriously though...this movie is truly awful. Yes, I was literally in tears from laughing so hard and I actually do recommend it if you've got the sense of humor for it.))

This is possibly the worst horror film I have ever watched. The overall acting was poor and the quality of the film was just not acceptable. As mentioned, the acting was terrible which was an automatic put off. I found myself cringing a lot at the acting when watching the film. It was truly awful.The actual story to the film never seemed to want to come together, it was as though it never wanted to build up any anticipation. I found myself waiting for the moment to be shocked or even scared but it never came at all. I was very disappointed and bored throughout the entire movie and I am positive that you will be as well.
