Lizzie (2012)
1/10
Truly One of the Most Horrible, Awful, Terrible, Pointless, and Convolulted Films Ever Made
11 October 2013
Warning: Spoilers
There are several things wrong with this movie: 1) The plot makes no sense. 2) Things that happen are largely not explained. 3) When someone is swinging an axe, stand well away from them. 4) Weakly hitting a door with an axe a few times won't make it open. 5) Why wasn't Lizzie Allen freaked out when she awoke to see Maggie standing in her room holding an axe? 6) Why wasn't Lizzie Allen weirded out when Maggie/Bridget let herself into the house the first time? 7) Doesn't everyone know not to mix alcohol and medications? 8) We never learn what the deal is with the creepy old doll. 9) Why was there a random sex scene for a few seconds? Do breasts make a movie better? 10) Could the props department have chosen a more annoying alarm clock? 11) Why have Maggie/Bridget show up wearing a turn-of-the-century maid's costume? 12) What was the purpose of Jason being possessed by Lizzie Borden's mother? 13) How could Lizzie Allen not know her own address? That's just stupid! 14) Also, the police department wouldn't answer right away, and an address search would not be instantaneous. 15) So, are the ghosts of the Lizze Borden tragedy doomed to repeat their last moments for all eternity? Is that what we're supposed to glean from this sequence? 16) Gary Busey? Really?! He's certainly crazy enough to play the role very well. 17) So, Lizzie Allen sees Maggie/Bridget being raped and simply leaves the room? 18) Mr. and Mrs. Borden don't wield the hatchet with enough force to cause the bad special effects blood spray that results. Super lame! 19) The special effects are laughable, amateur, and shoddily done at best. 20) The Lizzie Borden house has not been a private residence in decades. No one could live there in modern times. 21) Continuity: Maggie/Bridget was NEVER wearing a yellow shirt in any of the scenes until her body is found on the floor. 22) With a neck wound like Jason's there would be more bleeding, spatter, etc. 23) Was the gun there the whole time? 24) Who would keep a gun in a certifiably crazy woman's house? 25) The ending montage makes no sense at all. 26) Shooting oneself in the head would leave bits of brain matter plastered to the wall, not just low viscosity blood. 27) Why would Lizzie Allen's father be missing an eyeball? 28) Lizzie Borden was acquitted of murder, so why does she say, "Society will pay?" That makes no sense whatsoever. 29) Lastly, a corpse cannot be possessed. Furthermore, why would Lizzie Borden's ghost want to possess Lizzie Allen's corpse in the first place.

Seriously, do not waste your time with this atrociously bad piece of garbage. You will never get those two hours of your life back, and you will be really angry about it.
