Lizzie (2013)

Excellent adaptation.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I picked this up for almost free as new as it could be but i should have know that it means trouble. And it was, this flick isn't worth your time. The story is rather simple, it's a ghost story nothing more or less but it's done so laughable in effects that it almost becomes a comedy. And when the ghost is smashing heads with the axe it's never done that you could see some gore, for example when one person (Busey) is smashed with the axe we watch him from behind and you could see it was just a doll's head being smashed. But not only that, the transformation from normal to Lizzie is also done with cheap CGI effects. To make it even worse the acting is below zero. The possessed one never convinced me. Maybe the last minutes will offer a thing for the buffs here and there but by then it's all too late. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

93 minutes. 6045 heartbeats. 325.5 breaths. All these moments are forever lost in time. My IQ is down by 37%. It all comes down to a hideous retelling of some aspect of the Lizzie Borden tale, except this time someone gets squirted by Gary Busey. Yeah, do the math there. Busey's performance was dull and weak compared to his brilliant acting in "Wild in the Streets" (1968, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063808/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_163 ), which says a lot about the direction in this botched aneurysm of a movie. Sean Flynn is turning in his grave, as it seems pretty insulting that this production was dedicated to his memory. Perhaps he had amnesia. I would have enjoyed watching C-SPAN over this tripe. Spare yourself some torment and skip this movie, it's too late for me...

I'll give it two stars for Corbin Bernsen. He was pretty decent in the movie, in spite of the poor script. The movie starts with a lie...that Lizzy Borden fled her town after her acquittal. That's not true and there really is no reason to lie about it. It doesn't add or subtract anything from the movie. There's plenty of goofs...from the cameraman in the reflection of the TV screen when the cable guy comes to fix it...to a pair of legs facing Jason when he is exploring the shed. The new next door neighbor shows up the first two times in Lizzie's bedroom while she's sleeping and she's perfectly fine with that. Friendly town. When the maid reveals that she's actually Brigid from 1892...Lizzie is perfectly fine with that too. The acting is awful...I think Amanda Baker did the best she could with what she had...but Holt is awful and Gary Busey is terrible. Stay away...I wish I could have that hour and half back.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I watch A LOT of movies.The acting was horrible and the story made no sense at all. And what was up with her drinking all the time?? I would not recommend this movie to anyone. I rarely dislike any movie that I have seen, but this one is about one of the worse I have watched.There was no continuity, I didn't care if any of the characters lived or died, and I couldn't wait for the end so I could stop watching it! And yes, I watched it to the end hoping that it would redeem itself (which it didn't, needless to say).Thank God I watched it on Netflix, because if I had paid money for this movie, I would be very upset.
