Review of Lizzie

Lizzie (2012)
10/10
Deliciously Disturbing
1 August 2012
You are guaranteed to have a great time watching this flick. It starts strong and it ends strong. For those of you interested in the horror/thriller genres, add this to your list. It's good popcorn fun, a little jolt to fill one of your nights. Parts of it scared the crap out of my wife and me.

The writer cleverly blends historical fiction with an axe in the face. By giving Lizzie amnesia, the writer (or writers, I can't remember), puts the viewer in Lizzie shoes. As she discovers things about her sordid past, we discover things about her sordid past. The things she unveils are probably a bit more grizzly than the things the common viewer stuffs in his mental basement. Also, those of you who love Corbin Bernsen and Gary Busey will be pleased. Their performances are not wasted.

I give it a 10 based on my pure enjoyment. It won't win any Oscars, but neither do most enjoyable flicks.
