An idyllic small town is rocked when Aubrey Fleming, a bright and promising young woman, is abducted and tortured by a sadistic serial killer. When she manages to escape, the traumatized girl who regains consciousness in the hospital insists that she is not who they think she is and that the real Aubrey Fleming is still in mortal danger.

I Know Who Killed me may have one of the most deceptive trailers to ever. Why is this bad, because the movie is most definitely not everyone’s cup of tea and by having a trailer that in no way actually portrays what you are about to see many people will be easily turned off by the movie. I came in expecting a fun mystery/thriller where you try to figure out what is going on and while I did get that throughout some of the movie, the movie would probably fall into the new sub genre “torture porn.” And I absolutely despise “torture porn” movies because they have no originality and rather try to pass their lack of story off with scenes of grotesqueness and titillation. It’s a mixture of sex and depravity mixed together in a bloody mess that is not entertaining, and is the last thing in the world that I want to see.

The trailer does not let you know what your about to get yourself into and rather plunges you into is grotesque storyline and in my case angering you and sickening you at the same time. I have given up on these movies, I just don’t find them fun to watch, I do not want to squirming in my seat as some depraved director delights in throwing up scene after scene of depravity. It’s not story telling, it’s not character development, it does not further the plot and it does not need to be in the movie. All these scenes could be done off screen with just as much effectiveness and without making their audience want to throw up. We do no need to see this, we do not want to see this and we purposely avoid any movie that uses torture porn as an excuse for creativity and that’s why I am angry that I got tricked into seeing another piece of crap like I Know Who Killed Me.

The movie does have potential there is times where there is an actual story and like a piece of gold lying in a garbage can where the movie looks like it could actually be good. But then the directors and screenwriters decide to throw one more piece of garbage in the mitten heap that is the movie and that glimpse of gold is lost and you almost forget that the movie could have possibly been good rather than an utter piece of garbage. It’s not the worst torture porn I have seen that still belongs to Hostel but its still pretty bad and the ending is a little bit silly.

There was a time when Lindsay Lohan was the cute girl next door, that image has long faded. Even ignoring all her off screen drug and alcohol problems she no longer looks like that cute girl next door. Heck all the hard partying and drug use might be the reason she just no longer looks so innocent. The movie is a mixed bag for her because while she fits the persona of Dakota the slutty gogo dancer she can’t even come close to pulling of the innocent high schooler anymore. I was surprised that she didn’t go topless for the movie as it seems the next logical step into her plunge into darkness but she does keep her clothes on even though she has a dirty sex scene later on in the movie. The sad thing is that she could probably be a pretty good actor if she could get pass all the off screen problems that are starting to seep into her on screen performances. But the movie was a waste of time and tries to pass it off as something that it was not, namely good.
