Lindsay Lohan just can't catch a break, said Elizabeth Weitzman in the New York Daily News. Fresh out of rehab, the 21-year-old actress and party girl was recently arrested for drunken driving and cocaine possession. But her misfortune didn't end there—last weekend also saw the release of her new movie, I Know Who Killed Me. Even Lohan's glassy-eyed mug shot 'œwas made with more skill than this bottom-of-the-barrel B-movie.' Directed by 'œbudding Brian De Palma' Chris Sivertson, the movie is a supernatural mystery trimmed with torture porn, said Ty Burr in The Boston Globe. Lohan plays Aubrey, a virginal teen abducted by a serial killer. When she wakes in the hospital as a double amputee, Aubrey is no longer Aubrey, she's a stripper named Dakota. This means 'œwe get to see Lohan pole-dance lewdly and have wild amputee sex while keeping just enough clothes on to cover her career.' Lohan's acting actually isn't so bad in I Know Who Killed Me, said Glenn Kenny in Premiere.com. But she should fire her agent for allowing her to star in this disgusting 'œthriller' at all. Sivertson and screenwriter Jeffrey Hammond's clumsy attempts at David Lynch–style symbolism (a blue rose for Aubrey, a red one for Dakota) and idiotic plot twists make the film 'œa case study in what happens when the talentless emulate the inspired.'
