Director: Chris Sivertson
Starring: Lindsay Lohan, Neal McDonough, Julia Ormand,
This mystery/horror is original, but far-fetched and punctuated with highly sexualized scenes with Lohan and a high level of brutal violence. The story starts out adequate, but slowly slips away. Lohan is a decent young actress, although she mostly seems to play the same highly sexualized teenager with a bad attitude. Still, she does have some talent which should help her to make a comeback once she has hit rock bottom in her personal life and tries to make her way back into the Hollywood limelight. This clearly a vehicle for the young star, and she could have chosen something stronger.
Lindsay Lohan plays a happy student named Aubrey Fleming whose idyllic existence is destroyed when she is captured by a sadistic serial killer (even by Hollywood standards).
The story’s takes a twist when she found alive, but claims to be a different girl named Dakota Moss. Her mother (Julia Ormand) and father (McDonough) struggle to be supportive, while Aubrey/Dakota tries to figure out what happened to her.
This one is pretty mediocre fare that I can only recommend for non-discriminating fans of violent mysteries, or one of Lindsay’s legion. I have seen worse, but there are better choices out there.
