Lizzie Borden's Revenge

Lizzie Bordon's revenge is a B-slasher-movie that stars Veronica Ricci, Marlene Mc'Cohen, and Jenny Allford as the real-life titular character. It revolves around a group of sorority women. One of which, Leslie, just so happens to be the descendant of the Borden family. As such, the group, as an intentional joke, summon the spirit of Miss Borden. But all hell soon breaks loose as each of the young women are brutally murdered one by one.

Let me start off by saying that I am quite appalled by all the negative reviews the IMDB page is littered with; not only that, there is not one other positive review besides mine. That being said, I may very well be the only person on the page who legitimately finds this low-budget movie entertaining. Sure, it does contain some graphic nudity, but I should also mention that it does have an actual plot, and the acting itself is not half-bad.

Now the direction does leave much to be desired. But again, this is a low-budget slasher, so what do you expect? I really can't help but wonder if the makers of this running over all the audiences dogs is the reason for all the low ratings. Oh well, ignorance is bliss.

Breaking down the reason for 7 stars..

2 Stars for Mindy Robinson's out and about Mindys..

2 stars for Veronica Ricci's absolute hatred of clothing..

1 Star for Krystal Ellsworth's crazy sister portrayal... (and upskirt)

1 star Ginny You's Drunk performance.. method acting if I have ever seen it..

And last but not least 1 star for Bobby. Why is it Bobby's are always great characters... This guy had it all.. heroism, character development , one liners, one handed lock-picking, camera skills (more upskirting) ...

Similar to 2011 film Bloody Mary, also starring Veronica Ricci. This is a lower budget homemade type horror slasher not to be taken too serious considering it's low cheap looking special effects and subpar acting. There is slightly more depth to like about this film compared to Bloody Mary. Featuring a sorority group of women it was expected their to be a showcase of women showing skin. Skin mostly shown from Veronica Ricci and briefly from Mindy Robinson in a brief role (which was disappointing considering her character. She should have lasted longer).

Overall this is simply a non memorable cheap slasher with some urban tale revalating.

Unless it's softcore porn, excessive nudity of beautiful young women for no reason really doesn't have any business being in a movie categorized as horror. The difference with movies like Friday the 13th or Halloween is that the sex and nudity is symbolic to breaking sexual abstinence, the killer is the punishment for that. This movie was just replete with shameless nudity in a non-porn genre to the point that it almost could be classified as porn. On top of that, the movie looks cheap, the gore effects are terrible, and the acting is god awful. It's as if the director just rounded up the most attractive women who were willing to get naked for him on camera. What a hunk of crap.

Ah, yes. Dennis Devine.

To paraphrase Withnail, I watched this movie by mistake on YouTube, on a tablet, while waiting for a delayed flight.

As someone else asked: why?

As in: why are such movies made? Who bankrolls 'em? Do they make any money? What is the unseen, unknown part of the equation here? I do not see it, I certainly do not know it...

To me, this movie seems like something a bunch of (probably drunk) friends could have come together to make using an iPhone camera - as a joke. You know, as something they'd later show to other friends - as a joke.

But it ain't that. It's an actual movie production (such as it is). And I don't get it. Is it - specifically - made for people who watch movies whilst drunk or stoned? Is there a whole, separate market (demography) for such movies that I'm not aware of? But - if so - er...WHY (again)? Wouldn't it be cheaper and more sustainable for everyone involved if that demography just watched random YouTube clips of - I don't know - fat dudes on trampolines, cats slapping unaware dogs, soccer players accidentally getting kicked in the nuts, and so on?

How are movies like this a part of the movie industry in the post-Internet era? (I guess that's what I'm asking).

Fascinating phenomenon.
