A curio of a movie, chiefly of interest because Lindsay Lohan trashes it up in the lead role, but also because of it's way out concept - a writing student (Lohan) is abducted and tortured by a serial killer, turns up in a ditch sometime later... claiming to be a stripper and not the student. What then follows doesn't lack imagination but it does lack logic, common sense and believability - there's long lost twins, stigmata, and angry music teachers.
Lindsay isn't exactly in good form - she's phoning it in a lot of the time, although it is fun to see her do a pole dance and sex scene with a bewildered boyfriend (she seems most relaxed on screen in bed having a cigarette after sex); there's no nudity here, though. She's backed by a surprisingly strong support cast including Julia Ormond and Neal McDonough.
There are also some interesting visual flourishes and use of lighting and at least it's entertainingly insane with its plotting. The torture made me uncomfortable though and meant this wasn't fun to watch all the time.
