This is a Lizzie Borden knock off written for a, ahem, modern... audience. It's got everything... panda love; unrequited girl love; strong, independent, dont-need-no-man women... about the only thing it DOESN'T have is any entertainment value.
The few males that are in this are there as nothing more than ancillary afterthoughts. They don't speak, except when spoken to, and even then, it's only as subordinates.
The girl is seventeen, yet she goes off to a bed and breakfast to spend the night with her darker boyfriend. The lady running the place doesn't bother asking for ID.
Her female friend is so jealous of the girl being with a boy instead of her that, when she's not playing with herself under the covers and rubbing up on a dress, she takes to cutting.
The husband of the murder victim (this happens in the first few minutes, so no spoiler) couldn't care less that his wife is missing/dead.
Oh, there is a ghost... I think? But the ghost/spirit/whatever has absolutely NO bearing on the story whatsoever. Just another character thrown in as an after thought.
All of this and what really bothered me so much is that for the first ten minutes, there is not a single word of dialog. But then again... after listening to the dialog that WAS there... maybe the whole movie would have been better off if it'd ALL been silent. :shrug:
Do yourself a favor and skip this. There are plenty of GOOD Lizzie Borden movies out there.
