Leave your thoughts about The Legend of Lizzie Borden.
| User ReviewSonya TIt was a very thrilling movie. I particularly liked it because it was based off of a real murder. I think Elizabeth Montgomery did a great job playing a role completely opposite of her role on bewitched. |
| User ReviewPenny Blegend is what it is. still being talked in many regions of the country. |
| User ReviewChris KThis movie scared the shit out of me, only because it is based upon a true story. |
| User ReviewWK JElizabeth Montgomery does an excellent job. |
| User Reviewcindy mElizabeth Montgomery at her best. I saw this years ago and liked it then. |
| User Reviewfamiliar sIt's a traditional thriller except that it's based on real events. In fact, the movie claims that it's considered to be one of the most infamous and bizarre cases of the 19th century. Just because I'd never heard of it before doesn't change the fact. Putting aside the topic of my (never-ending) ignorance, while it might be considered well executed for a TV movie that released more than 35 years ago, it didn't suit my taste. Almost all the old-fashioned horror elements were present: an actress laughing loudly, behaving weirdly almost all the time, the sound of ticking of clocks, etc. It's kinda Montgomery's transformation to Psycho. Whatever it was, I failed to like it. Since it's "based on a true story", they could have put the creative license to better use. Some of the facts that are twisted don't do any good to the movie. Despite of its gritty subject, they should have added a few light moments. The lack of light moments was another let-down. The dialogues weren't effective either. The rhyme towards the end was exceptionally great, though. |
