Am I suppose to be laughing at a horror movie?? (spoilers maybe)


A few things that made me laugh during this movie:

1) The cable guy knocks - answer the door in your t-shirt and underwear and dont bother to wear a robe or anything for most of the duration of the visit!

2) Gerry Bednob's performance - goes to show that guy (40 Year Old Virgin) can act in anything and make it funny...hes awesome.

3) Lizzie (tearfully crying): "Mama! Mama!" (in real life, they said Lizzie hated her STEP mother, which Abby was, and that might have been a reason she was killed, if by Lizzie)

4) Gary Busey: "I squirted you!" Nuff said there.

5) When Lizzie is killing her father (Gary Busey) with an axe as he sits on the couch, you see his top of his head over the couch. The hair BOUNCES with each strike and gets more and more wild looking....I dont know, that part made me laugh out loud.

6) No one can get the wooden panel off the side of the house, even with an axe, but yet, as the cable guy said, thats where the cut cable is....how did they connect it in the first place if they cant get the panel off for years??

7) No connection with the Lizzie Borden story except for maybe the old doll? (Which I felt bad for during the movie - "that creepy ass doll" "that ugly doll" jeez people the doll is possessed and has feelings too, ya know lol)

8) Waking up and find the neighbor standing there with an axe by your bed and just say "Wow, you dont like to knock, do you?"

**9) Forgot to add that this has the longest drawn out scene of someone making coffee in a coffeemaker I have seen in a film or anywhere and I used to be a barista!
I think the filmmakers could take that (with its rocking music soundtrack) and put it out there as a very nice how to video on making coffee...just a suggestion!

Bad acting - bad script - bad FX - bad Gary Busey hair....if you wanna laugh, watch it on Netflix, but please dont spend your hard earned money on it by renting!

What about Lizzie's sister? There was some speculation that she might have done the murders.
If Lizzie did do the murders, I thought she was naked.

Also, the 'tragedy' happened in (according to the narrator) August 1892, she was jailed for 10 months.
Yet the appearance of this movie plays around our current time.
Wouldn't 'Lizzy' be like +100 years old then?


The mirror is fogged.
She didn't shower (she's fully dressed), so how did it get fogged?
