The following review contains several spoilers!
I watched this relatively hard to find film last year after seeing the trailer and having some interest in the overall concept of the Lizzie Borden Urban legend.
The main character in the film is Cassy who is fixated on a woman called Lizzie Borden who many years previously was accused of the gruesome murders of her parents although she was never convicted of the crimes.
Cassy resides in the old house which Lizzie Borden and her family once lived and attends a college where she becomes friendly with a female professor who seems to take more than just a liking towards her!
A group of college students are carrying out a project on what really happened between Lizzie Borden and her family and the argument as to whether she did really kill her parents and if so her motives for doing so.
During this time Cassy is becoming more and more mentally unstable and she takes over the role of how Lizzie Borden was portrayed as a cold blooded killer, When prom night arrives Cassy kills the college students one by one and a few other characters in the film equipped with an ax as her main choice of weapon.
Cassy playing the killer is not very convincing although she does provide some comedy one liners which accumulates in a battle against one of the female college students!
This film for me did not have many horror elements in it, There were a few bloody kills although others could have been more realistic. The killer was more funny than scary and she never lost her temper as if killing was just like a walk in the park. I also think the killer's house could have been used more during some of the films final scenes.
I would give this film 5 out of 10 and would say that it is the best horror film in the Lizzie Borden series.
