Being very familiar with this case, I went in thinking this Film should be better than the 1975 TV Movie Starring the late Elizabeth Montgomery "The Legend of Lizzie Borden" but it was not. That said did find it to be visually arousing and graffic, yet somewhat confusing the way the story jumps around. Bravo to the Actors, deserved a bit better script and direction. Violence in 1892 perceived much different than now ?
