Review of Lizzie (2018) by Brent H — 15 Feb 2018

Lizzie is heavily influenced by old-school horror flicks, with the soundtrack emphasizing the creaks and groans of the ancient house and the soft glow of a candle turning a hallway into a mass of imposing shadows, and Macneill's slow-burn approach may not work for everyone.

But thematically, it couldn't arrive at a better time: as we witness Andrew Borden's demise, it's hard not to envision in his place any number of rich men who used their power to subjugate and sexually abuse women, and even harder not to cheer when Lizzie, a blood-soaked vision of feminine rage, emerges from the carnage.
