Review of The Black Dahlia (2006) by Marcial. — 25 Sep 2006
This is one of the most disgusting movies I have ever seen. It is hard to explain how it could be shocking, boring and worthless, all at the same time. First of all, the film's title is simply an exploitation of a young woman's brutal murder.
The film makes no attempt at all to provide a true solution to the crime. It is total fiction, attempting to making money at the expense of a poor dead girl's memory. Second, the pornographic lesbian scenes were ugly - especially the use of the "toy" - and horrifying rather than titillating.
Third - will Scarlett Johannsen ever find work again? She seemed to be struggling to portray a retarded sex kitten who had some type of neurological disorder that made her jerk awkwardly when she walked, and made her jaw hang open most of the time.
Don't go see it. Don't even rent it.
