This follows the story of Dakota Moss who finds herself in place of someone else. She was considered missing to the hands of psychopath, but has now reappeared. Despited her constant protests, and unusual behavior, everyone believes her to be the missing girl Aubrey Fleming. As more of her limbs begin to fall it is soon realized that her current life is tied to the fate of the missing Aubrey. Dakota sets out to discover the link, and to save her Aubrey's life to save her own.
Another cable film that I stumbled across while channel surfing. This plays of an idea of stigmata twins; where one twin will suffer an injury and the other will suffer the same fatal injury at the same time. This film was directed by Chris Sivertson who isn't a well known director. It is a very well edited film. This film relied heavily on colorizations to present two opposing worlds; blue and red. Aubrey's world is presented as vibrant blue, and Dakota's world is presented as a deep red. This film style tends to overshadow the story, and some of the characters. However, this film really applies to audience's who enjoy horror film styles such as Dario Argento's. This film has an great idea behind it, and has all the potential for a great horror film. The suspense thriller that had a great build-up, but failed to create a satisfying ending. The ending ended too quickly to give audience's an appropriate release.
Lindsay Lohan plays the role of both girls, Aubrey and Dakota. Now, you have to push aside her alcohol abuse that existed in 2007. The editing saved her performance by a lot. There was something missing-a kind of deep emotion that makes you want the character to survive. Also, the story revolves around how different the two girls are. In her acting their wasn't enough stylistic behavioral changes to fully differentiate the two characters. The difference came from what was written in the script. Neal McDonough portrayed Aubrey's father, Daniel Fleming. He does all right in this film as an aloof character, but he didn't really pull out the emotion of a conflicted husband. Julia Ormond performances the role of Susan Fleming, Aubrey's mother. She surprisingly does well in this film as a distraught mother happy to have, who she believe's to be, her daughter.
I give this film a 6 out of 10 stars! Its a great film to show the effects of colorization, and its impact on a film. The editing is amazing, and saves what is in this film. The acting could've been much better, and the conclusion could've been done much better.
