So many haters on the music/soundtrack! Yes the music is not matched to the time period but it's brilliant! It fits so well! The soundtrack is one of the best things about this film! I also love Christina Ricci, she does an amazing job. Frankly I think Lizzie Borden did commit the murders but due to the times and lack of forensic evidence got away with it.

The true story of Lizzie Borden (Christina Ricci), a young woman tried and acquitted in the 1892 murders of her father and stepmother.My rating on this film is a bit lower than it possibly should be. Honestly, the only reason it is not better than it is stems from the limitations of being a made-for-TV movie. The budget is limited and other matters may be truncated or simplified. But you have to give them credit, because despite the limits everyone gave 100% and we even get decent gore.Most interesting, at least to me, is how the writer tried to stick to the historical record. Maybe not perfect (what is?), but where the film could have been sensational, it instead follows the more or less true story of the murders and trial. The "whacks" are not 40, and even the death locations match the known photographs.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I thought Christina Ricci was outstanding - she portrayed Lizzie Borden in a way that made me wonder if she was guilty. The film was frightening because of Ricci's dark portrayal and, personally, I loved it. If you are interested in true crime books or films then this is a must watch!

I have to say, Christina Ricci was brilliant playing as a series killer. She might have the looks of one but she just was so expressive! She could really do any role to be honest! I felt this movie was quite rather scary even on a summers day to watch this! It really brings you into the world of horror and it gives you the feeling of what it's like.I found it quite chilling although wasn't surprised at the same - when the street kids sang 'Lizzie Borden took an Axe' like some sort of nursery rhyme. I wonder during the real Lizzie Borden's time, did their parents know that their children were singing it about a murderer? I wonder myself where it came from. Probably a kid made it up!I think this is a good TV movie, I honestly love Cristina Ricci!
