Steineded How sad is this?

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

mrcheminee This is actually one of the strangest and most bizarre movies i've ever seen. A horrorstory woven into a dream, made of short arty scenes and a fantastic soundtrack made by David J (Bauhaus) and Ego Plum.I don't know a movie to compare this with, thought it reminded me of some movies. The movies that came to my mind were 'the naked breakfast'(because of the surrealism) and pink Floyd - the Wall (because of the music-picture combination). If you like arty films, this movie will blow your mind. But if you're just looking for a nasty horrorslasher, look further, you won't find it in this movie.Don't expect a predictable story, expect a dream from which you can't wake up till the end of the movie.

sdrogue Any film that reaches a point of distribution has to be given a five...but I can't give it anymore than that...it lacks the single thing that makes a film watchable, a story about someone that needs to do something...this film has several stories in it, but it never makes it as an ensemble piece because of that very reason....who is it about, what do they need to do, what do they desire? Who's story am I watching...? Yes, I know a movie that doesn't follow that doesn't mean it's a bad film but it's a niche film, a film you watch not for the story but for another reason, the actors, the director, the locations...but the story has to be paramount...until you are David lynch, you can't make a David lynch film...

jeffleroy15-11 Not to be confused with Ulli Lommel's unwatchable mess or the incomprehensible De Palma film, this is a decently shot and produced meditation on the price of fame and fortune in Lotus Land. The film uses the Black Dahlia as a springboard for a series of vignettes and haunted images of Hollywood's past. The cinematography is excellent and the cast is up for the challenge. You do not learn about the Black Dahlia crime from this film. The viewer is thrust into the shoes of a number of actresses searching for success with the Black Dahlia character as a backdrop. This stream of ideas is not for all tastes, but if you are in the mood, you will find this film rewarding.

valeska weich (shermanblue) This movie really got me into it! It cant be compared to those other two movies about the Black Dahlia legend,though I haven't seen both,but Im sure the other one doesn't reach the arty level anyway and especially Brian de Palma's version (which ,I think,sucks big time) is nothing compared to that piece of art! Ramzi Abed's version is very underground but still very well produced and set! I very much like the light,atmosphere and coloring of that movie. The actors as well as the director Ramzi Abed are doing excellent work, not to forget the stunning soundtrack! I love the twists in it also and "Black Dahlia" is so added to my personal favorite movie list! In one word: OUTSTANDING!!!! It's a MUST to watch it!HAPPY BIRTHDAY,RAMZI! :)I'm proud of you! :))Valeska aka PiaPale
