“Black Dahlia Movie” was one of the most complex movies I have ever saw. I watched and enjoyed it but I know I didn’t fully understand it. The storyline was about an actress Lisa Small (Kristen Kerr)who gets the part in a movie to play the “Black Dahlia” Elizabeth Short. Mean while there’s a killer on the loose who is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the original killing that took place in 1947 by murdering the women in line for the role…I think.

The movie is colorful and definitely has that art house appeal but it is extremely hard to follow and I am not sure if I really got what was going on. This movie flip-flopped all over the place and felt like I was trying to put together an intriguing puzzle but regretfully the last piece was missing. I could tell there was a lot of symbolism in the film but I just couldn’t grasp at what it was exactly pointing to.

I liked the part where Lisa opens the door and there is a package sitting there for her. She opens it up and there is this creepy yet somehow still beautiful handmade doll of Elizabeth Short with a bright red Dahlia in her hair. She bring it inside and occasionally the movie pans in on it’s eeriness. Flashbacks thru time show different women who are trying for the role and all end up at the hands of this copycat killer.

The box has the large bold caption “Hollywood Murders Women” and from all the E True Hollywood Stories I have seen on all the beautiful actresses who have succumbed to the evils of this glamorous town, I’d have to agree. There are just to many sad stories out there of women who fall for the lure of fame with whispered promises of producers promising the world for just one thing…their sanity and maybe even their lives.
