2 An idyllic small town is rocked when Aubrey Fleming (Lindsay Lohan), a bright and promising young college student is abducted and tortured by a sadistic serial killer. When she manages to escape, the traumatized young woman who regains consciousness in the hospital insists that she is not who they think she is and that the real Aubrey is still in mortal danger. SYNOPSIS Suggestive: The town is named New Salem.

3 ABOUT THE CHARACTERS

4 DIRECTOR’S METHOD

5 Brian Geraghty (Jarhead, The Guardian) plays Aubrey’s boyfriend, Jerrod. Jerrod. An understated guy who is usually reacting to things rather than causing them to happen. Key note: Aubrey dressed in blue is given a blue rose. ABOUT THE CHARACTERS

6 These are subliminal clues that help the audience know who they're looking at. The use of warm and cool colors inform the audience’s emotional reactions to what is going on the screen. ABOUT THE CHARACTERS Aubrey’s scenes and dress are in different shades of blue. Dakota is signified with red: stockings, lipstick, etc. Lindsay Lohan plays both Aubrey Fleming and Dakota Moss

7 DIRECTOR’S USE OF COLOR Lindsay Lohan with director Chris Sivertson on the set Director notes: After Lohan’s character is first discovered by the side of the road and brought to the hospital, she is wearing a blue gown and lying on blue sheets. But as she begins to insist she is Dakota, not Aubrey, the blue begins to disappear and reds begin creeping in. By the time she gets out of the hospital she is dressed almost entirely in red.

8 TRIVIA AND NEWS PAYING TRIBUTE: The strip club dressing room gave Production Designer Jerry Fleming a chance to pay tribute to mentors. “I wanted to use mirrors on all the walls. The Lady from Shanghai, an Orson Welles film, ended in this room full of mirrors, and it was just so brilliant, so cinematic. The director I got my start with, Robert Altman, always loved reflections in mirrors and glass. It was kind of like an homage to him that I got to do a set full of mirrors with reflections.”

9 THE STORY

12 When Dakota begins to suspect she may be Aubrey’s identical twin sister, Susan shows her a video of her pregnancy ultrasound clearly revealing there was only one fetus in her womb. Confused and terrified, Dakota starts seeing visions of a menacing figure slowly butchering his captive. Convinced that time is running out both for Aubrey and herself, Dakota confronts Daniel with a shocking truth that leads them on a frantic hunt for the killer. THE STORY

13 WHO IS THE KILLER? Fleming created hints about the identity of the serial killer and placed them throughout the film. “In Aubrey's room and in Aubrey's house, we have marionettes and we have glass. We did a painting in the Fleming house in the living room that contains all the designs of the instruments that the killer uses, so in one shot you have all the information you need about the killer and his method. It’s all in one frame.” LOOKING FOR CLUES Glass The painting The marionettes in Aubrey’s room.

14 UNFORTUNATE EVENT ON FILM’S OPENING WEEK

15 A practical FILM REVIEW Lohan's mug shot - booking number 9699557 - following her July 24, 2007 arrest.

16 DO YOU AGREE? Serial killing is an addiction. Drugs are addicting. Certain Sex actions can be addicting

17 ARE ALL ADDICTIONS WRONG?

18 LIBERATION: BEGINS WITH CONFESSION AN ANCIENT YET POWERFUL CONFESSION “I realize that I don't have what it takes. I can will it, but I can't do it. I decide to do good, but I don't really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don't result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. It happens so regularly that it's predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up.” --Paul (Romans 7:18-21 Message Bible)
