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...

I just watched this movie over the weekend and I must say that it was more than I expected. Exspecially after watching the two other "really bad" Black Dahlia movies. But I have to tell you Mr. Abed restored my faith. From the unconventional actors and actress' in the film to the way he shared the story of the Black Dahlia, he really pushed the envelope of violence, sex, and of course the infamous and murderous mystery of Elizabeth Short. This is a tale that carefully unravels surprisingly in the end. This it is not your typical 'scary film'. So be prepared to really think about violence..sex...and murder. Be prepared to be slightly turned on by this tale of Rhamzi Abed's Black Dahlia. It will leave you wanting more...and maybe a cigarette or two:)

Please do not confuse this movie with the two other Black Dahlia's out there, or you will be really missing out.... This movie is packed full of surprising and unconventional stars...starting with the Black Dahlia herself...Kristen Kerr...Gidget Gein, who does an unbelievable job playing a detective, and Masuimi Max, who is so beautiful and who knew she was so convincing as an actress...and Julie Strain. I am not going to give away any details... all i am going to do is tell you to go see it... or you will be sorry you missed it. Ramzi Abed is a very creative director and i can not wait to see what he has coming next. I hope we do not have to wait too long for his next feature film.

Great art is open ended, and such are the works of Ramzi Abed.Abed's films offer the viewer the opportunity to detach from them self and to escape this world for a little over an hour.Expect nothing when watching an Abed film and you will have everything.What can I say about The Black Dahlia Movie? I have no idea what that was going on during the film AND YET IT WAS AEWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How does that happen? How does a filmmaker take on us a journey with no clear destination and still entertain us? Perhaps it's best not to think too much about it, or life in general.Abed is a genius. Watch his films!
