Indie Watch: Borden Legacy Lives on in Lizzie

Corbin Bernsen leading the cast



David Dunn Jr. is in post-production on yet another pic inspired by the story of Lizzie Borden. Entitled Lizzie, and written by Leif Holt, the film stars Corbin Bernsen, Amanda Baker and Holt. Here’s a synopsis from the production’s official site:

On August 4th, 1892, Andrew Jackson Borden and Abby Durfee Borden were brutally murdered with an old household hatchet. The blows of the murder weapon were so violent and numerous that their faces and skulls were unrecognizably disfigured. Although acquitted, it is common knowledge that the daughter, Lizzie Borden, is responsible for this savage evil act.

The present day Lizzy Allen suffers from an extreme case of childhood amnesia which not only lays dark her childhood memories but also her relationship or lack there of, of her parents themselves. When Lizzie discovers the news of her father’s death she inherits the house she once lived in…and therefore a new place to live.

But as she begins to settle in she starts to get a glimpse of her childhood memories along with clues as to what really happened in the Borden household in 1892. We follow Lizzy’s journey as she attempts to distinguish between the two and strives to reach her own sanity and happiness.

Shooting took place earlier this year in Los Angeles. Explore the official site for more details!
