With "The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson," exploitation filmmaker Daniel Farrands ("The Amityville Murders") offers a spiritual sequel to his previously infamous "The Haunting of Sharon Tate." The horror-adjacent "true-crime" thriller asks the burning questions:
Did Nicole have a supernatural premonition of her murder? Was she stalked and murdered by her ex-husband O.J. Simpson? Or was she stalked and murdered by serial killer Glen Edward Rogers (the Casanova Killer)? Or did both men team up and do it together?
The lead performance by star Mena Suvari ("Stuck," "Day of the Dead") is the best thing about the low-budget ripped-from-the-tabloids thriller. I do wish however, that Farrands had kept the original title "The Haunting of Nicole Brown Simpson," which would have made it more clear that this is purely an exercise in exploitation.
