Christina Ricci swingin’ as Lizzie Borden

Christina Ricci is really killin' it.

The actress is all set to swing as suspected ax murderess Lizzie Borden in "Lizzie Borden Took An Ax," which premieres in January on Lifetime.

In the movie, Ricci — who starred on ABC's short-lived "Pan Am" in 2012 — will portray the legendary spinster who was tried for the gruesome 1892 ax murders of her father, Andrew and stepmother, Abby in Fall River, Mass.

Borden, a 32-year-old, unmarried Sunday school teacher, claimed she returned home to find the bodies of Andrew and Abby hacked to pieces.

While police in Fall River questioned many suspects, most suspected Lizzie of carrying out the dastly deed, and she was eventually arrested and tried for both murders.

Her spectacular, headline-making trial even inspired a nursery rhyme: "Lizzie Borden took an ax, and gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father fortyone."

Billy Campbell ("The Killing") co-stars in "Lizzie Borden Took An Ax" as Lizzie's lawyer, Andrew Jennings — who was convinced of his client's innocence.

Borden was eventually acquitted of the murders due to lack of evidence.

She lived out the rest of her life in Fall River, where she died in 1927 at the ripe old age of 76.
