lorcan-61881 In Case 39,a social worker investigates the case of Lilith Sullivan and her cruel parents. When she just about saves her from being brutally murdered,she takes her in to stay with her giving motherhood a try only to discover this sweet,precious,afraid little girl is actually something far more older,horrible and not one bit afraid..a demon. Case 39 is a child horror film which some i like like Orphan,The Omen and The good son then there's some i hate like child's play,the babadook and Poltergeist remake. This film is absolutely awesome,so scary,some really good effects,not that much CGI accept for the ending scene which was OK and don't worry,i want spoil,i don't usually anyway but yeah. Case 39 is a very good,kinda creepy horror film

jacklmauro Seeing this on TV a few times now (thank you, SyFy channel) has disturbed me. That is, for the first time, I'm extremely impressed by Zellweger. I am drawn to any flick in which the monster is a kid, mainly because such scenarios so invert norms and amplify a horror film. But what really gives this movie weight is RZ's performance (while the demon girl is quite good as well). It is exactly right, particularly when she spots the little witch who should be burning in the house. Another actress would have overplayed the moment, but Zellweger understands how her character has had to confront the unearthly with this beast before. I would add that the scene between Cooper and the girl is also strong, as he just barely conveys the character's sudden awareness of what he is actually facing. All in all, a nice little scare film, and a brava to Renee.

Danii Disaster I can't look past the fact that Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) was cast for a serious role. Would the movie be better is someone else played the lead? Maybe a little, but I doubt it very much. It's just not that good a movie to begin with.In any case, Zellweger was a poor choice. She should stick to romcoms, I think. I can't take her seriously in a role like this. To add insult to injury, the little girl was godawful, too. While Zellweger looked constipated throughout the movie, the little girl was just awkward and kind of embarrassing to watch - she was not one bit scary. Her performance could best be described as "trying too hard, but failing miserably". With lots of child actors around, it beats me why they'd pick this talent-less brat. Basically, the acting by both leads was less than convincing to put it mildly.The movie itself is a (very poor) rehash of all the other Satan-child / evil kid movies I have seen. Not really a thriller, let alone horror. I don't know what genre it falls under, but it's just neither suspenseful, nor griping, and not one bit scary or disturbing.If they wanted to make something memorable out of this movie, they should have let alone the horror theme and, perhaps, explored the girls life as though she wasn't aware that she's evil or that she didn't want to do what her nature dictated and was fighting the evil within. Now that would of made for a much better story, I think.But this banal, done-do-death, clichéd mess? What was the point? If you want far superior movies with a similar theme, try the original "Omen" (not the remake with Julia Styles), or "Orphan".
