Please don't spend money on this.
Lack of good storyline.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Well, this is definately a horror story, a bit unusually ploted, its also a drama and a thriller. i did like the horrish angle come through ms zellweger, and the feeling youll never get rid of that black shadow in your life. ive never heard of case 39,and it was a pleasure to watch. dont elevate your expectations , just delve into it
The fact that this had been shelved for years made me think this would be howlingly bad... it's not that bad. There are some ridiculous parts, to be sure. It's acceptable bad. Not enough to scare, not enough to laugh. Also not bad enough to turn off.
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
This is horror and suspense film in 2009. It depicts the social worker and a strange girl. Emily who is social worker charges of many cases that parents have problems about the children or else the opposite. She visits the family and she feels something suspect to the parents. One night, she gets a call from the girl Lily, and plunges into her house. Lily is about to be killed by her parents in the oven. She put the parents into the jail. Lily needs new parents and she wants Emily to be her mother. She decides to take care of her and they starts happy living. But as time passes, people around Emily pass away unnaturally one by one. Emily starts to suspects Lily's true character.I think the term of social welfare problem is well depicted in this film. Emily is eager about solving problems but I am sorry about her miserable situation after helping Lily. I do not believe the Devil but it scares me. If you do not believe it, you will enjoy with this film.
