Case 39 is about a social worker named Emily, Renee Zellweger, who gets involved with a child abuse case. A ten year old girl appears to be abused by her parents. Emily is able to rescue the girl from her parents who are attempting to bake her in the oven. The little girl’s parents get arrested and the girl begs Emily to take care of her, at least until a suitable foster home is found.
While the little girl is living with Emily, odd things happen and Emily starts to realize that the parents may not have been crazy after all. The little girl has a super natural way of playing with people’s mind and making them think that the thing they are scared of the most is attacking them. For example Emily has a friend who was talking to Lilith, the little girl. The man who was questioning her was asking about her fears and various questions that she had answered in a test, she was being difficult and she asked him questions, he told her he was terrified of hornets to help her realize its ok to be scared.
Later that night he thought hornets were crawling gout of his body all over the place and he broke his neck. The crime scene had no evidence of any bugs, so one can infer that he only imagined them because that little girl was playing with his mind.
This is a pretty good film; I found it to be easy to follow though it was pretty suspenseful. It is rated R so you may choose not to watch it because of violent deaths and some blood, though it is not a “slasher” film at all. But it is sort of creepy and I do recommend it.
This movie sounds interesting but super creepy at the same time. I would go insane with that little girl messing with my head.
ReplyDeleteThis movie sounds creepy, but interesting. Im not a big fan of these kind of movies but it does sound like something that would keep your attention!
ReplyDeleteAny movie that has hallucination type fears is always creepy. However, this does sound like a very thrilling movie. Thanks for the suggestion.
ReplyDeleteThis movie would freak me out. I am not a fan of little kids, especially adopted ones. Lilith sounds extremely creepy. I doubt I will watch this movie.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good movie to watch, but it is a not a family movie at all. It would scare little kids with the oven and the car. I would try to kill the kid to though in that case.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting movie with the psychological element.
