Case 39 Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረ14 februari 2025With the cast-listings the film boasts, one would have expected reasonable box-office success, however as an earlier reviewer pointed out the film attracted little interest and in fact bombed. The film, a phycological horror-movie tells of how social-worker Emily Jenkins ( Renée Zellweger) despite a heavy work-load is handed a case telling of troubled 10 year-old Lillith "Lily" Sullivan (Jodelle Ferland) worrying decline.to investigate. Immediately when meeting Lily's parents Emily has concerns suspecting abuse. Emily had given Lily her phone number when a call is received Emily contacts Detective and friend Mike Baron (Ian McShane) to help her at Lily's home, finding a horrific situation and after a struggle with the 10 year-olds parents the child is rescued. With the parents arrested, finding Lily a placement a priority, however, Lily insists she wants to live with Emily, which at first Emily stands back from, however she changes her mind and is granted custody. Initially, things seem to be going well, however, not for long, strange things begin to happen around Emily, one of her case subjects murders his parents. Then, unexplainably Emily's best friend Dr Douglas J Ames (Bradley Cooper) who had been doing a psychiatric evaluation on young Lilly dies Emily begins to realise there is something not right about her charge, she'll even consult with Lily's parents who had been sent down, certified as insane. Very soon, Emily herself feels threatened by Lillith, she needs to make it stop, but, how? Must admit, I did not expect the film to be as creepy as it turned out to be. Certainly, a film worthy of viewing if you like a chiller.
