Case 39

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

Case 39 is about one of the cases of a social worker played by Renée Zell­weger. She’s a worka­holic but very car­ing and very effec­tive at her job. She basi­cally helps to iden­tify chil­dren in bad sit­u­a­tions with their par­ents and works to make them bet­ter. When she get’s this spe­cific case she find a lit­tle girl in seri­ous trou­ble but has no proof. The hor­ri­ble things her par­ents try to do her are strik­ingly bad. The social worker works to save her but then pecu­liar and some­times grue­some things begin to happen.

This movie, very nicely, moves from a mys­tery to a thriller to a hor­ror film. It almost fools you into think­ing it’s a dif­fer­ent type of movie than it actu­ally is, and this is a good thing. The sur­prises keep com­ing even up to the end. The role of the lit­tle girl Lilith was played very well by Jodelle Fer­land. There were times when I really felt con­cerned for her saftey and oth­ers where I feared for every­one elses.

Case 39 takes you on a trip and you can’t help but fol­low along as the story twists and turns. I watched it with some­one who doesn’t nor­mally watch hor­ror movies and they didn’t know it was one until they were caught up in watch­ing it. I really enjoyed this movie and give it a 4 out of 5 marks.
