I wasn't surprised to find out that this movie was shelved 4 years before it was released, This movie stars Renee Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, Ian Mcshane and Bradley Cooper(back before he was famous). This movie was like a cross between The Omen and The Exorcist. At first I thought Renee Zellweger casting was odd but to my surprise she played her part well, I'm not a fan of her but she's a great actress. The person who really carried this movie was Jodelle Ferland I like how she went from a sweet and innocent child to a psychotic evil brat. I've seen Jodelle in other films like silent hill, the tall man and seed, she's quite an icon in horror.
Case 39 is about a child care social worker who is given the case of a young girl named Lillith Sullivan. The social worker Emily fears for the child's safety with her strange parents and later stops the parents from murdering Lillith. Emily wants to give the girl she just saved a safe place to recover until a permanent foster home can be found for her so she takes Lillith into her home. Soon strange things begin to happen and innocent little Lillith turn out to be not so innocent after all, perhaps it is her parents and not Lillith who are the victims and now Emily is in danger to. The movie started off somewhat okay and then the suspense kept building. While some of the movie was predictable, there were some scenes that made you think.
I thought the suspense and horror was well executed, even though in some scenes it looked a kinda forced. Too bad Bradley Cooper character was killed off early. I didn't like the ending it wasn't believable.
If your looking for a film too watch during the Halloween season or on a rainy night definitely give this a go.
