Overview

In her many years as a social worker, Emily Jenkins believes she has seen it all, until she meets 10-year-old Lilith and the girl’s cruel parents. Emily’s worst fears are confirmed when the parents try to harm the child, and so Emily assumes custody of Lilith while she looks for a foster family. However, Emily soon finds that dark forces surround the seemingly innocent girl, and the more she tries to protect Lilith, the more horrors she encounters.

Viewing Notes

I don’t know if I just wasn’t in the mood or what, but Case 39 just failed to impress me. Certainly, there are some creepy scenes (the hornet scene in particular), but the movie just left me feeling “meh” about the whole thing.

I’m not a particularly big fan of Renee Zellweger; her stuffed chipmunk cheeks and squinchy eyes just make it hard for me to take her seriously.

Oh well, win some, lose some.
