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
Hit up AMC Showplace 12 for a screening of Christian Alvart’s Case 39 (2009 but US 2010), a film that made some years ago and shelved. Actually I guess it’s been available on home video overseas for a while. For whatever reason it got its theatrical release now and I’ve heard so-so things. All this made me curious enough to check it out. And it ain’t bad if you can tolerate a hamster staring at the sun for 90 minutes… I mean Renée Zellweger. The plot w/the kid is predictable from the word go but I found it interesting to see how it would resolve. Not worth the $10 I paid (discovered that Showplace weekend matinees went up in price) but an okay rental.
