CASE 39
This weekend me and my husband saw a movie called “CASE 39” This one opens really good. The first 15-20 minutes are terrific. Renée Zellweger is a social worker who tries to save a little girl from her cruel, sadistic parents. This abused girl is labeled Case 39, and my, oh, my are her parents mean, cruel and sadistic. They actually try to stuff the little 10-year-old Lilith in the oven when Zellweger and a detective break in and save the girl.
This opening is great. It’s not everyday we see adults trying to cook a little kid alive. Wow, this is going to be one nasty movie, I thought.
But I was wrong. You see, there was a reason Lilith’s parents tried to kill her. The wide-eyed, innocent looking girl is actually evil. She has supernatural powers. She makes people she doesn’t like see scary things that make them kill themselves. Zellweger’s boyfriend, and he’s suddenly covered by insects. He dies early in the movie and I hate that part of this movie.
Zellweger realizes Lilith is a little devil who needs to be killed, but it’s easier said than done. Who could kill a child? Well, in this case, I’d volunteer. Give me a gun, and I’d blow the little creep’s head off. God, is she annoying. What’s worse than evil kids?
We all hate them. Lilith is both evil and annoying as hell. But we have to agree that the performance of this little girl in this film is fantastic.. Me and my husband were shocked to see such acting from a little girl.. Really she threatens..
Excellent narration Uma! Keep up the good work!! Happy to see you blogging. Looking forward to read more and more posts from you.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the movie too, after your l'il review. Although the twist in the story with all the supernatural powers took away some good rating the movie otherwise deserves. Oh, and I totally agree with you. Lilith showed some wonderful acting :)
