Review of Case 39

Case 39 (2009)
2/10
I've never seen *yawn* such innovative film making

Warning: Spoilers
Cute, seemingly-abused kid is actually a demon that controls other persons' actions with her little demon-psychologist brain. It's like a genius must have come up with this idea because I've never seen anything so darn original.

Or have I?

Ok, enough sarcasm. The characters, despite being portrayed by pretty good actors, all do endless dumb things. The demon kid is standard belligerent, ultra violent and manipulative. None of the characters have any depth. Again, these are not bad actors, but they just had nothing good to work with. There is just nothing to make this movie stand out or make a viewer care in the least about the characters.

It's super predictable, has the endless jump scares that aren't scary, much of the dialogue is extra low volume, but the "scary" bits are extra loud. Just so flat.

If you don't want to know everything, don't read on.

The adoptive mother manages to drown the demon in the end.
