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.

Well, that was...stupid :D I am not the smartest guy but even I knew what will happen in this movie after like 10-15 minutes. Very predictable, and let me just say that this is not a horror movie...not one scary moment, and the atmosphere was just pale. But there is one good thing about Case 39 and that is Jodelle Ferland as Lily. She was GREAT. You need to have a good kid actor (she was 14 at the time), in this type of movies, and let me just say that she did a brilliant job. She was the main reason why I watched this movie till the end. And Renne Zellweger...well, let my just say that this was not her best performance :D 4/10

one word? meh. the child actor - who is an adult by now- was good playing her creepy part, but the story was super predictable and uninspired. you kinda knew what would happen from the bat, there was no attempt to cover some unexplained parts, a "horror" flick to watch when you don't really want to think about it or be too involved in a deep story

Giving it a first time viewing off the To-Watch Pile for my 31 Days Of Horror. Figured it was time, considering how much Renee Zellweger has been on everyone's mind recently.

**Just do your job! Don't think above that like you can be a saviour!**

It looked like some kind of thriller, that's what anybody would say if they read the title correctly. The story was suspense, well developed to keep that for a very long time. Though it had no major twist, just a revelation l More
