The child actress Ferland is suitably creepy and understated at times and menacingly over-the-top at the right moments. We can only hope she attends therapy regularly after being so frazzled playing the role.

Case 39 sees, Zellweger (who, incidentally, looks like she has those chipmunk cheeks that are full of nuts, or whatever!) giving a good leading lady performance.
What transpires as a result and what Lily is capable of make for an intriguing watch indeed. Oh, and a few people around Emily either die or are murdered under suspicious conditions soon after. Lily, is a little maestro at mind games and before you can say, "Emily you stupid fool.", Lily's parents are jailed and Emily has already taken the girl into her very own home. Yes, literally, as her parents go completely Middle Eastern on Lily and try to "kebab" her. The acting, of course, has to work for such directorial devices to work and the cast is rather up to the task.Īnyway, not following departmental procedure, Emily pokes her nose into the Lily family's affair and ends up rescuing the little girl from being roasted alive. The tension during these moments are so, well, taut, in fact, if you were a musician, you could pluck the spooky Psycho violin tune during these times! Provided you could un-tense yourself, in the first place, to pluck the strings. The opening scenes that extend to include Emily's visit, are excellent with really, REALLY tight shots (so tight, you feel like saying out aloud, apologetically, "Oh, so sorry Miss Zellweger - I didn't mean to be so in your face! Oops, you two too - Mr and Mrs Lily's parents!"). If that is the case, could Emily perchance do something to help the poor child?įollowing departmental procedure, she pays Lily a visit and finds her parents' behaviour odd. She wonders if poor Lily is being abused in anyway at home. But the real fun is in watching this film - it is rather well constructed.)Īnyway, it should come as no surprise at all that a child welfare woman Emily Jenkins (Renee Zellweger) is terribly concerned when she reads the case file numbered 39. (I know, I know - that comparison with Sadako gave pretty much a lot away.
These are her own BIOLOGICAL parents - and they are very biologically intent on killing this sweet child. And mind you, these are not her foster parents. You'd be distressed too if your parents are trying to kill you all the time. Sadly, she is having a troubled young life. Lily (Jodelle Ferland) is just an ordinary child who is so very sweet. Well, if dear departed and supremely demented pre-teen Sadako had an American kin, she would probably be very much like Lily in Case 39. Remember that fabulous modern Japanese horror classic The Ring ( Ringu) from 1998? If you are a horror aficionado, you probably do. (SPOILER ALERT: The first paragraph pretty much reveals what the film is all about.
