Stav B Generally the movie was enjoyable. The start to the middle I was hooked, a supernatural hint was refreshing and unexpectedly expected? after the middle point the movie kind of detetiorated. I'm pretty sure that is because the plot in the start of the movie does not fit Lilly's narrative ultimately. Maybe an excuse for that is the fact that its told that she knew Emily would come after her... still, the plot isn't polished really and could have used some more time and critical thinking... I still liked the movie, the old american movie style, the colors and parts of the filming, also the SCREAMERS! this movie has so many uninvited unnecessary ridicules screamers which I loved. I feel like they were creative and filling to the mostly chill thriller start of the film. You also get very good and known actors, not to mention the star of the show Emily which I actually really liked too, I feel like she did a solid job and sold most of the movie, she has a great range when it comes to giving the scene, sometimes more serious and sometimes more sarcastic. Would recomend for an evening of a just for fun movie, I liked it) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review donnie m i wouldn't have kept watching if Renee Zellweger (my favorite actress) wasn't in this-it's just too weird and s l o w and stupid Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Rachel K This movie's all terrible! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Ralph R Case 39 comes out of the gate with a solid setup and a pretty believable performance from Renée Zellweger as the social worker who just wants to help. The movie gives off that familiar “creepy kid” vibe right from the start, and Jodelle Ferland as Lilith really sells the role, mixing innocence with just enough weirdness to keep you watching. As the story moves along, you start to notice it’s not really breaking any new ground. The supernatural angle is there, but it never quite builds enough suspense or delivers that uncomfortable tension you want from this kind of horror. The pacing is a problem too, about halfway through you realize the movie is still circling the same plot points, and that slow burn never pays off the way you’d hope. On the technical side, production is decent and the cast does what they can, but you can feel the energy drop off as the movie goes on. Even seeing Bradley Cooper pop up doesn’t add much. Overall, Case 39 is an okay watch if you’re into horror with kids at the center, but it never really rises above being just another run-of-the-mill thriller. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Harrie K Everyone over thinks this movie-and that’s not what this movie is for! It’s a fun horror that gets under your skin, and there’s no need to deep dive Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Gloria B Underrated!
