    Case 39

    by psmasto

    This movie is a great movie because it definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. There was never a dull moment throughout the movie, and is definitely one that will be added to my own movie collection. In my opinion, this movie is not for the faint of heart!

    Worth a Watch

    by XoTinioX

    After seeing trailers and previews for this movie, I went into it with expectations, as I'm sure you will too. However, this film certainly throws you for a loop....you definitely don't get what you're expecting, but not necessarily in a bad way. I can't say much without giving the storyline away, but I'd definitely say, give it a shot and decide for yourself!

    One really good scary part and the little girl does a really good creepy kid. Starts off slow and story line is good, but too many "jumpy" parts without a lot of good meat. Some gore but some predictable shots too. Wait for the DVD.
