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!

Case 39

by cr0pnm0m

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.

A Real, Honest to God, SCARY Movie.

by

Being a horror movie buff, I rarely go see them. Because they make me angry. Because they show too much. Because the plot is thin. Because they're not scary.

Case 39 had me tucked into a little ball in my chair, clutching my hands to my body, feeling my heart rate increase, and jumping out of my seat a few times.

Save for one plot/character twist that was a little unbelievable (which I'm willing to accept, given the excellence of the rest of the movie), the whole movie was pulled off to perfection.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING A SCARY MOVIE THAT SCARED ME!!!!!

All three of us that went were a bit hysterical from all the adrenaline in our system by the time we left the movie. Hell yes. Even knowing what happens, I might go see it again. And I never do that... I didn't even see Avatar in theaters twice.

Just in CASE you plan to miss this one...

by catnmouse

I love suspenseful, scary movies. However, I go to see them with low expectations these days since they just aren't as good as they used to be. Case 39 has all the ingredients.... good acting, interesting story, suspense, intense moments followed by a good jump!! Renee Z shows her versatility in this one and the little girl at the center of case 39 really delivers in a roll that few child actors/actresses could play well. Some have given this movie a thumbs down because of the disturbing nature but scary movies are supposed to be disturbing. My only criticism is that the premise of the story is too well accepted by the characters a little too quickly which, of course, makes it more unrealistic but at the same time it keeps the movie rolling and the suspense builds easily. Just don't have real high expectations - make sure you have some hot buttered popcorn or Milk Duds, the fizzy drink of your choice and you will enjoy this movie if scary is your thing!!

Better than I thought!

by maritza1224

I usually am a little skeptical about seeing scary movies because most of the times they are not so scary but this was actually pretty intense and had me on the edge of my seat! Definitely a must see!!!

The Scariest Movies Include Cute Innocent-Looking Girls

by Deda-Chan

First off, don't trust the trailers. The trailer tells a way different story than the actual movie. It's a nice, thrilling, movie with a great twist in the middle. You go into thinking the parents of the girl are the bad guys, but it turns out the parents are the least of your worries. The only thing that left me a bit iffy was the ending. It kinda leaves you hanging wondering how Emily, the social worker, will recover in the end. Great acting, detailed to your understanding, the movie is a must see for horror movie lovers.
