Movie: Case 39 (2010)

Some cases should never be opened...

"Case 39" centers on an idealistic and kind-hearted social worker, Emily Jenkins (Renée Zellweger) who saves an abused 10-year-old girl from her parents only to discover that the girl is not as innocent as she thinks.

Prompted to rescue Lilith Sullivan (Jodelle Ferland) from her parents, suspected to be abusive and mentally unstable, Emily soon discovers that sweet and innocent-looking Lily holds a sinister and deadly secret.

If you still remember, in 2009, there's a similar movie with an evil little girl causing harm to everyone around her. That movie is "Orphan".

The slight difference is this: Orphan offers the audience a scientific/medical explanation regarding the protagonist's disturbed personality. In Case 39, the explanation given is related to supernatural power.

Overall, this movie is considered okay. The storyline is predictable and easy to follow throughout the entire movie. Honestly speaking, it's just another American movie about a demonic kid. Give it a skip if this genre is not your cup of tea. :)
