Caso 39

"Emily Jenkins" (Renee Zellweger) is a social working living in New York who already has 38 cases she is working on and the last thing she needs is another one. Unfortunately, her boss "Wayne" (Adrian Lester) gives her another one anyway. When she visits the parents to determine if there is a valid child abuse situation she discovers that both parents are acting extremely odd and are verbally hostile to any of her questions. A little while later Emily gives the child "Lilith Sullivan" (Jodelle Ferland) her phone number with instructions to call her in the event of an emergency. Not long afterward she receives a call and when she rushes to the house she discovers the parents in the act of trying to murder the child. Now rather than reveal any more of the story and risk spoiling the film for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this turned out to be a fairly decent horror movie for the most part. All things considered I suppose Renee Zellweger performed in an adequate manner but in my opinion it was the performance of Jodelle Ferland which really added some zest to this film. In summation, it was an interesting movie and I rate it as slightly above average.
