CASE 39

Guy's stuff...

We kicked off the day with this movie, and what I mean about that is that we started watching it around 7 AM. Luckily, the mornings here in Sweden are pretty dark and suitable for horror.

Zellweger plays a social worker that saves a child from getting burnt alive in an oven. After about half an hour we find out that the parents had a reason for doing this, the kid is a demon and kills everything around her by using their fears against them. For example, Bradley Cooper, who plays a child psychiatrist, has a fear of hornets. After a conversation with the demon child, where she finds out about this, he has a hallucination where he sees hornets come out of his own head. This makes him go crazy, fall over and die. Pretty cool kill, though nevertheless.

The kid is creepy and has shown up in other movies with creepy kids before. She's pretty good. Zellweger is meh. The only people really worth watching was Ian McShane, who plays a badass cop and Callum Keith Rennie, who plays the original father of the child.

Guy's rating: Just an alright horror.

Girl's impression of Rene's new career path...

Not a good idea.

This movie, although not entirely bad, wasn't really a horror. Rene's pouty little face and terrible acting skills outside the safety net of her fat persona, Bridget Jones, guarantees that this movie isn't a horror. The fact they have one of the creepiest kids in the horror business doesn't measure up against one of the worst actresses in the whole business.

Still, there were moments when I cringed or was captivated. The story line was interesting, despite the fact you understood what was going on as soon as Rene inherited the demon child. The dialogue was believable. The characters were entertaining. The kills... okay.

Girl's Rating: All in all, an okay movie. Rene shouldn't quit her day job, though... Wait, shit, this is her day job. She's fucked then.
