Normally I wouldn't review a movie I didn't like, but I'm just considering this a warning to any horror fan who thought Case 39 looked interesting. This movie relied on cheap jump scares (an alarm clock!), had no real atmosphere, spooky or otherwise. There were some worthwhile characters, like Bradley Cooper and Emily's cop friend. The protagonist was poorly cast and the actress was just plain bad. The little demon girl was alright, but she didn't terrify me (at all) and she had the annoying ability of being able to do almost anything she wanted,including escape a burning house in a new outfit, but not the trunk of a sinking car. Even though there were parts of this movie that were very funny (unintentionally, I believe), over all this movie was too long and just wouldn't end.
