Ok, we really haven’t been paying attention to “Case 39,” mostly because any buzz one way or the other surrounding it has been non-existent.
The film directed by Christian Alvart (“Pandorum”) and written by Ray Wright (“The Crazies”) follows a social worker (Renee Zellweger) who takes in a troubled child who was presumably abused by her parents. Of course, things go weird and very, very wrong. Bradley Cooper (who has an unpleasant experience with bees) and Ian McShane (who will show up and act in anything) co-star. It pretty much looks like a half dozen movies we’ve already seen and it’s arriving to U.S. theaters nearly a full year after it has opened around the world. So take that bit of info for whatever it’s worth.
“Case 39” opens on October 1st. Synopsis and trailer after the jump. [Apple]
In CASE 39, family services social worker Emily Jenkins (Renée Zellweger) thinks she has seen it all… until she meets 10-year old Lilith Sullivan (Jodelle Ferland) and the child’s cruel and dangerous parents. Her worst fears are confirmed when the parents try to harm Lily, their only daughter. Frightened for her life, Emily enlists the help of Detective Mike Barron (Ian McShane) and takes Lily in while she continues the search for the perfect foster family. Just as it seems as though Lily is on her way to a more loving home, under the guidance of Emily and psychiatrist (Bradley Cooper), dark forces surrounding this young girl come to light and, little do they know, their attempts to protect her will only bring on greater horror…
