Movie history is littered with evil children but her portrayal of Lilith is a stand-out - which makes it all the more baffling why Case 39's advertising hides the fact that Lilith is the film's villian. I also agree that the ending was satisfying in its definitive nature - no final twist or return from the dead. All in all, Case 39 isn't a great movie but with strong direction and performances, it's a better than expected effort.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892719961111573072.post-23662243919054647092010-10-02T14:16:49.165-07:002010-10-02T14:16:49.165-07:00CORRECTION

That means that Jodelle Ferland ISN'T a "scrawny 14 year old" as I stated above, but was rather playing a child close to the age she was portraying. Ferland was born in 1994 which would have made her 11 or 12 when the film was actually made.<br /><br />That makes her performance all the more impressive, though, because it's backwards from what I first thought. She wasn't a teen playing down but a kid projected a much older image during the psycho moments.Steve Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263633883997493518noreply@blogger.com
