Looking back, this movie really should've just been a dark comedy about an alcoholic social worker trying to take care of a bratty little demon girl. Dealing with the hardships of trying to maintain your sanity while your adopted daughter murders her teachers, causes covert manipulation to those around her and burns the house down because she didn't get ice cream whenever she wanted. A family friendly motion picture all the family can enjoy.
Could have been better if the kid had a history of being adopted by parents who go crazy (sort of like the orphan) instead of somehow surviving 10 years with her birth parents
I know it's not right to hit kids, but lets be honest, if a kid was repeating "Why (your name)?" Repeatedly... as her voice gets higher... and higher........ kersmack!
Every death in this film makes literally no sense. Spine cracks instead of hornets, falls on forks, shooting over shoulder apparently shoots your face.
I know this is a 4 year old comment, but I took it that the people inadvertently killed themselves (e.g Ian McShane thought he was shooting an imaginary dog, but in reality he was pointing the gun at himself).
@@latayesha I'll have to watch the movie again to see what the movie _literally_ shows about the hornet's death. However, I don't recall the film being something I'd want to revisit.
it's a solid concept for a horror movie, though. if it were done properly it could get you feeling sympathetic and attached to the characters at first and it could be really terrifying when you realize how wrong you were. not this though lmao
You'd think someone in her line of work would know how to DOCUMENT EVIDENCE of dangerous behavior? Voice recorders can fit in your coat pocket, and she could have video taped the little girl's craziness from behind the door since she always hid in the same room when things got weird. Granted having the girl put in a mental house wouldn't defeat the demon, but proving she was insane would be a start in that it would limit her freedom a bit.
Such evidence is inadmissible unless you inform the people being recorded that you're recording the conversation, or unless you have a warrant to do so regardless of their cooperation.
Talisguy So if I record a murder I have to tell the murderer that I'm recording him for evidence? What is he point in recording then? Because you can just say "no I won't let you record me" and auddenly video proof is gone
That actually depends on if you're in a two-party state or not. Differs by state. And it's only inadmissable in a court of law. Doesn't mean you can't show your friends or such.
These type of "single psycho who seems innocent" type movies always seem more frustrating than scary. Like, it's just idiotic how EVERYONE believes the psycho and NOONE believes the victim. Especially when they're respected professionals. As a matter of fact, that's also the plot to What About Bob? So, try again movie makers.
Cape Fear did it well in both versions, but Kady was smart enough to play that card. He made it look like he was trying to seek an apology, and after Bowden admitted what he did, he lost all credibility until the coincidences added up. Every other single Psycho movie, it's they were too dumb to notice, or couldn't be bothered to care. What About Bob was a perfect parody of that. The one that bothers me the most is Single White Female... I mean, she made everyone and their dog shit their pants twice, yet no one thought it'd be a good idea to get the woman she was obsessed with somewhere safe and call the fucking cops?! At least they tried to exploit apathy as an excuse, they just weren't any good at it.
"Case 39" would be a better title for a horror movie based in a abandoned science lab in the middle of nowhere with a escaped creature on the loose in there, while hiding from it they hind some old folders with one called case 39, being the thing chasing the main cast
This film doesn't work as horror but could have worked as a dark fantasy drama. There's no on-screen evidence to support the believe of the parents that Lily is literally demonic. She's an unruly child with some specific paranormal abilities (note: might be set in the X-Men universe) who suffers because her parents don't know how to deal with her. When Emily is fully aware that it's all just illusions and that Lily has no power over her unless she's afraid, they have a real breakthrough. But then it becomes more interesting than we would have expected, because Lily starts to tackle _Emily's_ childhood trauma. When that fails to break Emily, what _should_ happen is that Emily gains Lily's respect, and that's where the film should have ended. - and it should have been a pilot for a sitcom show about child psychology with some phantastic elements.
There's a good concept underneath this: the anxiety that a lot of parents have that their child will either turn out "bad" or that it will take over their lives more insidiously...of course, you could ALSO go this film's route and do none of that, just making it a generic Omen knock-off.
+Based Millennial Jennifer Tully and Renee Zellweiger in the same room having to give a conversation, well...at least it isn't Nick Cage and Gary Busey??
She’s a demon, she’s saying that to emasculate him and to sow seeds of misery and doubt. Demons aren’t there to tell you truths, lol It worked, since she got what she wanted from him.
Good job on the review, Phelous! Another bad Horror Movie CASE, closed. (Turns around and walks away while putting sunglasses with an explosion in the background)
It would've been more interesting if Lily was a demon spawn that lived with her abusive demon father and the social worker (just doing her job) takes Lily from her dad and since no foster homes are available, has Lily stay with her. Then Lily's angry daddy comes back and starts killing everyone Lily's been in contact with, eventually coming after Lily and the social worker. Then, for the finale, Lily demons-up and takes her father down in an epic and sort of poetic battle to end his murderous oppression of her and everyone else. The twist could be an after-credits scene of Lily killing a school bully with her powers and grinning with delight.
Cause if you burn in your dreams then you burn for real...or something. Another movie where the writers thought having supernatural elements meant there was no need for consistency.
I believe the ending alludes to her mother dying in some terrific car accident maybe involving a big truck as seen in the illusion. Maybe the wreck caused a fire in the process.
I guess this was one of the last movies Reneé Zellweger made when she still had a recognizable face before her use of botox or surgery, I don't know, and she became unrecognizable. Seriously, she looks like a different person today & it kinda bugs me for some reason.
Isn't that kinda part of their job though? They got a report of some sort of suspected abuse or other child endangerment, they already have ideas of what's going on and try to get to the heart of the situation.
I wonder if one of the writers was trying secretly to be funny and being like "This is an allegory to a bratty kid!" lol. It makes sense then if thought of that way.
You know... For me, case 39 is one of those morally disgusting movies. You know why? Because, through the first half of the movie, there was absolutely no evidence that Lily was anything but a gentle, shy girl that was heavily abused by her paranoid parents which thought she was a hellspawn... And, in the secound half of the movie, we were shown that her parents were RIGHT. ... Do I need to say why else this movie causes me to feel flat-out hatred?
Dado Bojart Plus, do they ever really show any reason her parents had for being scared in the first place? Seems she only started murdering afterward. Did she ask them for too much ice scream?
Jeffrey314159 Also, if you haven't, you should watch it with Bill Paxton's commentary. It's pretty interesting and he shares some of more subtle hints toward the ending.
Jeffrey314159 Lol, yes, the entire premise is two sons raised by single dad who's kind of crazy and they hunts demons/monsters. And one son is obsessed with pleasing the dad while the other rebels. Not much beyond that, but I feel the folks who made the series could have been moldy inspired by the film.
I am almost surprised they got Al Pacino for this, but then I remembered his Adam Sandler movies... EDIT: oh wait that was Ian MacShane. Ah, he too is too good for this.
This movie is a sillier version of the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life." Also, Lily, SUBTLE!! V/H/S was more subtle with that name, mostly because it was never said onscreen.
Jeffrey314159 If this was Omen V and Delia has changed actresses. I haven't watched the Omen movies, I just looked up Omen IV because I remember looking it up.
Let me get this straight: You, uhm... You think there's a whole country (and one of the more populous, better educated ones, at that) that is COLLECTIVELY incapable of recognizing the signs of autism? Am I correct that this is the intended meaning of your comment? I wonder (as an American, I can't really be sure) if making an asinine statement like that is a sign of autism... Nah, I'm sure you're just a typical dumbass. Edit: You should do a quick google search on the percentage of reputable schools and doctors specializing in autism that are located in, or come FROM the U. S. Half-wit.
I hate it when people confuse bees and hornets. The only thing I hate worse is them confusing gerbils and hamster. I owned both for years, they don't even look the same!
I actually went to see this movie in theaters when it landed in the states. Mostly as an excuse to use a coupon i had for a free popcorn. I honestly found it more funny than Liar Liar.
James Lawman actually they ‘re right. Seeing this god-awful movie causes psychological issues! Also, what a big waste of great actors! I can see why Renée Zellweger took a hiatus after this
Oh, I dont know, it can be fucking terrifying to have evil kids demanding icecream. Of course, you have to do it right or it just comes across as silly
I've been thinking about ite and I know something I would change. First of, the hornets don't break his back. I would have had him slip and fall and break his head so it looked like an accident. The demon would start out cute and soft, but as Renee got more and now touted as the demon feed off of her love and happiness, I would have the demon get more and more frustrated then get angry, not understanding there was no more energy. I actually thought having her nag and nag and nag was great, since it was frustrating and irritating and grating. But the rest is the movie was so frustrating to watch the evil child was just sitting in a bad way.
did you watch it recently or did you watch it when it came out ? because obviously its gonna be easy to criticize it now becaue you arent as dumb as you were 8years ago and have had experiences with more movies and have a idea of whats going to happen when u watch said (old) movie
I've missed you reviewing bad horror movies (love the Silent Hill references as well as games lined up for this review). :D I remember seeing my brother and his wife watching this my response was, "Hey is that, that little girl from Silent Hill" in which after the affirmation of Yes I was like, "Okay you guys have fun, I'm not watching this".
Re:upload due to copyright flagging on some music or something and has now been fixed with Phelous singing? You should release an album one day, Phelous: Sings the Movies. Seriously, what have you changed here? No singing required, so what then? It's good review, especially that Duck Hunt ending.
Oh shit, I remember this! I remember my father watching it when I was younger and it creeped the shit out of me because I was a child and therefore easily scared, though I didn't even know its name until now. It's weird, even though it's not scary, even just watching this video gives me chills because I remember it scaring young me.
I actually think Jodelle Ferland is a really good actress but this film strays from suspense to unintended (or intentional) comedy to jumpscares back to slight horror and then over the top hilarity. Honestly I love it cause it's so funny. The dynamics between the characters is bizzare, but it's fun to watch 😂 "I want a hot fudge Sunday everyday, for every meal!" EMILY: "You'll get diabetes!" LILITH : "I'm a demon goddammit I can't contract any diseases you bitch!" 🤣
Wow I had forgotten all about this movie till now. I remember my neighbor had some bootleg copy and told me I had to watch it because it was "extremely scary and fucked up " So I watched it expecting something scary and awesome..Well I didn't think it was horrible, it held my attention to the end but I couldn't help but laugh at some of the little girls acting and dialogue. Could have been worse but it also could have been a hell of a lot better. Also every time I see Renee Zellweger I think of Joey Lauren Adams mixed with Jennifer Tilly.
@@troin3925 Pictures of Hollis Woods' her best TV performance, IMO. Paranorman is probably the only "good" movie she ever did after Silent Hill. Edit: Cabin In The Woods' good too, IMO, but she's quite a minor role there.
Why can Hollywood directors not competently direct children anymore? It is so rare to find a good child performance these days, I think most people sadly excuse bad performances from children just because they're children.
You know what's funny? I was actually thinking it would be great if the twist was she was an evil demon and instead of putting the demon in her in a ritual like they were setting it up in the horror norm they were trying to kill the demon. Clearly I was wrong!

I've been thinking about ite and I know something I would change. First of, the hornets don't break his back. I would have had him slip and fall and break his head so it looked like an accident.
The demon would start out cute and soft, but as Renee got more and now touted as the demon feed off of her love and happiness, I would have the demon get more and more frustrated then get angry, not understanding there was no more energy.
I actually thought having her nag and nag and nag was great, since it was frustrating and irritating and grating. But the rest is the movie was so frustrating to watch the evil child was just sitting in a bad way.
did you watch it recently or did you watch it when it came out ? because obviously its gonna be easy to criticize it now becaue you arent as dumb as you were 8years ago and have had experiences with more movies and have a idea of whats going to happen when u watch said (old) movie

I've missed you reviewing bad horror movies (love the Silent Hill references as well as games lined up for this review). :D
I remember seeing my brother and his wife watching this my response was, "Hey is that, that little girl from Silent Hill" in which after the affirmation of Yes I was like, "Okay you guys have fun, I'm not watching this".
8:15 was a missed opportunity to use the "7 days" soundbite. >:(
Re:upload due to copyright flagging on some music or something and has now been fixed with Phelous singing?
You should release an album one day, Phelous: Sings the Movies.
Seriously, what have you changed here? No singing required, so what then?
It's good review, especially that Duck Hunt ending.

The Red Green and Billy Mays jokes still make me laugh
Oh shit, I remember this! I remember my father watching it when I was younger and it creeped the shit out of me because I was a child and therefore easily scared, though I didn't even know its name until now. It's weird, even though it's not scary, even just watching this video gives me chills because I remember it scaring young me.
Should've called the Winchester Brothers.
Lew Archer 1949 So they can what? Parade how "hot" they are to lure teenage girls into thinking that crap is actually good?
@@lucasbell4831it’s entertaining crap
Hey Phelous, is there any chance you could review an 80's horror movie called "Rawhead Rex"? Or is that a bit to old for this show?
no, the one that came out 50 years ago during that period in the 1960s colloquially referred to as "the 80s".
This is why I would make a terrible social worker. I'd be arrested my first week on the job for murdering a child abuser.
anyone know the song at the start is called the one that starts at 0:10?

10:25-10:41 You'll float too, You'll float too, You'll float too, You'll Float Too, YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!!!
Few things frustrate me more than a good concept done poorly.
Aww, maannn, you know shit has gotten serious when Phelous brings out the humorously inappropriate sound effects.
Dat end bit, doe... :]
I just watched this movie yesterday, then this popped up into my suggestions! :D
I love that Silent Hill music. By the way Phelan, SILENT HILL!! SILENT HILL!!
I actually think Jodelle Ferland is a really good actress but this film strays from suspense to unintended (or intentional) comedy to jumpscares back to slight horror and then over the top hilarity. Honestly I love it cause it's so funny. The dynamics between the characters is bizzare, but it's fun to watch 😂 "I want a hot fudge Sunday everyday, for every meal!"
EMILY: "You'll get diabetes!"
LILITH : "I'm a demon goddammit I can't contract any diseases you bitch!" 🤣
case 39 is her 39th case, symbolism?
Wow I had forgotten all about this movie till now. I remember my neighbor had some bootleg copy and told me I had to watch it because it was "extremely scary and fucked up " So I watched it expecting something scary and awesome..Well I didn't think it was horrible, it held my attention to the end but I couldn't help but laugh at some of the little girls acting and dialogue. Could have been worse but it also could have been a hell of a lot better. Also every time I see Renee Zellweger I think of Joey Lauren Adams mixed with Jennifer Tilly.
15:05 the reason I watched this today...in 2018. The rest is already awesome
SILENT HILLLLLLL!!!
Jodelle Ferland seems to have bad luck and keeps getting stuck in crap movies such as this. Also nice RedGreen reference, I love that show!
+Acobjum One non crappy film she was on that I can think of was Cabin In The Woods.
@@troin3925 Pictures of Hollis Woods' her best TV performance, IMO. Paranorman is probably the only "good" movie she ever did after Silent Hill.
Edit: Cabin In The Woods' good too, IMO, but she's quite a minor role there.
Why can Hollywood directors not competently direct children anymore? It is so rare to find a good child performance these days, I think most people sadly excuse bad performances from children just because they're children.
A Classic Episode!?!

Phelous would make a good orc.
Looks like that it had potential. Too bad.
I dunno why; but I just love the ending of this review with the Duckhunt reference.
You know what's funny? I was actually thinking it would be great if the twist was she was an evil demon and instead of putting the demon in her in a ritual like they were setting it up in the horror norm they were trying to kill the demon. Clearly I was wrong!
So after a night of drinking she decided maybe she would be a good morher
