This is one of the least scary, dumbest movies I’ve seen in a long time.

Reviews for Case 39
I'm sure it will do decent business among the undemanding weekend-horror crowd and Zellweger fans when it eventually sees the light of day. Nobody else need apply.
Stale reheat of the creepy kid genre. No point investigating. Case closed.
It is universally terrible in virtually every department, save for the creepy charisma displayed by young Ferland.
On the strength of Case 39, Zellweger could easily play den mother to a brood of hillbilly psychos in a film by Rob Zombie. That would be horror worthy of the name.
A deftly made horror thriller with plenty of scares, Case 39 may be predictable and somewhat heavy handed, but it ticks all the boxes for the genre.
