This is a nasty and morally repulsive film.

Reviews for Case 39
It is universally terrible in virtually every department, save for the creepy charisma displayed by young Ferland.
Case 39 is slow, painful and one suspects for both Cooper and Renee Zellweger full of regrets.
This is one of the least scary, dumbest movies I’ve seen in a long time.
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.
Stale reheat of the creepy kid genre. No point investigating. Case closed.
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.
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.
