If you've seen "Orphan" and, maybe "The Last Exorcism", this flick is a combination of both elements involving psychotic kids and demonic kids. More of that. Renee Puckersquint plays a social worker who interviews a seemingly dysfunctional family whom she assumes is harboring a neglected child. She gets a call one night from the ten year old girl who says she's is in trouble and Renee runs to the rescue to find the parents stuffing the screaming kid into an oven. Incident clumsily averted and the parents are arrested while the little girl goes to live with Renee Lemonface-Chipmunkcheeks. Kid seems fine at first, but as it turns out, she's a 'lil demon (maybe the Devil) and kills a few of Renee's friends before threatening her own life...
The highlight of the film is definitely the bee scene, in which a yuppie douche-bag (with an admitted fear of bees) starts pulling bees out of his ears and soon his eyes until he eventually goes berserk and kills himself. There's also a dude who is attacked by a guard dog in his car, but instead of shooting the dog, he shoots HIMSELF in the head! Hardly a scene goes by without something downright hysterical taking place, for example - a fat Japanese guy with a little girl voice, the demon girl swan diving out a window and then go running in that choppy, fast-motion style that Hollywood seems to find so "scary", and, of course, when she does the equally typical crawl from "The Grudge"! "Case 39" is so fucking ridiculously dumb that it could no doubt be passed off as comic gold! Check it out!
