Case 39 Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Almost identical to 2009's Orphan, Case 39 does little keep your attention as its riddled with cliches--menacing music, domino casualties, and predictable horror plotline.
We Got This Covered
Matt Joseph
Despite its initial premise showing promise, Case 39 turns out to be boring, predictable and nothing new.
Examiner.com
Jeff Beck
While it's able to pull you in at some points with its eerie mood, it needed a lot more originality and better scares than the cheap kind of just having things pop up out of nowhere.

Dave White
[A] dumb thriller.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a decent little horror flick...
IGN DVD
R.L. Shaffer
Not only is Case 39 deplorable and morally off-center, the film is dull to boot.
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
What starts out as slight and fairly obvious turns into a frequently colorful horror tale.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...we get a couple of moments of genuine suspense combined with a whole lot of cheap thrills.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
... before the movie is half over, the usual cliches take over ...
Film Threat
Elias Savada
Its time to put the nail in the otherworldly evil child genre until someone comes up with something original. The only thing supernatural about Case 39 is its ungodly presence on this planet.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Linda Cook
What do you do with a crummy horror movie that has been sitting on the shelf for a couple, or maybe three, years?
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Neither so awful as to be enjoyable nor eerily artful enough to be anything other than a snoozy also-ran.
Boston Globe
Ethan Gilsdorf
It's a bummer when the audience is smarter than the protagonist.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
By the time the killings start, it's clear that Ray Wright's screenplay is more interested in following formula than in breaking new ground.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The devil made them do it, but that doesn't mean you have to see it.
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
This supernaturally tinged tale only goes skin-deep and is proud of it, wasting little time in establishing narrative basics and getting to the good stuff.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
An aggressively inept demon-seed chiller starring a bunch of grown-ups who should've known better.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
[Plays] like one more piece of multiplex in-box clutter, ready for the circular file in our moviegoing consciousness.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Miscast, poorly-directed, and just-plain boring, Case 39 never clicks into place.
Variety
Jordan Mintzer
This ludicrous outing from helmer Christian Alvart and scribe Ray Wright takes its psycho-satanic babble much too seriously, and should elicit more laughs than frights.
