Case 39

Case 39 (2009) is a supernatural horror thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Social worker Emily Jenkins pulls ten-year-old Lilith out of a home where the parents seem ready to harm their own daughter. Convinced she has rescued a victim, Emily takes the girl in. She could not be more wrong.

Renée Zellweger plays Emily, with Jodelle Ferland as the unsettling Lilith and Ian McShane and Bradley Cooper rounding out the cast. The closer Emily lets the child into her life, the more strange and violent deaths pile up around her. That sweet, soft-spoken girl is hiding something, and one case file turns into a fight to stay alive.

Directed by German filmmaker Christian Alvart, the film carries a colder, European streak of dread into an American setting. The tagline puts it plainly: some cases should never be opened. Stream Case 39 (2009) online on iFILM.
