| E! OnlineLuke Y. Thompson...the scares go top-notch thanks to a creepy performance by young Jodelle Ferland. |
| Examiner.comAdam LippeIf I'm to understand the movie as it is presented, demons do not enjoy passive aggression, it only enrages them further, and to avoid a demon, it's best if you're neither a nice nor smart person, because then the demon has nothing to work with. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekIt would have been better for all concerned if this 'Case' had remained closed. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawShlocky and ridiculous it may be, but this horror-thriller really is gleefully gruesome and undeniably entertaining: smart work from German director Christian Alvert. |
| Filmcritic.comBill GibronParamount has little faith in this supernatural fright film...and with good reason |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeAs demonic children movies go, it?s really not bad -- and the acting makes it seem a little better than that. |
| MovielineMichelle OrangeThere is enough lurid, ludicrous subtext in the material to keep fans of such things happy. As trash, this is top of the line. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfHilariously inept, absent even a drop of everyday logic, and mistakes rowdy thespian reaction for suspense...can't seem to make any sense of itself, to a point where the whole endeavor just gives up. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice FrederickAlmost 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. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThis ramshackle movie features a preposterous plot, dodgy direction and clunky editing, and yet it's great fun to watch the actors squirm with fear. |
