Running time: 109 mins. Starring: Renee Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, Ian McShane, Callum Keith Rennie, Kerry O’Malley, Bradley Cooper. Director: Christian Alvart.

In Christian Alvart’s ludicrous, supernatural yarn, Renee Zellweger takes the lead as social worker Emily, who takes in 10-year-old Lillith (Jodelle Ferland) after saving her from being killed by her parents.

Enlisting the help of psychiatrist colleague Douglas (Bradley Cooper), Emily tries to heal the wounds of the young girl’s past, but strange disturbances make Emily wonder why Lillith’s parents wanted their daughter dead.
