 Stories of this type are not exciting. Especially in a genre like horror, where the recent years have been a triumph of banality.

 It’s unfortunate for the talented Zellweger, forced against her will to deal with a little demon but, above all, forced to act in a 'film' that is the result of the absolute lack of creativity into which American horror has sunk.

Case 39 falls victim to a stale horror trend featuring demonic children, failing to deliver originality or impactful scares. While the first half-hour shows promise, the film quickly deteriorates into unengaging and uninspired territory. Despite Renee Zellweger's talent, the film lacks creativity and gore intensity, making it a forgettable entry in recent American horror cinema. Read the full review and decide if Case 39 is worth your horror pick or a redundant trope to skip.

 Overall, this is an unconvincing album, although there are still 2/3 strong pieces.

 The lyrics are increasingly difficult because their writing might be more suited to a book of poetry than a song.

Mango's 2011 album 'La terra degli aquiloni' struggles with slow pacing and unconvincing tracks. While some songs like 'Dove ti perdo' and 'Il pazzo' stand out with emotional depth and engaging rhythm, the album overall lacks energy and radio appeal. The lyrics lean more towards poetry than catchy songwriting, making the album less accessible. Discover Mango's 'La terra degli aquiloni' and explore its emotional highs and lyrical depth despite mixed reviews.

 What emerges in their songs is mainly their inexperience, highlighted by approximate solutions and basic ideas still in a full evolutionary phase.

 The growl in the vocal part is decidedly "forced," a piece that doesn't convince at all.
