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.

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.
