The child \u00a0is assigned case number 39. Lilith is a young girl who has seemingly been put through hell. Unfortunately, there is more to this scared, abused and beaten down child than anyone who is alive actually knows.<\/p>\n<p>Though I am not a \u00a0<a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000250\/?ref_=tt_ov_st\">Ren\u00e9e Zellweger<\/a>\u00a0fan, the woman has great range and can act.

She does it well and is notorious for making you feel uneasy in her on-screen presence.<\/p>\n<p>I actually enjoyed this movie. The characters were not played over the top as they often are in this genre and there are several surprises waiting for you&#8230; around a corner&#8230; under a box.
