Plot:

While babysitting a boy and his baby brother, Casey Beldon has a dreadful nightmare involving a weird dog and an evil child, and she tells her best friend Romy over the phone. Casey is haunted by this boy, and when she goes to the ophthalmologist, he asks if she has a twin brother or sister. She asks her father and discovers that her mother lost a son that died in the womb. Casey suspects that she is haunted by the spirit of her brother. She finds a letter addressed to a woman called Sofi Kozma and a creepy picture at home that belonged to her mother. She goes with Romy to a retirement home to meet Sofi, a survivor of the experiments during the Holocaust. But Sofi tells Casey that she had never met her mother and later calls Casey to tell her she is in great danger.The exorcism is performed, but when the dybbuk tries to stop Rabbi Sendak and others from completing the ritual, things go terribly awry and several people are wounded and killed. The dybbuk then begins chasing Casey and her boyfriend Mark through the building having possessed a priest. Mark kills the priest with a large pipe before finally he is possessed. He then chases and tries to kill Casey. She stabs him in the neck with a necklace given to her by Sofi, then Rabbi Sendak arrives and he and Casey are able to complete the exorcism. This draws the dybbuk out of the human world, but Mark falls and dies during the separation. Casey mourns him and finds out later on that she is pregnant by him, with twins.

Review:

Casey Beldon hated her mother for leaving her as child. But when inexplicable things start to happen , Casy begins to realize and understand why she left. Plagued by merciless dreams and a tortured ghosts that haunts her waking hours, she must turn to the only spiritual adviser Sendak, who can make it stop. Now, let me ask you one question. When would you venture into spooky places to discover potential danger ahead? When ghosts haunt you and everything else fails would be the most logical answer in every movie. However the first scene of this movie expects you to find it very reasonable that returning a lost glove to a beaten up kid and meeting an angry dog wearing an upwards down face paper mask will make you go into the nearby forest and start digging out something potentially dangerous attached to a blue string from the ground. Okay, children wanting to be born. Childbirth is a specific thing only women not men can do so 50% of the audience doesn't worry about giving birth to children. Now, even among females most find the (actually painful and bloody process) of giving birth as something wonderful and fluffy etc. So I guess less than 10% of the females think of it as a gross and scary thing, which leaves 5% of the audience associating themselves with this fear. It seems that at one point of no return the film makers understood this themselves and... Special effects made the horror elements are not totally bad but they are unrelated to it. Like, boogie scares with ghost from behind saying boo when you expect it the most, bugs pouring from walls with yellow liquid (like in Silent Hill), these staple elements seem to be used in every horror movie right now regardless of the content. Like, what does bugs have to do with childbirth? It wasn't even related anyhow within the plot, it just WAS there. Because bugs pouring on you or finding eating some on accident is disgusting or scary for basically every person. This was really a parody in its worst meaning. Not only I did not find anything actually scary within the movie, there was even a supposedly scary scene where the audience burst into laughter (SPOILER: the scene where old man with retardation turning head for 180 degrees and chasing granny with funnily bent body). This is one thing a horror movie must be improved. But I don't say that if it fails, it turns into a disastrous failure at the moment when it does the opposite of what it's supposed to do . Well it is the same as with that scene in The Omen where the bulldog was chasing main hero down a white trench where the main hero opened a hole in the bottom part and dog fell down in a cartoon comedy manner. Well my point is it will look scarier if they planned it better. Full of cliché'd phrases, like "Jamby wants to be born now" which is supposed to be scary but it isn't, all cliché, badly linked together and very unoriginal, and the writers even went so far as to insert sentences indicating that the black best friend of the main heroine will die later in the story, making it more predictable than it already was. Also it was funny how after (SPOILER AHEAD) granny explained her theory to the main heroine of how she thinks this world has many dimensions and it has never been safe there, ALL OTHER characters start to view that as common knowledge. Only shows that script writer thought of this character development from his own and not each individual character's point of view. It is not enough that the scenario was slightly bad. Main actors were chosen by come utterly incomprehensible standards, main heroine was emotionless doll face for the most part like Megan Fox and the guy acting as her boyfriend was, well, an unnoticeable timid commoner whose face I couldn't remember and I understood he was the guy was the bf only at the last scene. The granny played her part best of all people, though.

Rate: 2/5

I hated this movie.
Boring, weird and only one good scene.
Even the poster needed to add the ass otherwise people wouldn't go see it.
I mean, the kid was named after that floating head in Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
