Stevie (2008)

Best movie of this year hands down!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

stevie (2008) This is another re-watch, I seen it once before, I liked the first time I saw, which wasn't that long, it's only few months ago that I saw it. However did forget the name of the movie lol, The movie wasn't forgettableafter a long and unsuccessful period trying to have a family, Claire and Adrian finally adopt a girl. The coming of Isabel is desired by almost the whole family but making a eight-year-old girl with a past of her own fit into her new life might be something more complicated than they expected.With this plot you maybe think of a The omen rip-off, well it's not, it Actually about Girls invisible friend but there turns in story, not twist, there more curve ball. There some good scenes in this movie, which liked, As it was TV movie there no blood or anything and it's wasn't that creepy, yet some seen really stand out! I enjoyed how the movie flowed really well, I didn't get bored, I really liked how plot came to a end, I thought a Nice and very moving ending to this movie.It made all sense in the end! Really good movie 7 out of 10

A couple adopt a girl called Isabelle and strange things start happening in the family home which the girl says is caused by another person who no one can see. Good acting. There is not a lot of action but the film keeps you guessing and was at the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. Unpredictable unlike many horrors. Not the sort of film that makes you jump out of your seat, and not thrill a minute but keeps you quietly curious until the end. You just want everything to be alright but it isn't.Both the woman and her husband live busy lives and try to cope with the situation, but not knowing what to do. The girls feels scared and threatened and turns to her new mother for comfort, with some interference from the woman's mother in law.

It has, shall we say, a less than favourable rating on the "big" internet sites, but this is not a creeper movie that should readily be dismissed. Certainly it puts to shame some of the bigger budgeted horror films that have come our way in the last ten years.Plot finds grieving parents Adrian (Jordi Molla) and Claire (Catherine McCormack) moving to Ireland. After a tragedy befalls one of their neighbours, they adopt orphaned child Isabel (Ida Jorgensen). Their life finally seems to be on track, but when Isabel starts talking about her imaginary friend, Stevie, Claire becomes convinced that he may not actually be imaginary after all. Especially when things appear to get malevolent.The makers aren't setting out to make a terrifying horror film, they want, and achieve, to make a psychological thriller that is more about grief than anything supernatural. The reveal at film's finale is actually fine closure, even if it asks much of its expectant audience.A made-for-TV creeper that's well produced, well performed and not without genuine moments of unease. It's unlikely to be anyone's favourite movie, but there's good value here if expectation levels are set at "late night time filler" mode. 6/10

After adopting a nice girl, a workaholic couple come to learn the truth behind her fear of an imaginary friend only she can see, and as their lives begin to unravel they find the true cause of the being's appearance and must stop it before it's too late.A pretty flawed effort, this one really has a lot to really drag it down but not a great deal that it gets right. The few bright spots are the few times it really lets the ghost's presence be felt, which isn't often but generate some fine sequences nonetheless, including the dollhouse attack and the fire in the kitchen among a few others. Beyond those, though, there's not a whole lot this really gets right as it's an endless series of clichés built upon the nonsensical nature of no one believing the mother who they continually claim to be unbalanced and mentally unstable, which goes nowhere and has become very tired overall. That really drags the middle of the film down and really brings the film to a halt far too often, giving this one a pretty dragged-out feeling and more of a Drama feel than out-and-out Horror. On top of that, it's not sure what kind of film it wants to be, since there's a feeling of it being either the ghost of the girl's deceased adoption home friend or the spirit of her unborn baby seeking revenge for being forgotten, and it plays both out while never connecting any threads and making it one big mess. It's been done before and better, so this is a very flawed effort.Rated PG-13: Violence, Language and children-in-jeopardy.
