The plot device of adults protecting children is a time-honored subject in horror films. An omnipresent evil plotting and casting its inky tendrils toward the young and innocent has been seen in films as diverse as John Schlesinger’s Santeria-inflected The Believers, the Dean Koontz adaptation The Servants Of Twilight and Chuck Russell’s misguided Bless The Child. The defense of youth inspires the most protective of emotions in audiences, and the latest film to tap into these specific emotions is Paramount’s supernatural thriller Case 39.
Directed by German up-and-comer Christian Alvart, who first attracted attention with his serial-murder saga Antibodies and subsequently helmed this fall’s sci-fi chiller Pandorum, from a script by Pulse’s Ray Wright, Case 39 stars Oscar-winner Renee Zellweger, Deadwood’s Ian McShane and ubiquitous young actress Jodelle Ferland.

Rufus Sewell, who stars in the haunted-jungle tale Vinyan (now out on DVD from Sony Pictures; see an exclusive clip below), thinks acting is a sham. More to the point, he agrees with writer extraordinaire David Mamet that acting schools are just out to rip you off—including London’s School of Speech and Drama, which he himself attended. However, he does acknowledge the benefits of such institutions as well.
“I believe it’s definitely worth getting that training, but I also don’t disagree with Mamet,” Sewell says. “It’s all a damn sham anyway, but if you want a part in the sham, you go along with it to a certain extent.
