(5 stars) - Excellent thriller...loved it
This was my favorite movie of the summer of 2009, and I saw roughly 20 films. I am not a horror movie fan but something about this film intrigued me..."there's something wrong with Esther"...that made me get up and go see it in the theaters. I absolutely loved this film. I thought each of the actors played their role perfectly in this film, particularly our leading star whose name I cannot recall as I'm writing this. Vera Farmiga also does a particularly fine job and I wish she was in more leading roles, herself as I think she's quite talented. This particular DVD comes with footage of an alternate ending which I somewhat liked better than that shown in the final cut, along with some deleted scenes which I suppose are worth watching once.

I rate this film (and DVD) five stars and give it my highest recommendation as a horror film/thriller and more importantly, as a movie laden with memorable lines by Esther like "There...its in Heaven now..." or "Going somewhere Kate...?" Heh heh.

Enjoy!

(4 stars) - Surprisingly Good and Intense
When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I thought "Oh God, another one of those movies." But I was surprised that after I'd gone and seen it, I'd actually thoroughly enjoyed it.

Isabelle Fuhrman is the "orphan"; that is, 9-year-old Esther who seems a little strange and morbid despite the adopted parents instance attraction to her. When violent events began taking place that are connected to Esther, the parents began to suspect that there is more to the little girl than appears.

Fuhrman definitely was the right choice for the role of Esther; she has an attractive face and her youth doesn't strain her acting abilities which were very convincing. I won't lie though; the movie was very grisly, and even I had to turn away from the screen a few times. Even the twist ending really shocked me, and I'm not easily shocked. I really think that despite how it looks, give it a shot, because it wasn't a bad little movie. It was well acted, well thought out, and seriously creepy.

(5 stars) - bitch from hell
this person had some serious issues! a women trapped in a little girls body, who would have ever thought that. hell everyone is going to want her secret not ageing....ha-ha. this is a movie you have to stay in your seat and watch every minute of it.

(2 stars) - okay only really got good half way through
I couldnt wait for this movie to hit theaters when i had seen it, it seemed a little slow for me i guess i expecited more half way through it got going and it wasnt really till the end of the movie it got really good with a huge twist i wasnt expecting, over all its okay to watch once and mabey own a copy of but i wouldnt spend a ton of money on that copy.

(5 stars) - this movie is off the hook!
between this and star trek to me are the best two films of 2009 too bad this movie didnt get enough promo! the twist alone makes the movie off the hook. it is hard nowadays to find a good horror movie with good story, acting and kill scenes but this movie delivers all the way to the finish. it kinda starts out a lil slow but picks up like a kirby vacuum cleaner quick. buy this movie horror fans it is well worth the $20!
