Sick Product of a Sick System

Purely Joyful Movie!

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Nice movie made with pretty involving plot development followed by tones of chill and mystery. I love the way that Michael investigates the crime. Very good acting, very good camera work and above all pretty tense movie. What could have made this movie looks better are few holes in movie developing. First of all there is a lack of the film music. It is a pity that such a good film work wasn't granted with any music whatsoever. Also, there are some holes in the character development. It looks somehow strange that one of the main characters (don't wanna spoil your fun and name him) simply disappears in another half of the movie. Could have been used after that at least at the end. The same goes with the smaller roles of Michael's psychiatrist and her chief. They show up in the movie and then they vanish without trace. All in all, nice entertainment for your night hours.

This is one of my favorite TV movies. I watch Lifetime quite often as they have some good mysteries, but am not normally impressed with the quality of the movies in the sense they mostly seem to be formulaic (and often overtly or ambivalently anti-male). This however is a TERRIFIC movie. Though part mystery, part fantasy, it is very realistic and emotionally seductive. Bell is VERY believable and sympathetic (and also beautiful). For once in an LMN movie the males are not totally stupid, insensitive or uncaring. I loved the ending when I found the apparently "bad" guy (who looked menacing and scary) was actually a hero. The twists and turns were not only surprising but touching. Rarely have I FELT so much in a movie. It raises some disturbing issues but resolves in a positive but believable way. I purchased this on DVD as it is a movie I can watch over and over. The soundtrack reinforces the uncertainty and the emotions, the acting is uniformly good, the script very believable (though addressing supernatural or paranormal issues), the direction crisp and production values relatively high. I recommend this to anyone who likes FEEL GOOD movies and can handle a little bit of fantasy.

Who said movies these days aren't good enough? If your one of those typical type of people than you have so got to see this movie...One word "terrific" i saw it on the movie channel quite from between but couldn't leave without seeing the ending, so awesomely pictured, directed, narrated and mostly acted Catherine bell was superb her name's Micheal(you will see for yourselves what's with the boyish name in the ending) and she's a 911 operator(you know those people who pick up calls for the 991) one day she gets this mysterious phone call from a kid, a 'little girl who she finds out to be dead for over thirty years while she's at her own stake of problems with her baby girl Emma being still born shocked and begins hearing voices and seeing dreams of a horrifying man banging on the door a scary hippy guy with a tattoo on his chest and a picture of a girl and the sides of the picture curled by burns.... and with her curiosity and her conscious pounding her journey begins and it's hell of a journeyIt's quite confusing at times but definitely worth watching because of t's satisfying ending believe me never seen a better ending for a movie in my entire life, be in for a surprise when you see the ending, i promise you whether your a kid or a grown up or a teen like me or even an old aged person this movie will leave you amazed and thinking and of this amazing actress!!!Pls don't miss it... i assure you will love it no matter what!!!

I am not normally a TV movie fan but this one kept me riveted from the start and left me an emotional puddle at the end! I saw the trailers and was expecting one thing but the story turned out to be something entirely different. There was nothing predictable or formulaic about it, that's for sure! The only minor criticism I have is with some of the secondary character actors...slightly overacted at times, but the story line/writing more than made up for the minor distraction. Was this an original screenplay or adapted from a book? I have a feeling the book would be even better because there seemed to be a lot of symbolism and detail that could have been missed if you weren't paying close attention in the movie (and could have been more significant/dramatic in book form). Loved the movie...I'd buy the book!
