Stevie (TV Movie 2008)

Stevie: Directed by Bryan Goeres. With Catherine McCormack, Jordi Mollà, Silvia Tortosa, Lana Buchyk. After a long and unsuccessful period trying to have a family, Claire and Adrian finally adopt a girl. The arrival of Isabel is welcomed by almost the whole family, but adjusting an eight-year-old girl with a past of her own to a new life might be something more complicated than they expected. Strange things start to happen from the moment Isabel and “her imaginary friend Stevie” come to live with them. The situation becomes more complicated when Stevie’s behavior becomes aggressive. Only Claire and Isabel know that Stevie is more than just a figment of Isabel’s imagination. Claire will do everything to find out who Stevie is and what he wants. Perhaps if she succeeds, she will be able to recoup their lives and have the family she had desired for so long.

“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 isnu0026#39;t.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBoth the woman and her husband live busy lives and try to cope with the situation, but not knowing what to do.
