This film shows that meeting strangers is as scary as we first consider. Peter Jackson (director) really delivers the message, showing how the murder occured. It is quite a mysterious and scary movie with twisted and quite weird features particularly when Susie entered "The Inbetween." I rate this film four stars considering the scariness of it, the mustery behind it all and who it was and the actual moral. It was actually quite a scary film when Susie's journey started. I was literally covering my eyes. The realism, however, is on a different scale and the movie actually provokes the human mind because it makes you contemplate what lies beind death- a new life or plain nothing? That question puzzled me and I am still trying to figure it out. I like that it provokes us and makes us think because most movies don't do that. I also like how the moral comes to life and it lingers after a while when the credits of the film is shown at the end. The Lovely Bones is based on a death- NOT an ordinary death. And infact, it is NOT like most scary movies I have watched. Most horrors have quite predictable endings but because The Lovely Bones was sooo twisting, mysterious, weird but cool, you couldn't quite know what would happen at the end. I like this film because of how much it makes you think, be scared and actually feel quite sad. Four stars from me because the scariness, awesomeness, mystery and sorrow affects you in different ways- not in a negative way, but in a quite cool and good way. A good movie. :)
