All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I have a few issues with this film, so take a seat. Would a defense lawyer really be able to get bail for a suspected baby murderer, and why would he arrange it so she would stay with him? I mean... this gal has already been suspected of starting two fires (One of which killed the infant) at the couple's home she's working as an au pair for, in a short space of time... and even the attorney starts to question his decision. But do we ever hear a satisfactory reason why he made such an offer? Nope.Even worse, when a blaze is started in the bedroom she's staying in at his home which destroys his shutters, AND it transpires later she lied in open court about her mother dying of a heart attack when the real cause was... guess what... a HOUSEFIRE... What does he do? Why, continue to represent her of course, and keep her on as a guest. Even when she starts trying on his dead wife's clothes without permission.Either this chap has a death wish, or he really is The Most Stupid Man In The World. Of course, we find out the fire epidemic may be caused by an unconscious supernatural trauma rather than deliberate arson, but how is HE supposed to know that? And it goes against everything he believes, being a member of a secular court process. So, why does he persevere? No idea.It's got an interesting cast too... Charlotte Rampling as a nun who also doubles as a psychiatrist. Sienna Guillory as the accused killer. And Mark Strong as the dumb-as-a-post lawyer, who's got a few skeletons in his own closet (Don't we all?). Oddly enough, despite being set in Italy, we barely hear any Italian accents, and certainly hear none of their language. Well, apart from the odd waiter. Stereotyping, much? Anyway, regardless of my complaints, it's not a terrible film and is more average than offensive.I'm not having any of this 'Based On A True Story' malarkey though. I mean... we all remember what happened with Derek Acorah now... 5/10

This is one of those foreign movies that gets my attention because the characters are mysterious and the setting is the way i like it: European.The story is intriguing and the ending confirms all suspicions the viewer can have and ends in a deja-vu sort of way, which I guess not a lot of people like because they're used to the Hollywood crap with happy endings and guy keeping the girl after all, well this is not the case, and it is refreshing that these kind of movies are still being made. Even if people still don't understand it, it's something that's nice to the eyes and to the ears.A mature movie deserves a mature audience, if anyone else differs with my opinion, then there's nothing I can do or even want to do.

Loosely based on a true story, Superstition is the tale of a British Au-Pair working in Italy, accused of using Witchcraft and Firestarting, after some fatal, fire related incidents. We then follow the story of her battle through the courts and her fight for innocence.The film has some decent acting and some quite disturbing scenes, but is largely forgettable and brings nothing new to the genre.It's OK if your desperate to see it, but if you have any doubt don't bother, it's probably not worth the effort.5/10For some decent Supernatural thrills, Try Sixth Sense, Stir of Echoes, What Lies Beneath or even Gothika, before you try this.

I really don't like with the woman whom is the main character in this film. Usually we like the female main character, but I really think that she is stupid, and very suck. She can't do anything without his lawyer help, and she's acting like crazy people.This movie is not really good, because: 1. The scenario is weakness. 2. There is to much flash back which make me bored and confused. 3. One part and the other part sometime doesn't have clear relationship. 4. The ending is not finished yet, which make me hate this film. 5. Fool female main character which people usually don't like because too weak. 6. Very stupid create film about fire if even the main character problem is not known well.
