Film Review Babblin’ Bobby Blakey

Danika (2006)

Marisa Tomei
Craig Bierko
Regina Hall

Directed by Ariel Vromen


Plot: When devoted wife and mother, Danika Merrick, begins experiencing a series of terrifying delusions, she wonders whether she is actually having visions of future events or she is slowly slipping into insanity.

Review: What happened to that cute woman who won the Academy Award for the great film My Cousin Vinnie? Well apparently she was making this movie. Could this be her comeback film or will this put Marisa Tomei back into the mysterious void she has been in?

Surprisingly this movie turned out to be pretty good. It’s hard to watch at first, because the story is all over the place. If you stick with the film it has an interesting twist with the ending. Marisa gives a good performance and carries the film nicely. This is in no way a great movie, but it was decent and enjoyable. The cover is a little deceiving; making you think it is a horror film, which it is not. This film is more of a thriller/mystery. There is nothing creepy or scary about this movie. If you are looking for a good straight to DVD film, then check it out.
