Movie Reviews of The Return (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: After seeing this, I forgive Sarah for making The Grudge 2
Summary: 5 Stars
Sarah Michelle Gellar must have known that The Grudge 2 was going to be a total flop, so she probably begged to be killed off early so she could move on to better projects. One of those projects must have been The Return. No, this isn't a horror movie. It's a psychological thriller that does an awesome job of challenging the mind. It will keep you guessing till the end!
Think Six Sense meets What Lies Beneath. Both were brilliant supernatural films that pulled you along, teasing you with just breadcrumbs of plot, making you beg to know how it was going to end...only to offer up a twist that denounced every guess you'd made so far. The Return ranks way up there with the best of these mind-teasing films.
Backwoods La Salle Texas offers up a creepy backdrop to this easy paced thriller, although I kept thinking it should have been Arkansas with its rusted out cars in the yard and livestock auctions. The creepy big houses in the middle of nowhere were a bit Texas Chainsaw-like and I half expected Leatherface himself to tear out of the barn at any minute. An old dank bar next to a silo, the eerie lifeless hotel with raw meat hanging from hooks, the county carnival in the middle of a wheat field...all of these spooky places serve up interesting imagery to this story.
Darker hair and all, I believed Sarah standing there at the country crossroads in the middle of nowhere. Her fear and terror were real, and not B-movie scream queen like. And I never thought a Patsy Cline song could be so creepy!
The Return is simple, but well thought out. The alternate ending at the end of the DVD would have changed most of the beginning of the movie. I liked the one they stayed with better. But there is one deleted scene that offers up a bit of explanation for a disgruntled fellow employee having followed Sarah to town.
All that aside, see The Return for what it is destined to be...a cult classic thriller that suits this genre so well.
