Isabelle Fuhrman returns to the role of child psychopath Esther. She was 12 when the original film came out, she is now 25, but in the plot she passes for an even younger girl than the film that screened her in 2009, since the story is a prologue.
Directed by William Brent Bell (“Evil Doll”), the film shows how Leena Klammer (Fuhrman), who escaped from an asylum in Russia, managed to pretend to be the missing daughter of a wealthy family, becoming Esther. The cast also highlights Julia Stiles (“Jason Bourne”) and Rossif Sutherland (“Catastrophe”) as Esther’s parents.
