Meanwhile, down on earth, Mr. Harvey is feeling confident that he's covered his tracks well enough to get away with the crime, and begins honing in on his next victim -- Susie's younger sister, Lindsey (Rose McIver), who's beginning to suspect that he's not the harmless suburbanite he portrays himself to be.

    Having read the book last year, I was so very interested in this movie coming out. I loved the textures in the movie, the colors, and the scenery they used to portray her heaven. I think the movie does a beautiful job bringing the story to life. While one would normally be tempted to call this story a tragedy after reading the synopsis, you see how in this movie and in the book, the story is more triumphant than sad in the end. Beautiful story that completes you at the end. I highly recommend this one.

    THIS WAS KIND OF TOUGH TO WATCH BECAUSE OF THE STORYLINE, BUT THE MOVIE ITSELF AND THE CHARCTERS WERE SUPERBLY DISPLAYED.
