Story: Fourteen-year-old Susie Salmon dies an untimely death after she falls prey to a psychopath who lives next door. Instead of going directly to heaven, she hovers in-between, unable to break off the ties with her grieving family and friends. Will she be able to finally forgive, let go and leave her family to pick up the strings of life again? Difficult question. 

Movie Review: Peter Jackson presents a totally new perspective on serial killing with this unusual and tragic tale of a bunch of young girls who linger between heaven and earth after suffering brutal deaths at the hands of a heartless psychopath. Unable to cut off their bonds from their families, the hapless souls sail through a purgatory-like world, waiting for deliverance. And while they wait, they try an communicate with their loved ones through strange mediums, hoping to hang on to earthly love, as long as they can.... 

Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan) is unable to leave her family and her boyfriend, even though she has been brutally murdered by the strange and sinister neighbour (Stanley Tucci) who lures her into an underground entrapment one fateful night while she was passing through the corn field behind her school. She longs for a lot of things. Like, getting back to the warmth of her home, where her parents (Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz) and her siblings desperately try to cope with her loss. Like, avenging her death, specially when her killer plans to target new victims. Like, stealing the kiss she never got from her poet boyfriend. But it isn't easy for souls to connect and it isn't allowed for souls to return. So Susie must learn to let go, but before she does, she touches your heart with her moving predicament. Even as Peter Jackson creates his characteristic vistas of visual splendour on screen, once again.
