‘YOU BELONG TO ME’ (2008): A SUPERNATURAL MYSTERY WITH A STALKER
One of the Incendo productions that I hadn’t seen, You Belong to Me is one of those kind of weird mysteries. It works hard to have supernatural elements while also being a realistic (meaning it’s not fantasy) film.

‘YOU BELONG TO ME’ (2008): A SUPERNATURAL MYSTERY WITH A STALKER #MYSTERY #SHANNONELIZABETH #AMAZONPRIME Share on XThe concept of You Belong to Me is good. However, the addition of the supernatural element makes things a little bit weird. Even though pegging the culprit becomes easy, there’s still always that question of maybe-this-person-is-bad, or maybe-it’s-that-one. This makes it a bit too wishy-washy so that we cannot really like the characters. Or at least it doesn’t me.
Beyond this, if you like a mystery with a touch of spooky, you may like this one. This also applies if you enjoy the prior Incendo productions. The cast isn’t the best, but there’s a good enough story that builds to a good enough climax to keep the forward motion working. All of which are things that make this a decent 90-minute mystery.

Content: there’s two sex scenes (one about 10 minutes in). Both have some shots of nudity (back), caressing, movement and some suggestive foreplay. There’s tense moments and supernatural elements (spells, a ghost, etc.). Tense moments involve an accident (and threats; and there’s also a “showdown” of sorts with the bad guy. You Belong to Me is PG-13.
