Adrian and Claire have succumbed to the fact that in order to have a child, their only choice is to adopt. When 8-year-old Isabel arrives, unusual events begin to occur which Isabel blames her imaginary friend Stevie.
I could go on, but the point would be mute. Stevie is a made-for-TV movie from Spain sent to our country to bore us all. Stevie delivers every cliché in the ghost story handbook, from writing on steamed mirrors to rearranging the magnets on the refrigerator and absolutely no frights of any kind. It would fit perfectly on the Lifetime Movie Network in between their fine hit movies such as Two Houses without a Uterus and Penis, Tool of Satan.
It stars veteran actress Catherine McCormak as distressed Claire; I’m sure you’ve seen her in something, and Jordi Molla as the optimistic mama’s boy Adrian. You’ll remember Jordi as a drug kingpin from some flick because that’s the only other role he can ever seem to earn. Ida Jorgensen plays the wayward Isabel and a robot programmed to be a drunken transvestite could have probably displayed more emotion. Director Bryan Goerse applies a paint-by-numbers method following the pain-by-numbers script from writer David Markus. Thankfully, there’s only one person to blame for this boring, uninspired material. Usually, in America there are three or four screenwriters that make an abominable wretch of a script for one movie.
