Watch May instead.

Host to a demonic entity called Aer, June (Kennedy Brice) is a pre-teen Carrie/female Damien who unleashes her telekinetic powers whenever she gets angry. After being fostered by an abusive white trash family on a trailer park, June is eventually adopted by married childless couple Dave and Lily Anderson (Casper Van Dien and Victoria Pratt), but June's 'invisible friend' Aer prevents her from leading a normal family life, much to the dismay of her new parents.

Extremely derivative (June is bullied and even has her first period in front of her classmates, just like Carrie), and completely devoid of scares, this weak supernatural chiller also suffers from unnecessarily pretentious artsy direction and lapses in logic. The pre-credits scene, in which cultists offer up the infant June to the malevolent spirit Aer, is clumsy and confusing; the idea that uncaring trailer park trash would ever be allowed to foster children is ludicrous; and the revelation that certain adults aren't quite who they seem is predictable.

Youngster Brice isn't at all bad as the titular character, but the film itself is completely forgettable. Let's hope that the sequel/series that the ending is clearly setting itself up for never happens.
