The Return (2006) 4/10

Starring : Sarah Michelle Gellar, Peter O’Brien, Sam Shepard, JC MacKenzie
Director : Asif Kapadia
Running Time : 82 mins

Joanna Mills (Gellar) starts having strange visions of a woman being murdered. As the visions begin to take over her life, she meets a man named Terry Stahl (O’Brien), who had appeared as a younger man in one of the visions. Further investigation leads her to realise that she is seeing a murder that occurred 15 years ago, but that the murderer may now be targeting her as his next victim.

This movie was terribly slow, and it felt like nothing really happened. Gellar is wasted in this movie and gets no real opportunities to act, and the rest of the cast are pretty feeble to say the least. On top of that, it was difficult to tell what was going on, and the ending came so abruptly I was left with more questions than I went in with.
