The Lovely Bones
On DVD: DVD | Blu-ray Disc
On December 6, Ray Singh (Reece Ritchie), a boy Susie has had a crush on, approaches her at her locker and slips a note into her textbook. He asks her out for the following Saturday and attempts to kiss her, but they are interrupted by Ruth Conners (Carolyn Dando) being scolded by a teacher (Thomas McCarthy).
As Susie is walking home from school, she runs into her neighbor, George Harvey (Tucci), who coaxes her into seeing an underground den he says he has built for the neighborhood children. Susie eventually becomes uncomfortable in Harvey's presence and tries to leave; when he restrains her, she kicks him in the face and runs out of the den back into the field, passing Ruth along the way.
Meanwhile, the Salmon family begins to worry that Susie hasn't returned home yet, and her father, Jack (Wahlberg), leaves into town to go look for her. Susie makes it into town and sees her father, but he does not notice her. Susie instead runs home, but discovers the house empty. She enters the upstairs bathroom to find Harvey soaking in a bathtub. After discovering her charm bracelet hanging on the sink faucet, near a bloody shaving razor, Susie realizes that she never escaped the den and was instead murdered by Harvey. As she screams in horror, she is pulled away into a surreal world that is neither heaven nor earth, but "the in-between", where she continues to watch over her loved ones. She can not seem to let her life and family go despite her new afterlife friend, Holly (Nikki SooHoo), urging her to move on.
Police are called in to investigate Susie's disappearance the following morning. Detective Len Fenerman (Michael Imperioli) finds Susie's hat with traces of her blood on it and confirms that Susie has most likely been killed. In response, Jack develops all of Susie's pictures, and soon begins to obsessively research various neighbors, including Harvey, through their tax records. Fenerman interviews Harvey, but cannot find any evidence to pin him as a suspect. Lindsey comes to agree with her father on his suspicions, but their casework stresses Susie's mother, Abigail (Weisz), to the point where her alcoholic mother, Lynn (Susan Sarandon), moves into their home to look after the family. Stricken with grief and alienated from her husband, Abigail eventually leaves the family for California. In her afterlife, Susie decides to inspect a lighthouse that has been beckoning her to enter. Once there, she learns that Harvey has murdered several other young girls, including Holly, and that he is keeping Susie's body in a safe in his basement.
One night, Jack follows Harvey with a baseball bat into the cornfield seeking revenge upon him. However, Jack accidentally stumbles across Clarissa (Amanda Michalka), a friend of Susie's, with her boyfriend Brian (Jake Abel), who beats Jack unconscious. Jack is then hospitalized, which prompts Lindsey to continue his investigation. During a track run for school, Lindsey breaks into Harvey's house looking for evidence. She discovers a notebook hidden underneath his bedroom floorboard containing a sketch of the clubhouse and a piece of Susie's hair. Harvey returns home and catches Lindsey in his house, but she escapes and runs back home to discover that Abigail has returned. In fear of being caught, Harvey flees Norristown, taking with him the safe containing Susie's body.
Susie's realm of afterlife begins to expand into a larger heaven and she is greeted by Harvey's other victims. Holly asks Susie to enter it with them, but Susie declines, saying she has one more thing left to do. Meanwhile, Ruth and Ray are present at the sinkhole when Harvey drives up to dispose of the safe. Susie returns to Earth and enters Ruth's body, causing her to collapse. Ray rushes to Ruth's aid only to discover she has become Susie. They share a kiss, completing Susie's last wish, and she returns to heaven.
