Over the nights that follow, Elizabeth returns and possesses Jack and Jill, using each of their bodies to speak to the other. Jill faces Elizabeth's death, while Jack confronts his abandonment. As they learn she is trapped in limbo, Jack begins to doubt Elizabeth's reason for returning.

BACK TO THE HEART OF A MASTERPIECE.
It's 50 years since 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' first appeared in cinemas, and it may be the finest film this country has produced, based on the finest novel this country has produced. It's a bottomless well, deep and dark, so rich in ideas and provocations while utterly refusing to ever explain itself. Each time we watch it, we are lowered down into it, so deep that all light ceases to exist and we are left in the dark, cold and shivering and alone, convinced that the dark around us is full of unseen eyes, unseen hands, the haunted whispers and laughs of young female voices, threatening to gently take us and pull us into the abyss where they have wandered, missing, for over a hundred years. To venture back to what sits at the very heart of 'Picnic at Hanging Rock', click here now to join Daniel as he revisits the Australian classic in his retrospective review./megapic/bring-it-on.jpg)
THESE ARE SPIRIT FINGERS.
Roger Ebert himself called 'Bring It On' "the Citizen Kane of cheerleader movies". While the sequels might not have offered quite the same level of satisfaction as the original, we're using the film's 25th anniversary to look at some other ways that you can get your cheer fix. So give us a "B" and click here as Jess celebrates 25 years since 'Bring It On' first bounced onto the big screen./megapic/bluesky-2.jpg)
