Blessed

This movie is not a real thriller. The entire movie the camera shows us mundane scenes to creepy music in a way so that we know that something weird's going on. But it is not really scary. And in the end, there is no follow-through. Many different suspicious scenes are showed to us, and often we never find out what they mean. There's very little action, nor explanations, throughout the movie so I had hope for the ending after it had been so built-up. I was let-down. Very little happened in the ending either, and some things did not even make sense. See this movie if you have a crush on Heather Graham -otherwise, it's too dull to bother with. Also, be warned that "evangelists" in this movie are explained to be "evil's agents". Characters get a funny look on their face when twins are mentioned as well. Just a heads up that people might be offended.

the good intentions are basic virtue of this strange film. strange not for idea but for its use. and for the not inspired manner to be more than poor exercise to remember a classic. the cast is OK and this is far to be a virtue. because the presence of Heather Graham and James Purefoy as a sweet couple, Fionnula Flanagan in skin of an interesting character and, the sad piece - Andy Serkis as pearl before swine in a movie who is only mixture between different ingredients, with large slices of Rosemary Baby and a lot of clichés. it is difficult to comment a film who is only exercise for a director ambition. or, only, a not inspired homage to Polansky and horror universe.

Simon Fellows could not have made a worse movie. This movie is at the bottom of the pool - however not as bad as "Fear X" or "Pumpkin", however this movie is a disturbing wanna be of Rosmarys Baby. So many un-finished scenes, so many retarded 'F-ed' up scenes, and so many scenes that just make you want to tear out your eyeballs just so you can have something to throw at the television. This movie frankly disturbed me, the ending not being quite there but still being enough to make you want to jump out of your skin. I first had my rating a 3 but now I change it too a 2, this movie sucks. I wouldn't think Simon Fellows would make such an awefull disappointment, but alas........it is that bad.

I tried really hard to give this movie the benefit of the doubt telling myself that any moment now it was going to get better but it just never did. I feel like someone sat down & made a list of a lot of things they wanted to put in a movie. (pretty girl, flash house, cute kids, ancient artifacts etc..) Did them all poorly on the cheep & threw them together with no thought about plot, point or purpose. Both the acting & script left me with no connection to the characters what so ever leaving me feeling like i couldn't care less what happened to them. The end result, a poorly made, budget feeling film lacking any substance at all.

The plot: A couple visit a fertility clinic, not knowing that they also do research into human cloning... and devil worship. And book publishing.

This is an outright, brazen ripoff of Rosemary's Baby, though it's also somewhat influenced by other supernatural thrillers, such as The Omen. If you've seen Rosemary's Baby, you really don't need to see this. It's got a pretty decent cast, but that's about the best I can say for it.

There were some half-decent ideas here, and I think that they could have worked in the hands of a better director. I'm not saying that they were good ideas, but a skilled exploitation director could have turned this into an enjoyable, derivative waste of time. Instead, we get a somewhat inept attempt to plagiarize one of my favorite horror movies.

Despite all its faults, it's still watchable. I can't recommend it, though.
