Presagi

A woman's baby is kidnapped by a cult and the film details her struggle to get her baby back. Not nowhere near as bad as you would expect for a TV movie made for the USA channel. It has decent enough casting / performances and the direction is competent enough to rival any other theaterical horror / suspense movie on the market. It just suffers from one little problem, it is dull. Really dull at that.

Rated R; Violence.

Even though most critics have panned this one I thought it was great. Nancy Mckeon formerly of the Facts Of Life has always been bashed for her acting, but this movie proves she can hold her own with the best of them. This movie boasts excellent scenery, a believable plot, and terrific acting all around. This is a film not to be missed.

The story evolves around a nomadic Latin American cult who believes Martha's baby can cure a curse, and Martha's search for her baby. Through a twist of events, fictional history, and somwhat tepid acting by most of the characters, one is left feeling a big incredulous. The concept of the movie is fascinating, but somehow one wishes the plot could be a bit more developed and the acting a little better. Nancy McKeon, however, shines through with her acting. It's a good video to rent if you like the paranormal.
