Blessed - Il seme del male

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.

This film is basically a dud. My friends tease me because I think Heather Graham is a fine actress, but she is. Mr. Foyer does a good job, although I could have done without his gorilla feet hanging out of the tub in the beginning of the moviea

The real thrill is seeing Stella Stevens. If you don't know her from the original Poseiden's Aventure, then you might know her from The Courtship of Eddies Father. She's the only reason I sat through it.

Worth less than one watch. All reviews about it being a knockoff to a 1960s hit starring Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes based on a book by Ira Levin are totally on point.

What should have been a good story ends up poorly executed by the director. That was my feeling after watching what could have been a real scary thriller. I continued to watch because I wanted to see just how uninteresting most of the actors performances were and playing the 'spot the best actor' game. Well into the movie I thought I was watching 24 except that this one was going to take nine months to get to the point. If you have ever watched those good directors comments that accompany DVD's and listened where they discuss deleted scenes and pace and so on, well 'Blessed' is and example of what happens when none of that occurs. Scenes and characters that lead nowhere, leaving you to wonder just where the story is leading. You get a vague idea except that the movie digresses many times before eventually arriving to the final scene where thankfully the really scary stuff takes place. Then the movie ends too soon.

Basically Walmart Rosemary's baby. Not entirely awful but slow and kinda plain, with a lot of cliché and a plot that doesn't entity make sense.

I guess it's ok for a chill evening at home.

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.
