A biblical "thriller" so predictable and preposterous that everyone involved should be banished to the confessional for their sins.

I don't know if I'm getting more squeamish, or simply less charitable at being exploitatively manipulated and taken for a moron: possibly both. But I think others will share my disgust at several scenes in Bless The Child.

A pox on the house of all involved.

By turns lurid, risible and offensive.

If you're so inclined, pray that the responsible parties crawl back into whatever hole they emerged from.

Should have sold its soul for a little help in the script department.

Jul 20, 2012The story was really cheesy and yet frightening. It may not be scary for everyone but was certaining frightening for religious folks. People do not like this film because they are not christians I presume. The religious symbols and the thriller type of elements were really scary, the use of shots were beautiful, acting by everyone in the film was fantastic, there's nothing to complain about the film.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Jun 11, 2011Pretty good supernatural thriller. When Kim Basingers junkie sister leaves her with her newborn baby, nice nurse lady Kim takes her in and eventually feels like her own daughter. Little does she know that the little girl has powers within her that can be used for good or the ultimate evil. Shit begins to happen when the sister appears with a new husband who's also the leader of a cult and takes the little girl, trying to make her see her dark and evil powers are the way forward. With its decent cast including Angela Betis, Rufus Sewell, Christina Ricci and Jimmy Smits alongside Basinger, Bless The Child has a more classy feel and is more of a thriller with horror elements instead of the straight ahead horror, almost Exorcist style film it was billed as by certain parties when it first came out. This actually makes the horror elements more effective sometimes. Worth a watch.Adam M Super Reviewer
