Critic Reviews for Bless the Child
All Critics (112) | Top Critics (34) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (109) | DVD (5)
A biblical "thriller" so predictable and preposterous that everyone involved should be banished to the confessional for their sins.
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.
A supernatural thriller that does for its genre what Battlefield Earth did for science fiction.
Director Chuck Russell also made the infinitely better comedy The Mask. After this, he may want to wear a mask.
It reps another disappointing outing from Kim Basinger, who's clearly uninspired by the hack material.
Audience Reviews for Bless the Child
Wow, this is a rarity: a modern-day film in which the Christians (mostly nuns in this story) are the "good guys" and the New Age advocates are the devil-like "bad guys." Kim Basinger makes an outstanding performance in this supernatural film about a woman's battle to save her beloved niece from an unspeakable evil. There is some very good suspense here, especially at the end and some shocking horror scenes of violence. Good vs Evil, and it's done well for me. And I thought Rufus Sewell's performance as Stark is well acted and convincingly evil. I see Christina Ricci appeared a very small part in this movie. Director Chuck Russell makes a good attempt to throw in horror and chills at the right moments and even throws in some great effects such as the Devil's manifestation in to a throne and even a rolling head for fans of a little gore.
Super Reviewer
Strong permofance by Kim Berenger. Great Movie with great casting. I like Rufus Sewell, he can play anything and I never feel like he is acting.
Super Reviewer
I was pleasantly surprised at how engaging this movie was. I normally don't like Kim Basinger of Rufus Sewell, but they were both pretty good in this really rather chilling movie. I really like movies that deal with the human aspect in the occult. Christina Ricci's character really added to it as well. I might have liked a little less simpering from miss Kim, but the child actress mkore than made up for her.
