5.0 out of 5 stars Intellectual horror, May 26, 2008

By

This review is from: Blessed (DVD)

This is horror for intellectuals. People who want non-stop violence and gore are going to dislike this movie. People who like The Ring and Rosemarie's Baby will probably really appreciate this movie.

I thought it was really creepy. The acting was great. The plot was interesting (similar to Rosemarie's Baby though). The ending was freaky.

Overall it was a really good horror flick.
Check it out.

What in the WORLD happened?

Blessed? Yeah right! It sure wasn't a blessing watching some of the most terrible storytelling I've ever seen.

This movie has no atmosphere whatsoever. No drama, no suspense, no horror, no *anything*. It's very bland and ordinary.

It's exactly this kind of rubbish that makes me wonder what goes through the minds of Hollywood writers sometimes. Did they really expect a masterpiece when they made this film? I sure hope not. I hope this movie was just some quick cash-in as part of some contractual agreement or something. The thought that some time and effort was actually put into this would be... hard to believe.

I've seen terrible films before, but this one takes the cake.

The first 1 hour and 10 minutes of film is pure trash. That leaves 15 minutes for an ending that's actually alright because at least something good is shown near the end of the movie that *almost* makes the movie feel different from all those cheesy Lifetime Movie Network films and comparisons.

I was so bored while watching this film, and Heather Graham's character does absolutely nothing for me either. This movie was doomed right from the beginning thanks to whoever came up with such a "genius" concept. A pregnant woman walks around with twin evil babies in her belly.

*The entire film* deals with the mother worried about her twin babies. She constantly goes to the doctor for check-ups, but the thing is... what were WE supposed to get out of these constant visits? So what? She's having twins. I certainly didn't sense any evil presence lurking. So BAD.

The storyline would have been significantly better had it focused on the babies actually being born and THEN doing evil things to other people. Then the movie would have actually built some kind of suspense. Maybe the movie writers thought such a storyline has already been done plenty of times before, but surely it would have been better than what we ended up with.

And her husband? And the guy at the restaurant who tried warning her about the babies being born? Any suspense here? Nope, none whatsoever.

I recommend (rather strongly in fact) AVOIDING this movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rosemary's Clone, January 17, 2005

By 

Ghoulie Guru - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blessed (DVD)

With horror remakes being all the rage right now, I don't understand why these filmmakers didn't just remake Rosemary's Baby with Heather Graham instead of Mia Farrow. That's all that this movie really is... Rosemary's Baby with a dash of sci-fi cloning to make it feel like it's something new. Only "Blessed" is done with none of the subtle style of Roman Polanski or Ira Levin.

Instead, the suspense is supposed to be built with ultrasound images that have the Devil's face hidden in them like a Rorschach ink blot. Apparently, some rich guy has managed to procure a vial that contains a few drops of Lucifer's blood. Being a moron, he thinks it'd be a good idea to clone Lucifer using a local clinic that he owns. Poor Heather Graham has no idea what she's in for. When will girls learn that if you go to a fertility clinic, some old man will impregnate you with a Devil clone?

Sounds absurd, right? Well, it is.
