The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I was very skeptical going into this movie. I had heard many bad things about it and Kim Basinger so I never gave it a chance. Since it was on TV last night I decided to give it a shot and it surprised me!The plot is very similar. A string out mother leaves her infant daughter with her sister after giving birth to an unwanted child. 6 years later it turns out that the child has mystical powers similar to Christ himself and a satanic cult wants her. Me, personally, I enjoy movies like this. I'm a big fan of the prophecy and end of days and this movie is quite similar. So IMO, if you enjoyed those two and are an all around horror fan, you'll enjoy this.

There's nothing really about this film that hasn't been seen or done before,but certainly has been done better.It's a familiar good vs evil scenario. With the return of the Christmas Star,hanging in the night sky,Kim Bassinger returns home from work to find her drug addicted sister holding a new born baby girl.Sister promptly dumps the child and disappears leaving Bassinger to care for the baby. Skip forward several years and we find the child being brought up quite nicely and attending a Catholic school for special needs kids.The girl apparently has a form of autism but in reality is extremely gifted in ways nobody yet realises.........except for the Devil/Occult worshippers apparently hunting for any child that was born on the date the Christmas Star appeared years before.Getting the picture?.... Yep and so begins the battle to save mankind from the Devil......again... There's nothing particularly bad about this movie.It's just,well....average. There's very little or no tension from the story and the actors just seem to be going through the motions just to get payed at the end.Even Rufus Sewell,normally pretty good at playing bad guys tends to nibble the scenery rather than chew it!! Jimmy Smitts investigating FBI agent doesn't seem overly concerned or have any urgency about the fact that young kids are being kidnapped and turning up dead,and Bassinger just doesn't show her character any conviction to be believable.If anything,what really lets this movie down is the particularly bad special effects (just see the rats and you'll know what I mean).The movie could have probably done without them.I can look past average acting and overly familiar plots,but bad effects stick out a mile and do this movie no favours. That said,this movie is still watchable.There was nothing here that made me want to switch it off,but if you've seen the likes of The Omen,Excorcist,Rosemarys Baby etc,then you've probably seen the best of this genre out there and will want to give this a miss.

Omens and concepts of good vs. evil have no place in Maggie O'Connor's well-ordered, practical universe. Her life revolves around her job as a nurse at a busy New York hospital, until one rainy night, her sister Jenna abandons her newborn, autistic daughter at her home.Only 5.0 out of 10? This is what IMDb has given this film (as of June 2015). Not that this is anything amazing, but it is hardly only a flat five. We have Christina Ricci, Angela Bettis, and director Chuck Russell, which should be worth something.We have a priest-turned-cop (sort of like "The Prophecy") which creates this interesting mixture of police procedural and satanic mystery. If done right, this is a great theme. (It is done fairly well here.) And with Rufus Sewell, who is always so evil in his roles? Excellent.

I just wanted to say that even if this movie was not the best of the year, even though this movie's story is not the best, I think I really enjoyed how much action is has in it.We know the story about those kids getting kidnapped and that girl who wants to protect this special kid to whom she has no legal rights. An FBI agents decides to help her when he sees that lots of kids who has the same birthday date as this kids are gone missing.Evil minions are about to kidnap those kids because they would have some special powers.This movie is full of cliché, but still lots of scary images and lots of actions. I do not think you can rest for a few minuts before there is something else very interesting happening.This movie would have been the best movie of the year if it was directed better, written better (less cliché) and if some actors/actresses had perform better.
