Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
fedor8 From the word "go" this film had "Rosemary's Baby" written all over it. Not only is "Blessed" utterly predictable but it's also amazingly dull and drawn-out. The wafer-thin plot could have easily been told in under 30 minutes. There are so many irrelevant scenes, especially the ones showing how much Graham and her hubby love each other, you'll find yourself very restless and very soon. There is no tension at all. We know she's carrying the anti-Christ. I mean, what else could it be? Mickey Mouse? Roseanne? A pair of underwear? The fact that they're twins – and female - is hardly a huge enough leap in originality (that would have been necessary) to at least semi-save this stinker from total doom.And there are cast problems, too. Obviously Hemmings died during the making so his voice was dubbed – and dubbed very badly. The guy playing Graham's husband is bland and a bad actor; check out the scene in which the two have a fight while he tries to write: there is some truly unconvincing acting on his part. However, it's Andy Serkis and his laughable imitation of an Italian priest that gets "top" honours. Serkis must have been thinking he was still playing Gollum because his over-acting is inane.
Argemaluco This film is pathetic,terrible and totally crap.It is very difficult for me to find even the slightest positive element in this film.The ending is so bad and pathetic that it is fun.The ending looks like a scene of Scary Movie.And I think this is not a horror movie.I think it is a drama,because it has not got horror.This is an extremely slow movie.And a question:before she died,J.Lloyd Samuel walked in the street and she was weak and near to pass away.Some pedestrians said:oh,my god she is dying.Why nobody helped her and took her to the hospital?.This film is totally bad and boring and I do not recommend it and I lost 98 minutes of my life with this piece of crap.
Alex-372 Why was this atrocity ever made? This is a terrible rip-off of Rosemary's Baby, which at least had John Casavettes as the husband.Where to start? First, the absence of intelligent dialog. There is an absence of any plot - the movie just goes from vignette to vignette. The whole movie seems to be put together to get Heather Graham naked and into an IF clinic. This is a terrible little misstep for an actress who is not only beautiful, but actually quite intelligent. She has a beautiful body, and Bette Davis eyes, but here she is simply abused because the writer and director were too lazy and incompetent to come up with a story, dialog and a plot. Other than ripping off a 1968 movie, of course.Then, almost all the actors have British accents, even though this is supposed to be set in upstate New York (one of the road signs at the beginning of the movie reads "Albany"). That is the kind of "detail" that someone looking for clues as to how the story is going to develop simply can't overlook.What is worse, there are no discovery, no 'aha' moments, no payoff at all. Oh yeah, this is the before last role of David Hemmings, which is a crime in and of itself.Skip this travesty of a horror movie at all costs.
newsdisk To begin, I liked it. It follows the new idea of the devil being in our DNA like the Colson article: The Devil in the DNA and the books The Devil's DNA and Plato's Dream. The basic idea is that the devil exists and like God, is found in all of us.While some literature traces the devil's DNA from Adam and Eve, The Devil's DNA and Plato's Dream, The Blessed has someone actually place the DNA.Heather Graham is very beautiful and the sex scenes were appropriate. I disagree that the movie is like Rosemary's Baby.I gave it a 6.
