Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

wes-connors Sexy teacher Heather Graham (as Samantha "Sam" Howard) and novelist husband James Purefoy (as Craig Howard) are having trouble making babies. They go to a fertility clinic where she gets pregnant. After their New York apartment is ransacked, the expectant couple moves into the sleepy little neighborhood near the clinic, which doubles as a cloning institute. Eerie music plays as Ms. Graham is stalked by a satanic black-hooded stranger. Just like the husband in Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby" (1968), Mr. Purefoy's career takes off while Graham experiences womb kicks from Hell… There are some nicely photographed locations, but "Blessed" will probably leaving you looking for an abortion (or the original "Rosemary's Baby"). It's dedicated to David Hemmings, who died during production. Looking (appropriately) ghastly, Mr. Hemmings is the devilishly-browed book publisher "Earl Sidney". If you're familiar with Hemmings from "Blow-Up" (1966), prepare for a shock. Also creeping about, and unintentionally muddling the plot, is priestly dramatic Andy Serkis (as Carlo). Handsome 1970s hunk Andrew Stevens produced; his sexy 1960s mother Stella Stevens plays "Betty" the Realtor.*** Blessed (5/16/04) Simon Fellows ~ Heather Graham, James Purefoy, Andy Serkis, David Hemmings

AZINDN Blessed stellar cast of James Purefoy, Finnula Flanagan, David Hemmings, Andy Serkis, and Heather Graham should have made this film a worthy contender for a new take on the Rosemary's Baby, Faust retelling. However, the script got in the way. While settings of upstate New York and Manhattan are lovely, the storyline is simply muddled and confusing. James Purefoy and Heather Graham are an upwardly mobile yuppie couple who want to make a baby, but finances and the failing career of the husband seem to be keeping them down. Viola, a set of circumstances clear the way for the couple to move to a lake front ideal community where a fertility clinic is conveniently up the road and in no time, Heather is preggers with twins. However, a cloud seems to shadow her maternity bliss in the form of a hooded figure who spooks the naive woman, and her husband's waning interest in her blossoming body seem to spell the end of canoodles in the dark. In the mean time, James' writers block is over, he's knocking pages out and making friends with a mysterious and vastly wealthy elder man (David Hemmings), who seems able to make miracles happen.It is only in the last third of the film that the story becomes tangled with a suspicious priest (Andy Serkis) tempting Graham's character to abort the twins as the spawn of science -- a little too extreme religion vs. science debate. And, it seems Mr. Hemmings passed away during the filming, as a double is used for several scenes. In the end, if the twin girls are angles or evil is left ambiguous, although equally questionable is whether one could be evil and the other good. That's not an altogether bad ending, either. It's up to the viewer to draw their own conclusions.Watch for performances by Ms. Flanagan, Mr. Purefoy, and a bit role by Stella Stevens, the mother of the producer, Andrew Stevens, whose own acting career never got father than powdered wigs in the 70s.

alison-hayes This movie was horrible. Instead of filing it under suspense, it should be filed under boring. there was no plot, hardly any dialogue and NO suspense. Right when it started to get interesting, it ended. I'm not even sure what really happened. No one talked enough for me to know. The scenes ended to quickly and explained nothing. All I know is that someone was the devil, Heather Graham got impregnated with his clone, the babies were born, they were blonde and creepy and they caused a kid to die. Most of the movie is watching Heather Graham being pregnant. Don't watch this movie. This movie sucks. Heather Graham is stupid. But that English guy is pretty hot. P.S. The guy with the eyebrows is creepy.

s-laing I hate to say it folks, but Roman Polanski ought to sue for plagiarism. "Blessed" is a poor cousin to the classic 1968 Polanski film "Rosemary's Baby". If you have seen "Rosemary's Baby" my advise is give this one a miss. If you haven't seen it, then watch it on TV or watch it if someone else pays for the rental of it, but don't expect much. You will be bored out of your gourd if you are expecting anything close to a psychological thriller or horror. Even the special effects pale and fail when compared to the original of 35 years ago. The only new offering to the plot here is the science of en-vitro fertilization and twin Satan spawns rather than the one son of Rosemary. I must say, I found the acting weak too. The characters had none of that quality the captivated the viewer... The Castivets and Woodhouses were far more three dimensional than the bland, unmemorable folks in "Blessed". Finally, I found an overall lack of horror value in "Blessed". I did not once focus my eyes two centimetres below the TV screen (a technique I developed as a child when a movie got "too scary", yet I didn't want to miss the scene) as I did a couple of times with the original.
