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.
