Review of Godsend

Godsend (2004)
5/10
Mediocre horror film about the science's risks
1 July 2005
The picture concerns a young couple (Greg Kinnear and Rebecca Romijin Stamos) who after the death their son (Cameron Bright) by accident are convinced by a doctor (Robert de Niro) to be cloned and then, years later his rebirth , strange events happen . The storyline has a twisted plot and at the final there are extraordinary surprises. From the film presentation to the end the tension and intrigue are continued .

The motion picture blends terror , suspense , strong emotions , shocks and is slightly slow-moving and that's why it is a little boring. Besides, being mostly developed at interior scenarios , without barely outdoors . In the picture there's a spooky and creepy atmosphere with a lot of screams , shocks and a scary musical background . The yarn takes ideas from ¨Sixth sense¨ and ¨Hide and seek¨(also with Robert de Niro and in similar interpretation) . The acting by main actors is good , but there are scarcely secondary actors . Cinematography by Kramer Morgenthau and musical score by Brian Tyler create a ghostly and frightening atmosphere . The pic was regularly directed by Nick Hamm. The film will appeal to horror enthusiasts and Robert de Niro fans . Rating: average but passable.
