Featured review
Classic modern original horror movie!
Director Chris Moore presents Blessed are the Children.
There has been a trend in the last few months of horror movies paying homage to the 80's. Blessed are the Children goes one step further and actually looks like the great SOV (shot on video) movies of the 80's.
This movie is obviously low budget but every penny was spent wisely. A very well written script really delivers well with a talent cast.
Traci Patterson (Kaley Ball) is the lead in this Slasher flick the deal with abortion. She is a a young lady in her early 20's and has her plate full with drama. Here we go, her dad just died, she broke up with an abusive boyfriend (Jordan Boyd) pretty much at the alter, the man she really loves who is going to be a doctor really doesn't want to commit. Now the topper she discovers she is pregnant. Not ready to deal with the unwanted pregnancy she opts for an abortion. She is first confronted by the baby masked adults when she leaves the clinic but not seriously concerned! Her 2 friends ( Arian Thigpen and Keni Bounds) are there to comfort her. After a chain events of things that go bump in the night, voices, baby masked adults lurking and creepy toy dolls popping up. Then things start getting bloody and don't stop! Are these things really happening or is this the guilt of early termination of her baby? Wow this movie could of been a controversial movie. It touches on a sensitive topic and the movie is about the dealings of abortion. But the movie is not preachy and does not take sides. It is the core of the movie but the Director/writer wrote a great script. What really got my attention is this is not a let's guess who is in the mask and kill everyone in site. This movie is not color by numbers and predictable at all. Just when you think you know what is going on it takes a complete turn around. I love how nothing is predictable and the movie builds up to the much wanted Slasher part of the movie. There is good ole fashion blood, prosthetics, shower scenes...all there. Buckets of blood so gore hounds will be happy! The lead characters two friends (Arien Thigpen and Keni Bounds)steal the movie. I could of just listen to the both of them the whole movie. They had great dialogue and witty humor. They had silly goofy moments but they were fun and made you laugh, was not insulting or made them stupid non caring cardboard run of the mill characters. All the characters roles were well written then performed by great actors. This is a cast you will be seeing more of. Chris Moore you impressed me with your film techniques and look forward to see what's next. Highly recommend a fun good ole Fashion Slasher movie! The end will leave you sleepless for days!
Kaley Ball, Keni Bounds, and Arian Thigpen star in a Chris Moore (Perversion, Triggered) film, premiering ON DEMAND AND DVD OCTOBER 23.
