Media Type: DVDWhen Maggie (Kim Basinger of L.A. Confidential and Batman) comes home to her apartment building one night, she discovers her estranged, drug-addict sister Jenna huddling in the doorway. Jenna promptly abandons her newborn baby with Maggie, who proceeds to raise the child as her own, despite evidence of autism. But as the little girl, Cody, gets older, what seemed to be autism starts to manifest itself in more startling ways. At the same time, a series of child murders are swe! eping the city--murders conducted by a mysterious cult with supernatural matters on their mind. Bless the Child starts promisingly, with subdued, creepy scenes contrasted with more outrageous moments like swarms of computer-generated rats. Fans of religious horror movies will enjoy its twist on The Omen, with an angelic child instead of a demonic one--only the child is still pretty eerie. The special effects go a little overboard towards the end. Jimmy Smits (Price of Glory) costars as an FBI cult chaser, and Rufus Sewell (Dark City, Cold Comfort Farm) gives a pleasantly restrained performance as the charismatic cult leader. Also featuring Christina Ricci as a cult escapee and Ian Holm as a Jesuit priest. --Bret FetzerJADE/BLESS THE CHILD - DVD MovieThe last thing recently-widowed Maggie O'Connor wants is the responsibility of a baby. But when her heroin-addict daughter, Jenna, abandons newborn Cody, Maggie discovers her own mater! nal instincts and love for the child prevail. Then, three and ! a half y ears later, an impeccably groomed Jenna, complete with her new, wealthy husband, Eric Vannier, returns to claim her daughter. On her first visit to Cody's new home, Maggie is horrified to find the child vacant-eyed, subdued and fearful. The police can do nothing - until an anonymous caller reveals the Vanniers' link with a sinister Satanic cult. And as an ancient prophecy turns into reality, it is all too clear that much more than Cody's sanity and safety are at stake...What if your drug-addicted daughter left a newborn baby on your doorstep and disappeared? What if she came back three years later and took the child into a satanic cult? Would you risk your soul to save her?
Maggie O’Connor is about to answer these questions… maybe with her life. She’s too young to be a grandmother. Yet she’ll fight -- not just for little Cody’s custody, but for the child’s life itself.
The law won’t back her up. But the exorcist priest believes. And the ra! bbi who practices Kabbalah knows too much not to believe. And ancient, raging memories of an Egyptian prophecy are rising within her own terrifying dreams.
But time is running out. For everyone wants this child. Even the Devil…
