Review of Godsend

Godsend (2004)
3/10
You'll be more scared that you paid $10 to see it...
25 March 2005
A film that felt like a 2nd-tier student film, it had:

-a horribly acted and unnecessary intro

-an ending without purpose or any sort of closure (heck, forget closure, it didn't even have any sort of explanation for its existence!)

-cardstock characters without any hint of characterization or background

  • a Haley 'Clone' Osmont - that kid was trying so hard to be Haley it hurt to watch. One is bad enough, do we really *need* two??


-HORRIBLE pacing - the moments of tension were strewn haphazardly throughout a film that couldn't decide whether it wanted to be horror, suspense, mystery, science-fiction, drama, etc.

-More holes in the plot than Courtney Love has track marks...and a plot that will end around the same time she quits drugs

-More gratuitous breast and pantie shots of Rebecca Romijn-Stamos-No-Longer than of Sigourney Weaver in all four Aliens films combined

I could go on but I've run out of patience. Do yourselves a favour and STAY FAR FAR AWAY from this one... 3/10
