A bad thriller that is too intense for tweens.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 24, 2010

As in most bad thrillers, the number of pointless shocks increases in direct proportion to the drama's decreasing vitality, like defibrilator paddles jolting a dying man.

| Jan 5, 2007

[Relies] on cheap shocks instead of honestly exploring how the parents of a dead child might feel about raising his clone.

Full Review | Jul 22, 2006

An embarrassingly nonsensical misfire.

| Jun 24, 2006

This pudgy, obvious DeNiro is definitely not the one I grew up admiring.

| Original Score: C | May 3, 2005

It's mangled into an Omen-lite disaster area, thanks to a script torn between making a moral point about cloning and cheap shocks.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 3, 2004

An expert at the kind of jumpy scares that will make most audiences spend more time in the air than their seats, Hamm turns everyday locations like bathrooms and bedroom closets into sites of terror.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 3, 2004

A pea-brained hodgepodge of The Omen (1976), The Sixth Sense (1999), and about 30 Grade-Z Bela Lugosi mad-scientist movies.

| Jun 6, 2004

Sometimes interesting but always predictable.

| May 6, 2004

Working from the assumption that nobody remembers grade school science, let alone the last 30 years of horror movies, Nick Hamm's genre mishmash clumsily recasts The Omen as a cautionary tale featuring a human incarnation of Dolly the sheep.

| May 4, 2004

Awful movie.

Full Review | May 3, 2004

An unresurrectable muddle.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 2, 2004

A silly if sporadically jolting thriller.

| Apr 30, 2004

Not just a bad thriller but also a thing of pain.

Full Review | Apr 30, 2004

After a modestly promising set-up, pic devolves into a stale rehash of cliches and conventions left over from dozens of demon-child thrillers.

Full Review | Apr 30, 2004

The scariest thing about Nick Hamm's sci-fi thriller Godsend isn't the skulduggery about the origins of a devil child but the terrifying prospect that Robert De Niro has been replaced by an inferior clone.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 30, 2004

It's hard to be frightened when you're snickering.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 30, 2004

Godsend goes nowhere and takes the whole cast with it.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 30, 2004

Every scare is telegraphed. Every surprise is recycled from a better thriller. Even the devil would send this one back.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 30, 2004

Soupy, tedious mess.
