the concept of this movie i thought was brilliant.although the genre was confused and messed up. the beginning went ok until the ending destroyed my enjoyment,by envolving crappy special affects, and a corny conclusion.

This film is laughable in the sense that could be a horror film. If it was a drama film, I would have given it a higher rating.(Sorry sis, but I'm staying strong with my opinions on this one.)

.....

This is a very underrated movie.
Kim's performance was very warm here.
It might not be a scary movie but has a dark intense atmosphere.

I'm recommending it. The 3% tomatoemeter is really pointless

R.A.S.A.P

I love this film. It is stirring and exiting. Why it is so derided is a mystery to me.

Bless the Child

Cape Fear, grade: A

Tagline: Mankind's last hope just turned six.
Plot Synopsis: Omens and concepts of good vs. evil have no place in Maggie O'Connor's well-ordered, practical universe. Her life revolves around her job as a nurse at a busy New York hospital, until one rainy night, her sister Jenna abandons her newborn, autistic daughter at her home. Maggie takes the baby in, and she becomes the daughter she never had. Six years later Jenna suddenly re-appears with a mysterious new husband, Eric, and abducts Cody. Despite the fact that Maggie has no legal rights to Cody, FBI agent John Travis (Jimmy Smits), an expert in ritual homicide and occult-related crime, takes up her cause when he realizes that Cody shares the same birth date as several other recently missing children. The little girl, it soon becomes clear, is more than simply "special." She manifests extraordinary powers that the forces of evil have waited centuries to control, and her abduction sparks a clash between the soldiers of good and evil that can only be resolved, in the end, by the strength of one small child and the love she inspires in those she touches.

(*):

This has got to be one of the worst film ever made. It is a horribly acted, written and just plain cruel in several parts. I can't believe that this many decent actors actually agreed to do this (but if I had to give one positive comment it would be that Sewell looks the part of an evil, no blinking Satanist but the acting is so overblown and cheesy that it doesn't matter).
