Review – Blessed

Rosemary’s Baby gets a 21st-century reheat in a production suited primarily for the Lifetime Movie Network. Heather Graham stars as a woman who seeks help from an upstate fertility clinic. Unfortunately for her and her charming husband, the place they pick has a bit of a side-line going: cloning embryos from a blood sample left behind by Lucifer and planting them in unsuspecting women in order to bring about the apocalypse. Through various dull twists and turns they manage to stretch this meager thread out to an hour and a half. The only point of interest here is that the audience ends up in the awkward position of hoping everything works out okay for Graham and her unborn twins despite the fact that we know the babies are evil. Mildly amusing
