Only good if you're looking for a good laugh


Overall, its really not a good movie. You have Kim Basinger who was so terrible but she's good in other movies like LA Confidential; The guy from NYPD blue who plays the usual type cast role, the guy with one big eye and one small one trying to talk with an american accent, and the drugged out mom who doesn't seem to care about cody.



This movie is so bad its actually good and funny.

why everything that's supposed to be bad Makes me feel so good

I concur with you.

The lowest-rated movie based on imdb ratings that I've watched is Unspeakable (2002) with a current rating of 2.6. My reasoning was it couldn't be that bad with Dennis Hopper. My reasoning went down the drain. Don't even think about it!

I voluntarily subjected myself to BTC despite its current imdb rating of 4.8 and 1 star from the cable listing because this horror thriller, a genre I like, is available on cable and I have space on my DVR.

Well, the imdb score did not lie and I just found another reason to dislike the director, Charles 'Chuck' Russell. I just checked his credits and he was responsible for Jim Carrey's The Mask (1994), a movie I couldn't stand.

BLESS THE CHILD - Kim Basinger, Jimmy Smits, and Rufus Sewell, Christina Ricci, need I say more? It tried very hard to be a supernatural horror with heavy religious overtones but failed on every single level and turned quickly into an over the top comedy.

Bless The Child. I mean when something's supposed to be a horror and you end up gasping for breath from all the laughter during the movie, it sure is unintentional.

I think this has the potential to be the "Bless The Child" of this decade: an unintended comedy-horror movie.
