Lots of women get the feeling that their boyfriends become different people after they've married them, but one finds herself dealing with a much bigger problem than leaving socks around the house or not taking out the trash in this supernatural thriller. Kristie (Laura Harris) is a sweet but slightly naïve young woman who is soon to marry the man she loves, Marc St. Clair (Richard Lintern), a television reporter. On the night of their wedding, Marc leads Kristie away from the wedding reception and takes her virginity near a strange stone monument in the woods. Kristie is a bit surprised by this behavior and even more startled when she discovers she's pregnant. Nine months after her wedding day, Kristie's son, Dylan, is born and the new mother is thrilled, but as the child grows older, she begins to sense that things aren't right. Marc seems to take an obsessive interest in his son, while even more surprisingly, his boss, Elizabeth (Alice Krige), is nearly as interested as Marc. In time, when Dylan begins to display telekinetic powers and Kristie discovers Elizabeth has given him a book of Satanic prophesy, Kristie begins to wonder what sort of a person Marc really is -- and whose child did she really bear? ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Ill conceived constant plot twists do not a horror movie make. I can't say the ending was a let down, as the movie as a whole was not good. It failed to explain itself and just posed more questions that are unanswerable but to the writers- possibly not even they know what is going on and they just lazily ended it being without a clever resolution.

    The plot of this movie involves an innocent young woman impregnated by the devil, apparently with the support of her new husband and his creepy family. Sound familiar? One reviewer compared this movie to "The Omen". Actually, it's more of a "Rosemary's Baby" wannabe. While it lacks the class of "Rosemary's Baby", it is still a good crawl-in-bed on a cold night movie. It had some sufficiently creepy scenes and a few twists to keep it interesting.

    Yes   |   No
