Bless the Child

Starring: Kim Basinger, Jimmy Smits, Rufus Sewell, and Christina Ricci

Directed by: Chuck Russell

Synopsis:  Children born on a certain day are kidnapped and slaughtered by a group of Satanists. They eventually find the one they are looking for: a girl with special healing gifts who is destined to lead many people to God. The Satanists hope to convert her, but if they can't, they plan to destroy her.

My Thoughts: It's about time someone got it right. Finally a religious-based horror film that's really scary, while being very Biblically accurate. Also, the director puts the most emphasis on God being good and powerful rather that on Satan's evil power. Very scary, emotionally-moving, and well-crafted.

Score: 9 out of 10
