Godsend (2004)

Rate: 1
Viewed: 4/07

4/07: If I get a blender and pour in the ingredients from The Good Son, Boogeyman, The Sixth Sense, Stir of Echoes, and The Shining, the result will be Godsend.

In fact, the film should be called Satansend. Nobody wastes any effort by making it one of the worst, dumbest movies I've ever seen. When is anyone going to learn? The supernatural genre is dead as in "dead." Move on, and find another genre that hasn't been beaten like a dead horse. Nothing—absolutely nothing—works in Satansend.

Not even Robert De Niro can save this. Why in the name of God is he in it? He used to be one of the greatest actors in the history of motion pictures, and he decided to be part of this trash? Is it about the money? Has Robert De Niro sold his soul to the devil?

All in all, why can't Robert De Niro be like Jake LaMotta and beat the crappy child actor to a pulp?
