The Devil's Child

I just see this movie and I think it is not bad at all... It has a strong christian message that I have never seen in other horror movies. It has a clear message, the "devil" is always around us but with the prayer you can fight the evil. The victory of the good (over the evil), comes from God. There was one moment, almost in the end of the movie in which I was expecting that the mother of the child would have kill the son, but in the end, she went to batist the child, symbol that she belive in the love of God (the batism wins the sin). The devil in conclusion is always there, and the only way to fight is by beliving in God. Doesn´t sound like horror movie... nice!

Another example of Kim Delaney making a poor script believable. More Catholic bashing and supernatural happenings. Unfortunately, the producers decided to kill off Larry Holden early...an interesting character actor who could have added life to this otherwise dull film. At least Kim has a recurring television role to sustain her. Sigh.

This "movie" is a pretty pathetic waste of time. Outside of a chilling (but predictable) performance by Thomas Gibson as The Devil, this movie really stinks. All the major horror clichés are stolen from ROSEMARY'S BABY and THE OMEN- there is NOTHING the viewer won't see coming as any sort of shock or surprise. Good performers like Matthew Lillard and Kim Delaney don't add anything. For a supernatural tale, there's really nothing in the way of special effects. The script is terrible, and the direction barely adequate. It blows me away that anyone connected with this film would waste time and money to create this piece of trash, even for something concocted for TV.

A woman's mother makes a deal with the devil to save the daughter from dying. 20 years later the devil returns to claim retribution. Sounds compelling but in reality, this is a dull, listless show with little originality. Kim Delaney adds some semblance of good acting but what grates me is that the plot is a pure rip-off from previous movies. Thomas Gibson is too straight faced and nice looking to be evil. The Devil's Child lacks any new ideas and whichever way the story moves, you know you've seen it before. The finale is as close to any mediocre B-grade horror movie you can find.

A decent rip-off of the classic 'Rosemary's Baby', not a bad film but pretty much dwindles in the memory.
