Review of Bless the Child (2000) by Don S — 18 May 2012
I've always loved stories of good versus evil, and here I get one about ultimate good (God) vs. ultimate evil (Satan). The acting is watchable but not outstanding. I've always enjoyed Basinger, but Sewell was too understated in his role as evil minion.
Holliston Coleman stood out in her role, and the two scenes where she actively thwarted the devil ("he hasn't forgotten you," and "after you") will stay with me for awhile. The movie runs at a decent pace.
The story may be too simple for some, but for me it was just right. Let the ultimate battle play out in the simplest terms. Very good.
