Back To Index Bless the Child
 Barnes & Noble A taut supernatural thriller that unfolds in contemporary urban settings, Bless the Child pits Academy Award winner Kim Basinger against dark forces plotting world domination. Basinger plays a devoted nurse whose drug-addled younger sister gives birth to an autistic baby girl and then abandons her, leaving Basinger to raise the child. At the age of six, her adopted daughter (adorable Holliston Coleman) manifests unnatural abilities that convince cult leader Rufus Sewell that she is his sects long awaited "chosen one." Director Chuck Russell (Nightmare on Elm Street 3) ratchets up the suspense by having Sewell kidnap the young girl for participation in an unholy ritual. Basingers pursuit of the child generates many tense moments, culminating in a climactic confrontation that unleashes demonic powers. Russells skillful steering of inherently melodramatic situations keeps Bless the Child from drifting off course. Jimmy Smits contributes a fine performance as an FBI agent steeped in occult lore, Ian Holm is predictably effective as a renegade clergyman, and Christina Ricci is superb as a frightened cultist who risks her life to help Basinger. The DVD features audio commentaries by Russell and effects supervisor Joel Hynek, plus interviews with the cast and crew members, and theatrical trailers.
