After Paul Duncan (Greg Kinnear) and his wife, Jessie (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos), lose their young son, Adam (Cameron Bright), in an accident, they are approached by Richard Wells (Robert De Niro), a fertility doctor. Wells believes that he can clone Adam and gives Paul and Jessie the option to let him try, but only if they start life over elsewhere. Adam's clone proves to be identical to the deceased boy, but, when he reaches his 8th birthday, things begin to go horribly wrong.

A bad thriller that is too intense for tweens.
June 24, 2006
An embarrassingly nonsensical misfire.
June 06, 2004
A pea-brained hodgepodge of The Omen (1976), The Sixth Sense (1999), and about 30 Grade-Z Bela Lugosi mad-scientist movies.

As in most bad thrillers, the number of pointless shocks increases in direct proportion to the drama's decreasing vitality, like defibrilator paddles jolting a dying man.
May 06, 2004
Sometimes interesting but always predictable.

It ends up like any mass produced genre piece in which the only thing that is well developed is the film negative.
August 07, 2008
Occasionally suspenseful but more often ludicrous.
April 29, 2009
As anticipated the climax is very abrupt and unresolved, but by then I just didn't care, and was so glad to see this junk come to an end.
May 08, 2009
"Godsend" suffers from a feeble plot, laughable dialogue, and thriller cliches that barely effect the characteristic jolts of the genre.
March 10, 2007
It seems a shame to waste any of these actors on a movie with no higher aspirations than educing a few second-rate chills.

[Relies] on cheap shocks instead of honestly exploring how the parents of a dead child might feel about raising his clone.
May 04, 2004
Working from the assumption that nobody remembers grade school science, let alone the last 30 years of horror movies, Nick Hamm's genre mishmash clumsily recasts The Omen as a cautionary tale featuring a human incarnation of Dolly the sheep.
