neither thrilling nor scary

Paul (Greg Kinnear) and Jessie Duncan (Rebecca Romijn) are married celebrating their son Adam (Cameron Bright)'s 8th birthday. Adam is killed hit by a truck. Jessie's old professor Dr. Richard Wells (Robert De Niro) of The Godsend Institute offers to clone their son. After the new Adam reaches eight, he starts having nightmarish visions of another boy named Zachary.

Even if I buy the premise, this thriller has no tension. The start is so low energy. The movie may as well start later in the story or compress the introduction more. It turns into some sort of ghost story but the investigation isn't that compelling. This is a second-tier horror movie without any thrills or frights. The solid actors are left with nothing good.

Reasonable Horror Movie With Unsatisfactory Conclusion

The teacher Pauld Duncan (Greg Kinnear),the photographer Jessie Duncan (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) and their eight years old son Adam Duncan (Cameron Bright) composes a simple but very happy medium class family. On the day after his eighth birthday, Adam is hit and killed by a car, shaking the stability of the Duncan's family. Some days later, a mysterious doctor Richard Wells (Robert De Niro) approaches to the couple and proposes to make a clone of their deceased son. A new Adam is born, but after his eighth birthday, the boy has horrible nightmares and a weird behavior at school. The reproduction process hides a deep secret, which affects the life of the Duncans. "Godsend" was a great deception for me, since I expected much more from this film. The first three quarters have some flaws, but is scary and hooks the attention of the viewer. However, the conclusion of the story is horrible! I believe that even the director Nick Hamm was not satisfied with the end of the movie, since the American DVD presents four (4) alternative endings, which one of them worse than the original commercial and moralist one. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "O Enviado" ("The Envoy")

HAUSER'S MEMORY

A young couple loses their son Adam in an auto accident. Robert De Niro and his illegal cloning corporation offer to clone the dead child for the couple. After some debate, they agree and have another son who is like the first one. Of course things don't work out as we adopt some unknown existential theme to make a story. Once Adam II reaches the age of when Adam I died, he starts to see visions of his dead self and believes he is doomed. Pretty scary huh? ...if you're eight and your parents inform you that you were cloned...I guess it could be, not that any of you would do that to your 8 year old. Adam II has some vague memories that manifest as dreams. He has become reckless also, as if he has a death wish. AND he exhibits aberrant behavior, such as spitting in the face of his teacher...Tell me you're not scared now!

Rebecca Romijn provides the only eye candy in this film, and that is a quick interrupted love scene toward the beginning. The terror is light, but if you like possessed kid movies, this one might make do.
