This is a supernatural thriller including mystery , twisted intrigue , grisly killings and fantastic special effects . Being based on the novel of the same name by Cathy Cash Spellman. Everyone drops the balls in this failed rip-off of ¨The Exorcist¨, ¨The Omen¨ , ¨End of Days¨ and ¨The Six Sense¨ taking parts of these films here and there . This movie's idea of thrills is showing kids getting kidnapped and later turning up dead , but it isn't agreeable .The use of child jeopardy as a cheap suspense mechanism is some dubituous , by one's unease is slightly molified by the fact that much of this far too silly to take seriously . The chief excitement lies in seeing what new and amazing appearance or supernatural figures can be dreamt by the believable effects Academy Award winner Kim Basinger's search for a strong female role to follow ¨L. A. Confidential¨ has taken her down in this occult thriller , being clearly inferior than her prior film . She plays a a successful nurse , a single woman whose maternal instincts are unexpectedly stirred when her wayward younger sister Angela Bettis shows up along with a little girl . Basinger doesn't even attempt to hide her boredom as caretaker of a little girl with supernatural powers . She is well accompanied by a good cast with plenty of familiar faces , such as Jimmy Smits as a brave police inspector , Rufus Sewell as satanist and self-help guru Stark, Angela Bettis , Christina Ricci , Michael Gaston , Lumi Cavazos, Eugene Lipinski, Anne Betancourt , Gary Hudson and brief acting by Ian Holm.
This chiller displays a thrilling and suspenseful score by Christopher Young. As well as colorful and dark cinematography by Peter Menzies Jr. The motion picture was middlingly but professionally directed by Chuck Russell. This craftsman Chuck Russell,who made the third and best version of ¨Nightmare on Elm Street¨ and ¨The King Scorpion¨, ¨The Mask¨ I Am Wrath¨, Eraser¨, ¨The Junglee¨ and other successes and flops. Rating : 5.5/10 . Average but passable and acceptable . Not exactly the feel-good movie of the year.
