Bless the Child
- Rating:
- Director:
- Starring: Kim Basinger
- Details: US / 110 mins (15PG).
Basinger discovers that her niece is the final piece of the jigsaw for evil cult leader Sewell's world domination plans. Despite drawing on the likes of quality horror such as The Exorcist and The Omen for inspiration, Bless the Child is an atrocious farrago of bland clichés. Avoid at all costs.
