Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    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.

  • , Time Out

    An embarrassingly nonsensical misfire.

  • David Edelstein, Slate

    A pea-brained hodgepodge of The Omen (1976), The Sixth Sense (1999), and about 30 Grade-Z Bela Lugosi mad-scientist movies.

  • Rex Reed, New York Observer

    Sometimes interesting but always predictable.

  • Mark Holcomb, Village Voice

    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.

    Further proof, if any were needed, that Robert De Niro will make any old tripe if the fee is right. This is an unbelievably awful, instantly forgettable paranormal chiller. The parents of a genetically cloned child spend the entire film trying to prove there's a malevolent kink… More

    A very original story about a controversial subject. Good performances all around with an almost eerie feel to the film. VERDICT: Definitely worth a watch, it's unlike any storyline I've ever seen

  • Candy R


    Great cast. Thriller about a couple who lose their son in a car accident but are able to clone him and bring him back to life.
