BACK ON DVD! From the director of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS comes this riveting supernatural thriller filled with spine-tingling chills and white-knuckle suspense. Academy Award -winner Kim Basinger stars as Maggie O'Connor, a single woman whose life revolves around her career as a nurse-until the surprise appearance of her sister Jenna (Angela Bettis) and Jenna's newborn baby girl, Cody. When Jenna suddenly disappears, Maggie is left to raise Cody (Holliston Coleman), an autistic child, by herself. But after Jenna returns with a mysterious cult leader (Rufus Sewell) and abducts Cody, Maggie discovers that the child possesses extraordinary powers that forces of evil have waited centuries to control. Together with an FBI specialist in occult-related crimes (Jimmy Smits), Maggie races to save the life of the innocent girl who may hold the key to save mankind -- or destroy it. Costarring Christina Ricci and Ian Holm, Bless the Child is a thrilling offering for film fans.
Rated R for violence, drug content and brief language.
