What is godsend about?

Answer 1

Moderate horror, and strong language. Godsend is a story of an eight year old lad, called Adam Duncan, a kind, thoughtful and well behaved child, he is all his parents ever wanted, until one day he is tragically killed by a car. With both parents proper upset, the mysterious doctor Richard Wells (Robert De Niro) offers them another chance of happiness. He can create a clone of Adam that will be identical (obviously) to the child they lost. Nine months later they have their child back identical in every way...it was like Adam had never left them, he has his mothers eyes, his fathers smile, but when he crosses the age at which he died, terrifying things begin to happen...

Answer 2

Godsend is an unusual movie that is a blend of Science Fiction and occult drama and is very plausible. First of all , it is not about Religion. The lead character is a high-school Biology teacher. His wife is a commercial photographer. the story is based on a novel by occult master Ira Levin . Mr.Levin died a few years back so there will be no more tales from his pen. The plot involves a mixture of genetic implants, borderline re-incarnation and thought transfer. The semi-artificial son that is based in part on his deceased brother ( who died in a wholly preventable sportive accident chasing a ball and getting clipped by an auto) is the lead, juvenile character. He has nightmares About a Boy named Zach. Zach, it turns out is a deceased juvenile arsonist, some of HIS genetic matter was in the mix that produced the lead character- if you want to call him the Godsend, well maybe ( Giodsend was actually the trade-name of the genetic family-planning clinic- operated by the doctor played by Robert de Niro. I saw this picture ONCE in a movie house and can still accurately descibe it. It has some unwarrantd violence and one questions the serious actions done by the Father character, which amount to homicide with arson to cover things up! The Doctor"s fate is to be dumped- still living but moribund in a burning abandoned church ( is the father also trashing religion?) a distrubing but generally (patted-down) occult drama, no monsters or anything like that, and it is thought-provoking. I recommend to intelligent mature adults.
