Really Surprised!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This film is either disgusting and depressing or absolutely hilarious. I get the feeling that the director was going for the former, trying to scare women away from fertility clinics. This kind of anti-intellectual, anti-science nonsense is for people terrified of God and the devil. For most people, this is an easy film never to see.Not only that, but the movie is stupid to boot. A fertility clinic in the same building as a cloning facility? Yeah, that's believable. Want to see a pregnant prosthesis so fake looking you'd think Heather Graham made it herself? Well, get yourself some popcorn then. Finally, the mean-spirited non-ending shows contempt for an audience I haven't seen the likes of since Speed 2.

**SPOILERS** Utterly ridicules re-make of "Rosemary's Baby" that should have been apply titled "Samantha's Babies" that's so convoluted that the film seems to completely fall apart in the last twenty or so minutes. It's not until I realized by reading the trivia part of the film on the IMDb that it's star David Hammings, playing the part of big shot book publisher and all around international power broker Earl Sidny, died during production that it dawned on me that the movie makers realized that had a king size turkey on their hands. They must have did everything possible to terminate it even at the cost of an understandable no matter how clumsy conclusion. Hemmings is so bloated and his voice, which I suspect was dubbed in, so low and raspy that he's both unrecognizable and hard to understand in the few scenes, before he suddenly passed away, that he's in.Having trouble conceiving the Howard's Samantha & Carig, Heather Graham & James Purefoy,go to this clinic in the little town of Westview that's been recommended to them where it's said that miracles are preformed. The clinic is noted for giving women, who are totally barren like Samantha, the ability to give birth to healthy and beautiful babies. Being artificially inseminated with her husbands sperm Samantha quickly get's pregnant and to both her and her husbands Craigs happy surprise she finds out from her doctor at the clinic Dr. Leeds,Debora Weston,that she's expecting twins.Craig a struggling writer who earlier in the film was introduced to book publisher Earl Sidney at a party in New York City is suddenly in demand to get his book published with Earl Sidney offering him $100,000.00 as a first down payment. It becomes obvious to anyone who saw read or knows about the film or book "Rosemary's Baby" that Craig had made some kind of demonic deal with Earl. We later learn that Earl is connected to this church called "The New Light of Dawn" that in effect is a secret Sanatic Order. The church is also being involved with the reproduction clinic that Samantha is being treated at. You know where the movie is going when it then takes a sudden U-turn and we're introduced to this really creepy looking guy that for some strange reason Samantha, who at the time didn't know that he's a priest, takes a strong liking to a Father Carlo, Andy Senkis. Carlo shocks Samantha in telling her that she's carrying the spawn of Satan and that only he with some liquid concoction, that looks like a fizzed out glass of Mountain Dew, can save her. Samantha who seems like she's going through with Carlo's unusual plan suddenly, at his pad or apartment, takes the liquid that she's supposed to drink and splashes it in his face! where it reacts like it was acid burning a bloody scare onto it!Samantha trying to get away from the crazed Carlo is then chased by him, in a car, all through the reproduction clinic with Carlo mindlessly busting through one operation room to another until he crashes in Dr. Leeds' office! In what seemed to be a prediction of things to come. As the gasoline in the car is spilling all over him Carlo tells the befuddled doctor that "He who walks with Satan shall burn in Hell" and then sets himself on fire with a lighter.The ending is so confusing, which like I feel is due to David Hemmings sudden death, that it makes what you saw up to it, as bad as that was, almost entertaining. We get to see the two twin girls born to Samantha grown up as preschool toddlers. The twins have this weird and spaced out look on their faces and at the same time doing what they do best in being blood-relatives to the Devil or Satan: Creating hell on earth for anyone that they come in contact with.

Blessed stellar cast of James Purefoy, Finnula Flanagan, David Hemmings, Andy Serkis, and Heather Graham should have made this film a worthy contender for a new take on the Rosemary's Baby, Faust retelling. However, the script got in the way. While settings of upstate New York and Manhattan are lovely, the storyline is simply muddled and confusing. James Purefoy and Heather Graham are an upwardly mobile yuppie couple who want to make a baby, but finances and the failing career of the husband seem to be keeping them down. Viola, a set of circumstances clear the way for the couple to move to a lake front ideal community where a fertility clinic is conveniently up the road and in no time, Heather is preggers with twins. However, a cloud seems to shadow her maternity bliss in the form of a hooded figure who spooks the naive woman, and her husband's waning interest in her blossoming body seem to spell the end of canoodles in the dark. In the mean time, James' writers block is over, he's knocking pages out and making friends with a mysterious and vastly wealthy elder man (David Hemmings), who seems able to make miracles happen.It is only in the last third of the film that the story becomes tangled with a suspicious priest (Andy Serkis) tempting Graham's character to abort the twins as the spawn of science -- a little too extreme religion vs. science debate. And, it seems Mr. Hemmings passed away during the filming, as a double is used for several scenes. In the end, if the twin girls are angles or evil is left ambiguous, although equally questionable is whether one could be evil and the other good. That's not an altogether bad ending, either. It's up to the viewer to draw their own conclusions.Watch for performances by Ms. Flanagan, Mr. Purefoy, and a bit role by Stella Stevens, the mother of the producer, Andrew Stevens, whose own acting career never got father than powdered wigs in the 70s.

This movie was horrible. Instead of filing it under suspense, it should be filed under boring. there was no plot, hardly any dialogue and NO suspense. Right when it started to get interesting, it ended. I'm not even sure what really happened. No one talked enough for me to know. The scenes ended to quickly and explained nothing. All I know is that someone was the devil, Heather Graham got impregnated with his clone, the babies were born, they were blonde and creepy and they caused a kid to die. Most of the movie is watching Heather Graham being pregnant. Don't watch this movie. This movie sucks. Heather Graham is stupid. But that English guy is pretty hot. P.S. The guy with the eyebrows is creepy.
