	Filmtracks: Godsend (Brian Tyler)
		The application of this rhythm in "To Godsend" is performed with the sound of a beating heart (of sorts --perhaps intentional, perhaps not), and Tyler manages to balance the hope of restoration with the ominous undertones of evil in the multiple elements of this rhythm.
		Overall, the album for Godsend may be a bit long (at 67 minutes), with roughly 20 minutes of remarkable, suspenseful underscore surrounded by stock horror sounds and repetition.
		For a film this bad, Tyler's score may be the only godsend to be found, and only the lack of a better album arrangement restrains it from a fourth star.

	Godsend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Godsend is a 2004 horror/drama movie, and is directed by Nick Hamm.
		As a part of the movie's promotional campaign, Lions Gate Films set up a website for the fictional Godsend Institute in the movie, which claimed to be able to resurrect the dead.
		Lions Gate were forced to change the website informing people that is was only an advertisement, due to the large number of inquiries asking if they really could bring back dead family members.

	Godsend (2004) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
		Godsend is a confused fusion of several superior thrillers (The Bad Seed, The Ring, The Omen, The Sixth Sense etc.) This is all too bad really, for somewhere buried deep inside this halfbaked tale of cloning is an interesting idea.
		In Godsend, Greg Kinnear and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos play Paul and Jessie Duncan, a happily married couple who, along with their eight year old Adam (played by Cameron Bright), seem to have the perfect life.
		Godsend isn't smart enough to be considered good science fiction and it's not scary enough to be considered a good thriller.

	Classic-Horror Review of Godsend (2004)
		Godsend was founded by "one of the true visionaries in fertility," Dr. Richard Wells.
		Godsend refreshingly tackles the complex and often misunderstood topic of stem cell research, and although at times the plot stumbles, its message is clear: genetic engineering can provide society some tangible benefits, but ultimately, when conducted by the wrong people and for the wrong reasons, those benefits are ethically unsound and transitory.
		De Niro gives another steady performance, and as is often the case in his latter films, he blends with younger cast members by not allowing his domineering presence to overwhelm the screen.

	Godsend
		De Niro shows his usual mastery; Greg Kinnear continues to demonstrate why he's just at the edge of superstardom; Rebecca Romijn-Stamos stretches farther than she has in any previous role; and newcomer Cameron Bright is alternately innocent and creepy, certainly keeping up with his adult co-stars.
		It never answers any of the questions it posits, and while it sets itself up for a potential sequel, it ends with so many unresolved threads that a second movie would be forced to re-address the same material.
		Godsend fakes in that direction, but ultimately ends up as another so-so psychological horror flick.

	DVD Review: Godsend
		The premise, and I use that term loosely here, of Godsend is a young couple, Paul (Greg Kinnear) and Jessie (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) have a happy life with their son Adam (Cameron Bright), that is until Adam meets with an untimely death shortly after his eight birthday.
		What fails in Godsend is ultimately the premise is not enough to hold what little plot there is together.
		Godsend was promoted as a film about cloning but it fails to challenge the audience at all.

	The Film Asylum Review - Godsend (Greg Kinnear, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos)
		As the cloned child passes the age of the original child’s death, odd behaviors begin to manifest in the child causing the doctor’s benevolent motives to be questioned.
		The advertisements for Godsend made the movie seem more horror than suspense with several cuts that were reminiscent of “The Shining,” “The Others,” and “Jacob’s Ladder.” Godsend starts off slow but the story seems promising from the outset.
		Godsend starts off slow on suspense but the story does manage to capture the imagination if you let it.

	SoundtrackNet : Godsend Soundtrack
		Godsend, while suspenseful and sometimes scary, holds an underlying theme of parents' love for their lost child and the longing to bring him back.
		As a result, Tyler's score for Godsend walks a line between horror and drama in a way that few scores are able to.
		The main theme for Godsend is a slow, poignant, oddly beautiful melody in the strings and horns that is played out in full in both "Godsend Main Titles" and "Godsend End Titles" with light, ambient electronics drifting in and out of the beat.

	Godsend by Brian Tyler \| Cinemusic.net Soundtrack Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Where the score works best is where it responds to the human aspects of the story, centering on the parents' confused blur of loss, dread, and hope surrounding their son.
		"Godsend Main Title" demonstrates these qualities the best, and reminds me of Danny Elfman's approach to similar minded dramas in its ability to unveil the film's main theme in a fashion that is powerful but never obvious.
		The theme itself is comprised of two halves, the first rising with a sense of reserved dread and anguish, the second responding with warmer empathetic chords, as though the music is trying to console the characters while embodying their grief.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: Godsend
		The poor actress, flaring her nostrils and whimpering about "Eeeevil!," seems to resurrect all sorts of cotton-pickin' stereotypes before our very eyes; it doesn't help that her character lives in a run-down old shack that sticks out like a sledgehammer signifier within its Hollywoodized lower-class landscape.
		Issues of class and race are integral parts of Godsend's story, yet Hamm bloody well ignores them, throwing his weight behind the cheap scares supposedly demanded by genre stricture.
		Godsend is finally less angering than it is depressing, a sad comment on our collective desires for simplistic symbols and Pavlovian manipulations in lieu of more complex and soulful cinema.

	Variety.com - Reviews - Godsend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Solid performances, handsome production values and a few genuinely creepy scenes are not enough to save "Godsend." After a modestly promising set-up, pic devolves into a stale rehash of cliches and conventions left over from dozens of demon-child thrillers that trailed "The Exorcist" and "The Omen" throughout the 1970s and early '80s.
		Expect "Godsend" to be consigned quickly to homevid purgatory.
		De Niro doggedly struggles to maintain a facade of benign sincerity during first half of "Godsend," but his character is so obviously an archetypical mad scientist that his best efforts are inadvertently comical.

	MovieFreak.com - "Godsend" Movie Review by Gregory L. Amato
		As I try to characterize Godsend as a member of a particular genre, I immediately think "thriller." As far as I can tell, thrillers are movies that have little substance but will try to distract you with sudden audio/visual jolts, much like my ex-girlfriend.
		Eventually he finds Godsend’s equivalent of the Oracle, who not only can tell him everything he needs to know, but almost acts as if she were expecting him.
		The idea of cloning in Godsend is little more than a gimmick to build a story around, one that is nonspecific and convenient anytime something complicated might come up.

	Godsend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The suggestion is that the clone of a dead child begins to have supernatural dreams at the age his host was killed--a premise that fosters consuming dread and marks potentially the best mainstream horror film since The Ring.
		Godsend has so much going for it that it's trebly painful when intelligence and courage squeeze out of it like the protracted death rattle of one of the picture's perversely cheerful birthday balloons.
		Godsend is the kind of disappointment where you realize that not only does the film fail a fantastic concept, it's also made it just that much more difficult for someone with the ability to carry the concept through to a satisfactory end to ever realize it properly.

		In the tradition of "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Others," this taut and gripping thriller tells the story of devoted parents who are willing to do anything to resurrect their beloved son who was tragically killed in a freak accident.

	Godsend Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Robert De Niro's latest film is certainly no Godsend, either for the Oscar-winning star's career or anyone who makes the mistake of sitting through this cheesy sci-fi thriller.
		They struggle to lend Godsend some semblance of emotional credibility, but it's all for naught as Nick Hamm's film quickly degenerates into a nonsensical and overwrought update of The Bad Seed (1956).
		The plot of Godsend seems lifted from one of those trashy horror paperbacks you'd buy in the airport to kill time on a layover—and then leave on the plane.

	"Godsend" / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		To ensure the secret is kept, the family resettles in the idyllic town of Riverton, close to Dr. Wells' impressive Godsend Fertility Clinic.
		“Godsend” is a cross between “The Bad Seed” and “The Sixth Sense.” In the former, there is an interesting conversation discussing evil in the context of nature vs. nurture: Does evil have its roots in human psychology or biology?
		“Godsend” is such a movie, but there is much in it to appreciate.

	Godsend (2004): Reviews
		In Godsend, we have the spectacle of three good actors tied to the mast of a sinking premise.
		At the half-hour mark, Godsend falls off the edge of reason, veering wildly away from what seems the promising beginning of a drama about the ethics of human cloning and instead becomes the cheesiest of hallucinatory horror movies.
		his last movies are horrible, including godsend that was a stupid movie, meet the fockers (not as good as meet the parents) and his last movie (wich i saw 2day) come out,come out whoever you are (was even scaryer then godsend).

	Godsend (2004) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		The couple moves to the small town of Riverton, home of Wells’ impressive Godsend Fertility Clinic, where the stem cells carrying Adam’s DNA are implanted in Jessie’s womb and where Adam will be born and raised – for the second time.
		If Godsend had been made 50 years ago in fl and white, it would be exactly the kind of thing I enjoy watching late on Saturday nights when there’s nothing else on TV.
		Like many sci-fi and horror films of the 1950s and 1960s, Godsend is also a cautionary tale, not so much about cloning—which is Godsend’s main subject—but about what happens when the power to do such “godlike” acts falls into the wrong hands.

		While the 1980 version of the Godsend was not an outright screamer, by the standards of the 2004 adaptation, it's masterful.
		`Godsend' attempts to capitalize on our vague fear of recent cloning techniques, but sheer predictability and indescribably vapid acting from Robert De Niro undermines what should be a much more insightful and chilling thriller.
		Surely the topic deserves to be made into a film again, but few things in `Godsend' actually could be called a success that is stimulating intellectually or else.

		The unintentional comedy in question is Godsend, brought to you by the people who wish they'd made The Sixth Sense (including executive producer and infamous Dallas Mavericks owner Paul Cuban, now dabbling in movies through his financing company 2929 Entertainment).
		The complete absence of computer-generated effects in Godsend is refreshing, but the grey, subdued visual quality is a total ripoff of M. Night Shyamalan, as are Adam's visions of the dead.
		Kinnear is able as the tortured father, and Rebecca Romijn-soon-to-be-ex-Stamos, acquits herself competently, in contrast to her slight performances in movies like The Punisher.
