The Godsend (1980)


The Godsend is a 1980 horror film based on a book called The Godsend by Bernard Taylor. Directed by Gabrielle Beaumont and starring Malcolm Stoddard, Cyd Hayman, Angela Pleasence and Wilhelmina Green. A family with four children go on a picnic in the countryside, when a strange pregnant woman with piercing eyes shows up. She befriends the parents and is a guest in their home. Soon the woman enters labour and gives birth to a girl called Bonnie Blue. The woman disappears leaving her newborn daughter with the family so they have no choice but to look after her. The mother never returns, and is never found, so the baby is adopted by the family. Years pass and Bonnie Blue grows into a beautiful toddler with white hair except that she has a very sinister motive and a really dark side that involves killing. There are some nice scenic views and a lot of unanswered mysteries, like where did Bonnie Blue's real mother vanish to and most of all what was she.
I rate this a 3/10 because the nature of the film, although not gruesome or supernatural, sends chills and is sad.
Howls ^^
