Godsend drama movie, and is directed by Nick Hamm. The score is by Brian Tyler.
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. The movie was poorly received by critics, and the one plot twist towards the end of the movie is noted for being technically impossible. The film starts with the Duncans (Kinnear and Stamos), burying their 8-year old son Adam. They are then approached by Dr. Richard Wells (De Niro) at the funeral home, who claims he can clone their son and Rebecca Duncan could then give birth to him again. They agree to it, but the procedure is illegal and they therefore have to move away in order to keep it a secret. The new Adam Duncan reaches his 8th birthday unaware of what had happened, but then starts having night-terrors which develop into visions. He becomes increasingly violent, and when a child drowns at Adam's school, Paul Duncan is prompted to investigate Dr. Wells. Eventually it conspires that when Wells cloned Adam Duncan, he inserted the DNA of his own dead son, Zachary Clark, into the process, causing Adam to eventually develop a split personality: Adam Duncan and Zachary Clark. Unfortunately for all involved, Zachary was a psychopath who murdered his mother, and under the influence of Zachary's memories, Adam attempts to do the same. |
