Where to Watch The Godsend
- Rob MacKinnonOctober 20, 2025I saw the trailer for this movie when I was a kid and it creeped me out. It is mildly creepy in parts (especially Angela Pleasance as the weirdo mystery mom), but overall it was disappointing and kind of annoying. It’s so obvious that Bonnie is a monster that it’s hard to take the mother’s denial and ignorance for the entire length of the movie. And the ending is awful.
