Blessed Are the Children (2016)
Starring Kaley Ball, Cheryl Abernathy, Arian Thigpen
Directed by Chris Moore
Abortion is a hot-button issue that is sure to leave many debaters bruised and battered, let alone the people actually going through with it, but that’s an issue NOT for this site. However, when a twisted mind comes up with a presentation that takes said hot-button issue and tweaks it to involve a few demented spins, then you know we here at Dread Central have got to jump on in.
Directed by Chris Moore, Blessed Are the Children is a film that looks at the situation of Traci (Ball), who, after a rather nasty break-up with her ex, finds herself knocked up and not only behind the firing line from her nastier-than-nasty mother but also dealing with a creepy set of protesters at the clinic where she’s debating terminating the pregnancy… needless to say, this gal’s got some problems!
Not until after Traci’s visit to the clinic do some very bizarre instances begin to surround her, and Moore uses a blend of chilling visuals and snarky humor to deliver this little bundle of joy to the masses. I can’t say that this is one of those “got-to-see” films, but it does provide a bit of entertainment for those looking for a twisted take on something that is usually only spoken in hushed tones. Give it a look if it passes your way.
