Audience Member Blessed Are The Children" combines the classic horror style nicely with the more modern concept, the atmosphere is familiar slasher flare, in an ultra low budget way. The pace and steady straightforward design is methodical, quality work that elevates the relative inexperience of the cast, and financial restraints with production. Kudos to Moore for some impressive directing and obvious eye for storytelling. The special effects and horror elements are some of the better work I have seen in low budget indie horror. Thought out moments of visceral blood and gore fill the films horror scenes with bold, practical ideas that really shine. Plus the atmosphere and sound effects are reminiscent of such films like "Alice Sweet Alice" and "The Town That Dreaded Sundown". My only red flag with "Blessed Are The Children" is the religion-esque , biased feel that the subject matter seemed to carry. It dealt with abortion and possibly seemed more prolife, than neutral. It is a controversial topic and even today moods can feel a bit threatening on both sides. Which oddly enough is part of what makes this movie some quality indie horror entertainment. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Way better than average no-budget slasher flick with a strong ensemble of characters, some truly terrifying set pieces, and haunting imagery. Kaley Ball, Keni Bounds, and Arian Thigpen are all terrific in their roles as the three leads. They're adorable, sassy, and likable. It really makes a huge difference when there's a horror film with characters you want to root for. The killers themselves are imposing - typically silent except during their harrowing phone calls to their victims which reminded me of something out of Black Christmas or The Exorcist. Very scary! Some might be turned off by the abortion stuff, but, honestly, it's not THAT big of a part of the film and it never takes much of a stance either way. It's just a great, solid, suspenseful, and super scary movie. Must see! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
