The movie “Godsend” is a movie that revolves around a family whose son died when he turned eight, and who they clone when given the chance by the wife’s former Biology teacher, who approached them during the funeral.
They take the chance and clone their son, who seemed normal for the first eight years of his life. When he turned eight, however, he started having nightmares with Zachary, who was the Biology teacher’s son who had also died.
They chase the teacher, who eventually unveils that he had modified their son genetically, inserting some of Zachary’s genes in him.
Their son starts losing control over his own self, acting like Zachary, and after killing one of his friends and trying to murder his own mother, he moves out with his parents in an attempt to get cured.
Nevertheless, even that doesn’t work, as by the end of the movie he gets “possessed” again.
Despite only having watched a small part of the movie towards the ending, I rather enjoyed it even with some of the first part’s details unbeknownst to me. It gives an interesting fictional view on cloning, and it has an unexpected cliffhanger ending.
