"The Crossbreed"

-


They say that pregnancy and motherhood can bring out the best times and the best in you. Though there are those who see it all as the exact opposite for various reasons. Abuse in their past, unplanned and uncertain of the future, though many don't have it putting you at the center of something evil.

Amy (Angela Durazo) is a young journalist who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. Distraught by this, she takes the advice of her friend Rose (Katy Bentz) she gets an abortion without telling her boyfriend John (Nathan Schellerup) right before they're both assigned to go to a remote town to cover a story about a pregnant woman that was said to have birthed something evil on the world. Little by little, Amy begins to suspect that this was more than a story and that the evil has plans for her that are linked to her past. As she races to find answers, she will soon learn that neither God nor the Devil can stop what is coming for her.

Creepy, yet underrated plot. While I loved how it played into the biblical stories and gave it a little mythology, I was disappointed by the lack of suspense and heart-racing moments of terror that I've come to expect from a descent horror film. The cast overall with the exception of Angela Durazo was mediocre and any special effects used could have been done by a college computer graphics major. Still, it had its unsuspecting twist which barely let it scrape by into getting two full G.M.Stars. Overall this film really isn't worth your time unless you go for twisted religious themed low-rate films.
