Storyline

Sarah Duncliffe is pregnant and suicidal. She is married to a man she does not love, stalked by an abusive ex boyfriend, and haunted by a dead girl who stares at her with a bloated bluish face and sad, questioning eyes. After a mishap, Sarah is instructed by her doctor to stay in bed. Begrudgingly she does. That is, until a strange older man moves in next door. A man with black teeth and an odd habit of sneaking into Sarah's yard to steal weeds. Emboldened by curiosity, Sarah sneaks into her neighbor's yard - only to be locked inside a greenhouse.

User Reviews

Very well done film

I recently checked out 'Blessid' on Amazon Prime and was quite impressed. Rachel Kerbs does a really nice job as the lead, and the film has really nice cinematography.

It creates a good story, with a limited cast size, and the opening title sequence is very well done. I thought the twist was clever and the film had a very cool old spooky Salem feel to it all.

I would have preferred the husband character to serve a bit more of a purpose in the later half of the movie, but it is nothing dealbreaking.

Overall a very good independent film that was an enjoyable watch. Would recommend.
