The DVD says:

Starring screen legend Robert De Niro, Godsend is the story of a eight year old boy named Adam Duncan. A kind, thoughtful and well behaved child, he is the apple of his parent's eye until one day he is knocked down by a car and tragically killed. With both parents totally grief stricken, the mysterious Dr Richard Wells (De Niro) offers them another chance of happiness. He can create a clone of Adam that will be identical to the child they lost. Nine months later they have their child back. Identical in every way, it's like Adam had never left them. He has his mother's eyes, his father's smile, but when he crosses the age at which he died terrifying things begin to happen.

My Opinion:

A strong thriller rather than out and out horror that builds the suspense to a high point and then really disappoints with a poor ending. Some of the alternative endings are certainly better, but there's still something missing. In it's defence, Robert De Niro does give an excellent performance as do the rest of the cast. It's just a shame that you don't finish the film on a dramatic note. The DVD has a nice selection of extras for those interested in some of the background information.
