The Calling (2003)

Summary: On her wedding night, a young woman conceives a child during an hallucinatory encounter. Years later, as her friends and family begin to behave strangely, she pieces together clues that lead to one conclusion...her son is the Antichrist.
Overall: I think the film was very much like “Rosemary’s Baby” but putting the emphasis on the baby into a toddler into his pre-teen years. The focus is mom being a career woman being supplanted in the home by neighbors and watching her world crumble around her. It’s a decent film on its own although I’m not sure I truly buy how fast everyone turns on the woman. But I think the problem is the topic has been done many times before and all this does is push the kid’s age aside and yet gives us nothing else different.
