Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Bucharest

Blessed is a 2004 horror film directed by Simon Fellows and starring Heather Graham, James Purefoy, Fionnula Flanagan, Alan McKenna, Stella Stevens, Andy Serkis and David Hemmings in his final film appearance. A British and Romanian co-production, the film was released by DEJ Productions on July 14, 2004. It received generally negative reviews from critics.

Production

The working title of the film was Samantha's Child, the title under which it was released in the United States. Filming took place mainly in Bucharest, Romania, with some location shooting in New York City.

During filming, David Hemmings suffered a heart attack and was pronounced dead on the scene, according to his agent Liz Nelson: "he had just finished his final shots of the day and was going back to his dressing room". Because he died before post-production, Hemmings' ADR had to be recorded by impressionist Rory Bremner. The film was dedicated to his memory.
