In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Godsend (2004)
A horror directed by Nick Hamm, starring Robert De Niro.
An 8 year old boy is killed in a car accident and his parents are distraught over the loss of their son. A scientist comes to them and tells them of a way to clone their child, so they accept his offer. Once the new son reaches the age of 8, he begins having nightmares and acting out at school.
Mediocre and generic. It follows every 2000s high budget horror film cliche. Needless to say, the production quality looks amazing because of the 25 million dollar budget. I especially found it funny when the dad was looking up sleep problems online. They had him looking at incoherent graphs and charts while stereotypical "learning music" was playing in the background. The dad is the butt of all jokes here, as he goes like an informal private detective and tracks down a nanny who may have important information. She tells him a story (in flashback, of course) that he thinks will "blow the lid off his case". I'm rating this bad because it's overproduced, generic crap.
