While driving to return to the Vatican, Father Rosetti (Paxton Whitehead) is attacked by two men driving motorcycles and they have an accident on the road. Father Rosetti survives, but stays catatonic in the hospital. His assistant Father O'Carroll (Anthony John Denison) is summoned to the Vatican and assigned to investigate the fifteen year-old Margaret (Sydney Penny) in Pennsylvania, who is pregnant but claims that she is virgin. Her agnostic Dr. Phinney (Brad Davis) confirms the state of the teenager. Father O'Carroll returns to the Vatican and is informed about a second case of virgin pregnancy in Boston, and learns that one is the son of God, and the other is the Anti-Christ and he shall find who is who. He returns to Boston to meet Sister Anne (Sela Ward) and the pregnant teenager Kathleen Beavier (Kristin Dattilo), and strange things happen.
"Child of Darkness, Child of Light" is an underrated horror 1991 TV Movie. The storyline about the birth of the Anti-Christ is the theme of many other movies, but most of them are after the birth. "Child of Darkness, Child of Light" shows the concern of the Catholic Church since there are two mysterious cases of virgin pregnancies and the Powers That Be know that one of them is the son of the devil. The several twists by the ending of the film, and the open conclusion is great. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Filho do Bem, Filho do Mal" ("Son of the Good, Son of the Evil")
