Sinful

Sinful (2006)

BOMB (out of 4)

Extremely awful psychological thriller about a married woman (Misty Mundae) who slowly loses her mind because she isn't able to have children. She eventually meets her neighbor who is pregnant and plans on taking the unborn baby from her. There have been a few recent stories with deranged woman ripping babies out of other women and I'm sure this subject, while vile, could make for a good thriller or character study but this film certainly isn't it. This is an incredibly bad movie from start to finish but I'm not sure who would walk into this movie and expect anything else. Mundae is best known for her sexploitation roles and that's where she should have stuck because her performance her is really, really bad. Not once did I believe her as this deranged woman and now that I've seen a handful of her films it seems directors like to show she's "crazy" or "bad" by having her smoke a cigarette. I personally don't understand this childish connection but if that's the only way an actress or screenplay can show badness then you know you're in trouble. The film goes from reality to a fantasy world and it's hard to separate the two as both sequences look the exact same (overly dark). The supporting players are equally bad and there's no sense of direction anywhere. We get some rather gory moments with a fetus being ripped out and other dumb things but gorehounds won't find anything good here. The nudity is here but does nothing. The film runs 65-minutes but it's obvious the filmmakers ran out of ideas just by the extended opening and closing credits, which probably take over ten minutes. Just wait until you see the closing credits because of how slowly they move to push up the running time. I've seen thousands of movies but this is the first time I've seen this practice to push a running time.

Seem some o dvd the reviews but hey it wasnt bad look at some of the total crap out there. And not then when filmed bit now !! Digital age and still some 200 dollar budget pieces of trash. Come on this was a good lil indie film. You walk in expecting an insane budget. Well your bad. All in all ot was a cool little indoe film. Cheers and to hell with the haters.

Sinful stars Erin Brown (Misty Mundae) as Lilith an emotionally disturbed young women who is desperately trying to have a baby. When she fails to conceive a child on her own, she starts to look at taking a child from another woman. Lilith sets her sights on her next door neighbor who she becomes obsessed and jealous of. This leads to a decision she makes with frightening results.Erin does an OK job playing the a deeply disturbed woman. The acting in the film with the exception of Mundae is average. The film attempts to portray a somewhat creepy atmosphere with some queasy special effects with mixed results. The dialogue is a little below average and the story line does not flow (a series of single scenes).The film shows the progression of films coming from the EI Cinema / Seduction Cinema brand. They started with underground fetish styles films, then very funny erotic parodies of mainstream film and now have started releasing low budget erotic psychological horror/thillers. This film is for fans of Erin Brown/Misty Mundae and those of low budget horror films.

Sinful is a strange film about a girl who wants a baby and can't conceive one. She blames her husband and goes to the doctor regularly to check for pregnancy. She meets her neighbor and covets their life and baby. Her mother is a real b—h and she gets no support from anyone because of her violent accusatory nature. She dreams about having a baby, and also about taking someone else's baby. There us a lot of violence in this film along with some nudity and bad language. Some disturbing scenes with what the film makers want you to believe are fetuses at various stages of growth. The film seems to be made up of disconnected scenes, but it seems to tell a story of a very troubled woman. I can't say whether the acting was good or bad because the entire film wasn't very believable.

I really have a hard time even criticizing this movie, and i wonder in aw how the heck did this thing won two awards, anyway every location in the movie is just plain strange sometimes it seems like it was filmed in some other dimension, some of the performances are just laughable, it contains a lot of unnecessary nudity sometimes used correctly and a lot of other times well really wasn't, its filled with symbolisms which only the director and screewriter could understand, the whole thing is plain wrong and and barely unwatchable, I only watched the whole thing through to see if the director redeemed himself in the end..., guess what! well he didn't. I strongly recommend you to give this movie as a gift...to someone you really hate, perhaps your boss or your mother in law.
