Sin Eater

First of all I have to admire the sheer pluck of Jessie Nerud. Putting up with those grotesque choppers throughout the movie can't have been pleasant and I think many actresses would have passed on blemishing their looks in such a manner. The rest of the cast are adequate rather than good and there's a lack of decent scares in the film but if you lower your expectations it's not a bad watch.

What The f was this? Probably the worst movie in years.. RETIRE ALL OF YOU!

Ridiculous stupid movie.

Doesn't make sense at all and bad acting No story at all.

Before watching I did read the feedback on this site and decided to give it a try anyway. Mistake. The beginning isn't to bad and keeps you watching. But somewhere halfway the whole thing becomes ridiculous as is the end. I really don't expect that much from low budget productions and give them some leeway to make up for the lack of funds, but sometimes it looks like they have run out of ideas before the movie ends and they just improvise. Don't bother watching it and belive the rating which is still overrated in my book.

Bad acting, bad story and a lack of scares results in a bad movie. Nothing that happens makes sense. I do am impressed that the star could stand her jaw being wired shut.

This movie is ok if you're just looking to pass some time, but don't expect groundbreaking cinema. The acting is ok, the story is ok, the filming and lighting is ok... overall the whole thing is just meh...

There are some things that need to be addressed, though. One, the main actress may be attractive enough in real life, but in this movie, she has just been through a horrific wreck with the bruises and contusions to go with it. Not to mention that the girl's mouth is wired shut. She is, by no means, a beauty queen here and you wouldn't expect her to be given the situation. The reason I bring this up if because on at least half a dozen occasions, if not more, the male characters just cannot get over how beautiful she is and insist on voicing that sentiment.

Then, there is the issue with the way that the Catholic Church is portrayed. We see flashbacks of the girl when she was younger. She is in what looks like an attic with her parents and a Catholic priest. She is supposed to have committed a grave sin ( I won't reveal it hereto keep from giving away spoilers, but I'm sure you can figure it out) and the priest is trying to get her to repent from her sinful ways. He does this by handcuffing her backwards to a chair, whipping her back until she bleeds and pouring what I assume is alcohol over her wounds. When that doesn't work, he pours what we assume is a flammable liquid over her and tells her parents that in order for her soul to be saved, her flesh must die. He then proceeds to try and ignite the girl! This is what the Catholic Church is portrayed as in hollywood.

Not to mention the fact that while there is a historical tradition of so-called sin-eaters, this is not what they were.

Complete and utter lies and propaganda.

If you watch this, just know what you are getting going in.
