Sinful

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.

I have to say my expectations were dashed badly with this film upon seeing it. Now while I always get a sly sense of entertainment from any Misty Mundae film, I have to admit that I held higher hopes for this movie having read reviews in magazines and seeing that it won two indy awards from a NJ film festival.

I ran to the store and bought this film when it came out as it was touted as a more serious role for Mundae and while I find her films goofy and campy, I would love to see her break out into mainstream a little more. Well, while I hold hopes for this to happen someday, it won't happen with this particular director sadly.

The story had potential, but there are entire sequences that beg the question: Is this *all* in her head or is she flipping between reality and fantasy? A good director could have you wondering right to the end, and with the right vehicle and inferences could even make you ponder it afterwards, but with this film, it just leaves you confused (at least that was how I felt as well as a number of friends that watched it with me).

If you are into the trippy pseudo-reality genre, this might be the movie for you, for me, I just sat watching the end (won't ruin it for anyone) and scratching my head thinking: Did the end get clipped on the editing room floor? To me, this director seems to assume that everyone will just 'get it', and I can speak for the 6 people that watched it with me, we didn't get it. At all.

Personally as a fan of Misty Mundae I'll keep it in my collection (I actually like the cover more than the film), but it won't be one I'll watch very often I'm sad to say.

Niko Psarras in the sex scene when he allegedly impregnated his live-in girlfriend, looked like a crackhead trying to get that last hit on the pipe. And a starving seal trying to scrape a mollusk off a rock.

It's was so obnoxious that I fast forwarded it just to keep from regurgitating. I don't know who directed that particular scene, but I sure as Hell hope that I never see anything like that ever again.

And what's up with that loud smacking, put some Vaseline on those slimy lips. And talk about over the top nonsense. You're having dinner with your neighbors for the first time, and you are making out like juveniles in front of them drinking wine out of plastic cups.

The two lead female actors are only only good aspect of this movie thus far and I am 35 minutes in suffering from nausea already.

Misty's role was similar to that of the movie Adalyn where the woman suffered from postpartum depression and was going in and out of reality.

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.

The movie contains lots of violent and disgusting imagery, nudity, but did not have a plot to hold the movie together as a story. Instead, the movie tries to visualize some of the twisted thought processes that might go through a woman's head as she steals another person's baby.

Nobody will enjoy this movie. It is not a story; i.e. a series of events. Whatever it was that the director was attempting to accomplish, he failed to put together a movie that was watchable or understandable.

If the cover is to believed, the movie did win two awards in New Jersey. Not your typical venue for movie awards, and I disagree that it should have received any awards, but I guess that means that some people might have understood what the director wanted to say.
