La famille du péché

Loved this movie! The plot was a little predictable at times, but the cast carried it so well that I really enjoyed those 'expected' horror moments. My favorite character was Clyde - he was so hot and scary as the bad guy!! Sam Meader can kidnap me any day.

On a flyer, I watched this movie on LMN and was so pleasantly surprised that I felt the need to give it an (almost) ten-star review. If the storyline weren't so far-fetched, it would have gained all five stars from me.

Where the film triumphed, however, was the great cast of actors. Cathy Moriarty was fantastic as the deranged mother - a role I hadn't seen her play before - and AlexAnn Hopkins was equally a delightful heroin.

The standout for me was the role of Clyde, played by Sam Meader. He gave such a solidly chilling performance as the bad guy that he almost had me rooting for him. An actor I hadn't come across before, I look forward to seeing him in future movies.

Overall, a fun film if you don't take it too seriously - worth the watch!

My quick rating - 3,2/10. If the Lifetime channel wanted to get a bit darker than their normal stuff, they would've gotten this. Only their actors are typically better. After a woman is in a car accident on the way to visit some college, she is picked up by an ambulance and instead of a hospital, she is taken to the home of a twisted family led by Momma (Cathy Moriarty) There is really nothing here you haven't seen before in the old kidnap woman and keep her captive story. The family isn't insane in any manner such as Rob Zombie would give us. More or less the standard one son blindly following the mom, the other reluctantly following. Everything here falls right into place as you would expect and doesn't make for great viewing.

The plot was a little far fetched but the story once you got into it tracked well and they tied up any loose ends. Better than many Lifetime movies. Cathy Moriarty was a little over the top playing to a supporting cast as Momma which were many unknowns..

This was very entertaining for the genre, and especially a made for tv movie. I don't really want to say more, because I hate when reviews tell you details about the movie.
