NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

GazerRise Fantastic!

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

sunflower_filth Before I hand this review over to my friend who is surely going to rip this movie to shreds, let me just say:-the plot (until it got WAY too confusing to follow) was good. From an aspiring directors perspective, there were too many extreme close-ups, when really a couple medium or regular close shots would have sufficed. To add to that, there's also something called pace. Especially for the script-too much info in too short of a time. And too long for a scene to actually carry. Might I add I when it comes to creepiness, the moonlight of nature is usually the best answer. In the basement the light was "eerily" red. And there's a reason eerie is in quotations. Let nature (especially the night time) do it's thing for creepiness. But seriously, silhouettes with partial faces are better than faces with crappy eeriness. Nature is usually the best. There were a lot of high shots, and some low ones would have been nice. There were however AMAZING shots-like the ones that took place in the woods, panning (on a dolly I think) the branches-props to whoever did those. Ron, neglected to use his eyebrows which drove me NUTS throughout the entire film, his voice was very monotone as well. Basically the only characters that were even slightly believable were the two stone-rs. There were some scenes like after Sue puked outside the car door, before they even got into the house, she wipes her mouth and then Ron holds the hand. Ew. At least make it somewhat plausible and make her wipe he hands on her pants! Also after Sue coughs up blood, her chin isn't stained, nor are her teeth. or if they were she rinsed her mouth out with a glass of water before they shot the next scene, which makes it less believable. As well, I'm pretty sure it doesn't take all night to climb down an effing ladder, considering Ron was able to climb up one in order to help her kill the ONLY COOL GUY in the entire movie. Oh and destroy the body? did anyone hear of salting and burning the bones?!?! She should've at least smashed the skull in instead of letting it roll off the spine and onto the floor. Oh yeah, you sure showed him.Hi there, now that you've had a taste from the directors perspective, here's one from the horror genre admirer. First of all, I'd like to express how unbelievably BAD this movie was. I watched the first HOUR of it, took it out of my DVD player and whipped it across my bedroom. I was so angry! The story sounded great, it got my hopes up and then crashed and burned them. The only reason I even watched the rest of it was because the director buff made me, though I was glad because there were ten minutes of this movie that was actually worth watching. It started when Taylor gets possessed. While I'm at it, Prentice Reedy's acting was the only BELIEVABLE performance in the entire movie. It ended when the pulled "The Shining" trick with the axe scene. That irked me beyond belief. The GULL the writers had to have! To take something from one of the greatest horror movies ever created and put it into this piece of crap! The only saving grace, that Ron was killed. I was so sick of his bad soap-opera acting. Like my friend mentioned earlier, every time he needed facial expression, no eyebrow movement. It was like his face got a bad botox injection.Anyways, to wrap this movie-bashing up, bad acting (save Prentice Reedy's), bad plot, bad movie altogether. Want to see this movie? Don't. However, if you DO choose not to listen, have fun with this little gem.

Jan Strydom I watched this film very closely and wondered what kind rating I could give it.To begin I thought it was fairly entertaining, the pace was slow moving yet it maintained a good character development {Not often seen in this line of film} the acting has a lack of depth, for example you don't often see a lot facial expressions during serious moments and the reactions at best are like extremely dull.At least the storyline is good, and the director created a not too bad look for the film.Overall, a relatively good choice for horror fans but don't expect Oscar winning performances.

valiantpower I just rented Wages of Sin. I thought it was an OK movie.You have to respect what the filmmaker was trying to do. Some of it was very good. The acting was good compared to a number of low-budget films I have seen lately. The two lead actresses are quite attractive with some good performances. The two lead actors are quite handsome and the acting was very good too, as was the little girl who I thought was great. As far as the Preacher, he was pretty creepy, and his twisted views were interesting. Some of the imagery, lighting and camera work was pretty good. As was the directing over all. And considering the budget, as it is said to be low-budget, then all I can say is well done. I truly think the movie is worth watching. My friends and I watch every horror that comes out, this one definitely makes a mark. Sincerely, Valiant

simonsmeg I am a huge fan of horror films and I really enjoyed Wages of Sin. I was very impressed with the directing of this film. I thought the Director, Aaron Robson, did an incredible job. His vision was apparent in the first shot. His choice of actors was excellent. The Casting Director, Partricia Phelan, has a fine eye for talented up and coming actors. I hope we get to see these actors in more films. Not only were the actors very talented, they were beautiful as well. Mr. Robson drove the story forward with well thought out scenes, plot points, themes and top notch acting. I thought Cheyne Wilson did an amazing job on the make-up. As well as the DP and lighting were superb. Since I am a director and writer myself, I could clearly see the creativity, talent, hard work, time and dedication Mr. Robson put into this film. He tackled a tough subject and made it into an entertaining and scary film. Aaron Robson is a director I would like to see do more films. He created a unique and truly original film.
