No pun intended - the movie is quite unique ... or rather its story is. And it is almost a shame it does not take more advantage of it. We are talking about something that you are not seeing that often. Not saying the story is completely unique ... but with some better ideas, a script that added a few things (scenes or character traits) .. it could have been .. well a contender I assume.

Acting is ok or decent ... but you won't be too amazed by it. The main character is quite bland - which is the biggest issues one can attach to it. You have to root for him ... I reckon the twists and the effects do safe the movie a bit ... but again, you have to love low budget movies ... and horror/fantasy inspired stuff too ... wicked, not always in the best sense.

I had to watch this movie a few times because I thought I was missing some key points that I didn't quite understand. I still don't understand how Rick is still alive but passed on his sins. Can anyone explain that to me? Did he not pass on all his sins? Is that why he still sees the girl he shot and wouldn't his fingerprints be all over the crime scene?

I believe this movie had the potential to be better. I did enjoy it in the beginning. I don't believe I would recommend this movie to anybody.

Maybe I will watch this movie later on and try again to figure it out. I'm really curious now about the religious part of the sin eater now.

When I sat down to watch the 2024 movie "Curse of the Sin Eater" from director Justin Denton, I had never actually heard about it. But the movie's cover proved interesting enough, and the fact that it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, and given my fascination with the horror genre, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch the movie.

I literally had no idea what I was in for here, so writers Adam Davis and Will Corona Pilgrim essentially had every opportunity to impress and entertain me.

The narrative is a slow burn. You need to venture well over halfway through the movie before things start to happen. And truth be told, I have to admit that my interest in the story was waning at that point. So writers Adam Davis and Will Corona Pilgrim sort of dropped the ball and never got it back on track.

The cast ensemble in the movie were all actors and actresses that I wasn't familiar with. And that is actually something that spoke in favor of the movie, as I enjoy watching unfamiliar talents on the screen. And I will say, that despite a subpar script and storyline, then the acting performances in "Curse of the Sin Eater" were fair.

Visually then you're not in for a grand experience in horror cinema. There were some simplistic special effects throughout the course of the movie, but it was hardly sufficient to boost the movie up and out of the mediocre lane.

My rating of director Justin Denton's 2024 movie "Curse of the Sin Eater" lands on a three out of ten stars.
