Contrary to some mildly previous review; this is the best thriller I saw this year so far (and I saw lots of movies from USA and foreign ). I I strongly believe this movie deserves a real release (it was apparently shown during one week without any publicity in few theaters) with publicity. It is imperative these guys can make something like this or perhaps better because they fully understand the joy of movies. The premise is primary based on 13 Beloved (The Game, The Box and other movies has certain similarities too ) but far better directed, written and acted. A good man in a desperate situation, Elliot (the outstanding Mark Webber) get fired from his job for not selling an expensive insurance policy to an old lady. He is about to get married with his pregnant black fiancée (Rutina Wesley), his unbearable and racist father is about to being evicted and move to his house; his mentally ill brother is already living with him and without insurance he will surely be institutionalized. While driving on his car Elliot get a phone call from somebody who knows about his situation and offering $ 1000 to start a game. Just to kill a fly. He does it; but the second challenge, for 3K is to eat the fly. Checking his account and noticing that the money is real, he eats the fly and is then offered to participate in 13 challenges for increasing amounts of money. The rules; he has limited amount of time to perform the tasks; if he loses, he loses all the money, and nobody has to know about this. A few more rules will appear later. As you might expect every task becomes more difficult, dangerous and sadistic. After a while we realize, other people are playing the game and paths are crossing continuously. The joy of the movie is that the director (Daniel Stamm) makes us immediately care for the character and his game and forget about why this is happening and who is behind it. Elliot moves from a quiet and timid person to an adrenaline driven (and sometimes vengeful person). The question is; will he become a psycho as the game tries to transform him. Stamm gives the movie a satisfactory pace, an increasing tension that makes almost impossible to stop watching and a satisfactory ending. Even the production values (it seems very modest) had been properly used. What else can you ask from a movie than been fully entertaining a on top have a deeper meaning that leave you thinking.

Some people here have never seen a movie it seems. How is this a brilliant movie?! This is one of the ones you watch in its entirety because it's so provocatively bad. It does not only not make any sense in itself and is very inconsequential on top but literally everyone in it lacks any sort of common sense, too. It's very unsatisfying. I would not ever recommend it to anyone, although I do sometimes host a trash movie night where we watch infuriatingly bad films that make you scream at the screen what an actual, thinking person would do instead in complete disbelief. For that type of entertainment, it's a good contender, if that's your thing go ahead. 7/10 for ridiculing it, 3/10 as an actual movie and that's generous on both those numbers.

13 Sins pits a money hungry loser in a rat race to win millions of dollars by completing one heinous act after another. As you can probably tell by the plot line, the challenges get more and more extreme until it results in murder and mayhem. This is a film that starts out rather strong, an awesome opening that sparks intrigue, a likable loser protagonist, and then...it descends into one ridiculous plot twist after another until you start saying "really"? 13 Sins is directed by David Stamm, who gave us The Last Exorcism in 2010. While The Last Exorcism generated buzz around him, it quickly fizzled out, resulting in this half baked attempt at reinvigorating the Saw franchise with a bit more "jazz". This film plays out like your typical Netflix movie, it features usually supporting actors in lead roles and a screenplay that is so terrible that Ed Wood wouldn't even touch it. 13 Sins is ridiculous, preposterous and downright stupid when it is all said and done. My biggest problem with this film is the screenplay because, by traditional standards, the technical side of this film isn't all that bad. The script is an ill conceived and very poor attempt at giving the audience that "ah ha" moment without it every really making sense. Despite these major flaws, 13 Sins features a cast lead by Mark Webb and Ron Perlman, who both do their best given their parts. Quite frankly, the cast is the only reason to give this film a watch. Overall, 13 Sins is best to be watched on Netflix, if at all. It is a brisk 90 minute film that makes you feel every single minute of it without giving you anything to really hold on to.

Am I the only person who found this film oddly funny? The main character seemed comic to me as did Ron Perlman and some of the scenes were almost slapstick. Yes it was gross and macabre towards the end but even then it seemed somewhat Monty Pythonesque. I had as many laugh out loud moments in this film as I did 'eeeew' ones and they even had some 'keystone cop' chases thrown in for good measure. The description 'tongue in cheek' was made for this film, psychological horror thriller?...you are having a laugh! I could not possibly take this film seriously as a horror thriller but as a first rate black comedy yes I could and I really enjoyed it.

OK. So the first 7 'dares' gripped me, especially 7 & 8, but I felt a little bit of dissolution by the remaining tasks as they took on an 'you're the not man you started out 3 days ago' scenario.. Absolutely love Ron Purlman, and I don't think he'd advocate the motorbike scene, even though he's a nutter. (Is is possible that bodies can still move without a head?!) I do honestly believe that America's answer to our English Simon Pegg should be Mark Webber. If you're listening buddy, you've got what it takes to become America's next Carey / Martin. You are a flaming good actor buddy!! My respect to your Hollywood intro chief. As a horror drama - no

In New Orleans, the salesman Elliot Brindle (Mark Webber) is full of debts and expecting a promotion to get married with his girlfriend Shelby (Rutina Wesley) that is pregnant. However his unethical chief fires him and Elliot is desperate since he supports his intellectually disabled brother Michael Brindle (Devon Graye) with his health insurance. He reaches the rock bottom when his estranged racist father (Tom Bower) tells that he is going to live with him. Out of the blue, Elliot receives a phone call and a stranger invites him to participate in a game where he may win a large amount and become a millionaire provided he accomplishes thirteen tasks. Initially the skeptical Elliot needs to kill a fly and then eat it. After each task, Elliot finds the promised deposit in his bank account. He decides to accept the invitation, and the tasks become aggressive, gruesome, brutal and offensive. When Elliot decides to quit the game, he realizes that there is no return for him. "13 Sins" is a film that uses the storyline fairly inspired in the 1997 "The Game". The film holds the attention of the viewer and entertains, but the omnipresence of the instructor of the game is impossible to believe. In addition, how could the system drop all the accusations against Elliot if he played havoc with the precinct, inclusive shooting the foot of the police captain among others atrocities? My vote is six. Title (Brazil): "13 Pecados" ("13 Sins")

"13 Sins" has a lot in common with another recent low-budget, independent film, "Cheap Thrills." In both, a down-on-his-luck young man, driven by extreme desperation, agrees to perform a series of unsavory/immoral/illegal acts in exchange for ever larger quantities of money. The protagonist of "13 Sins," a psychological thriller written by David Birke and Daniel Stamm and directed by Stamm, is Elliot Brindle (Mark Webber), a harried and harassed insurance agent who has a number of people depending on him for their livelihood and support. These include his pregnant fiancé ("True Blood's" Rutina Wesley), his mentally- challenged younger brother (Devon Graye) and a cantankerous racist dad (Tm Power) who's been evicted from his home and now has to move in with Elliot and his black girlfriend. Then Elliot is summarily fired from his job, leaving him utterly bereft and desperate, until, that is, he receives a call from a mysterious stranger who offers to make Elliot a fortune if he successfully performs 13 tasks as part of a surreal "game show," the hitch being that he can't let anyone in on what he's doing or he'll lose all his winnings. At first the tasks seem simple enough, but as they escalate in intensity, it quickly becomes apparent that the object of the game is to "show that anyone can be turned into a monster." And Elliot is only too willing to prove that point. The mood is grim and the humor pitch-black in this Kafkaesque tale of an ordinary man caught in an incomprehensible nightmare from which he cannot awaken, a nightmare filled with shadowy figures and disembodied voices that hold him in their implacable grip - though, if truth be told, the lure of easy wealth can be awfully hard to resist, even when the price is as potentially dear as it is here. The movie is creepy and disturbing in its unflinching look at the morally depraved depths to which desperate people will sink in an effort to ameliorate their situation. It forces us to look at a lot of unsettling aspects of human nature - aspects we might not be all that willing to face - but that's what makes it an effective little horror film in the long run.

I am a man of very few words, so I am not going to give a long, drawn- out, in-depth review. This was a wonderful movie. It is loads of fun IF (and only if) you have as dark of a sense of humor as I do. See it. You will not be disappointed as long as (as I said before) you have a very dark sense of humor and you like movies in which the main character is psychologically tortured. End of review. Only one question: How the hell did this do SO poorly at the box office?! I mean, how does a movie (ANY MOVIE) gross less than $10,000?! I mean, "Jaws: The Revenge" made over $20,000,000 for God's sake. It is not exactly Hitchcock's "Psycho", but "13 Sins" is still a really fun movie.

This film was great! It hooked me from the start and kept me entertained from start to finish. Good acting, an interesting and fresh premise, a strong and well-paced plot, and a satisfying ending. Better yet this film has real depth, and it all comes together very nicely at the end. A thought-provoking film, to be sure. At one level this film is about how everyone is (potentially) a monster, if enough is at stake. At another level, It's about the conflict between community/family and the individual. Would you forsake your community and/or family for personal riches? This film asks that very question. Definitely worth the price of a rental, you won't be disappointed!
