Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A voice on the phone takes people on a life and death ride for cash prizes. Elliot Brindle is a meek nice-guy salesman expecting a promotion but gets fired instead. He cares for his mentally handicapped brother Michael. He's in debt and his girlfriend Shelby is pregnant. He's forced to take in his angry racist father who is getting evicted. He gets a phone call claiming that he's on a hidden camera show. The voice tells him that he could win prizes for completing 13 challenges. At first, the tasks are relatively easy and the money is real. Soon, manipulations force him to continue the dangerous game and any failure would take away the money already won. Police detective Chilcoat (Ron Perlman) takes on the seemingly random series of petty crimes by the same man.This is a Blumhouse production and a remake of a Thai horror. It needs a bigger name in the Elliot lead. Also, Elliot is too deliberately oblivious. With the threat to take away his money, he should play it safe by taking out the cash and closing his account. Of course, the voice can come back by upping his credit card charges. At least, he needs to show the brains to try to resist. It's an intriguing high concept idea but little nagging issues do persist. It's not really about the 13 challenges but rather a changing personality. In that sense, I do see the concept bearing some fruits.

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.

There seems to be more and more horror and thriller films coming out that involve tests or games. These games usually start off harmless enough, but throughout the course of the movie, test a characters morality or will to survive, at times pitting the two against each other. With a wide net this genre of film would include Fermat's Room, Cube, Exam, Would You Rather, the Saw movies, etc. 13 sins fall into this category as well.I was initially a little hesitant to watch 13 Sins. It had gotten good reviews, and was free through Prime, but just like I'm starting to get sick of time travel films, I'm also a little bored with this genre as well. However, boredom and lack of options led me to trek forward and give this little thriller a shot.The story centers around a man with a pregnant wife who loses his job, and receives a phone call inviting him to partake in a game in which he has to complete 13 tasks in order to win a few million dollars. The first task is simple enough, kill a fly. The second, is to eat it. However, as the protagonist dives deeper into the game, it becomes more dangerous and immoral.I don't really know what to say about this movie, for it wasn't remarkable, but it was definitely entertaining. There's some good laughs as well as some good tension. It didn't bore me, and it offered something a little different for the genre.

"13 Sins" is an engagingly daft, amusing (in a very black kind of way), and fairly disconcerting 'horror' film that finds wimp Mark Webber, (very good), being offered a fortune by a nameless voice on the telephone, (the Devil himself?), if he completes 13 tasks, each one more bizarre and horrific than the one before. It's a novel idea and very nicely handled by director Daniel Stamm and it came and went without anyone really knowing it was there, (a lack of names in the cast probably didn't help; the biggest name here is Ron Perlman who drifts in and out and is obviously there for the pay cheque). It may be no classic but it's certainly worth seeking out.
