Truly Dreadful Film

Instant Favorite.

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

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

A book on this family is coming out you can see some information on it at WWW.Familysins.com this family has done so many bad things and I am ashamed of most of them while i was not arrested with them I bare the burden of the name as they are my mother, father brothers and sister. I have wrestled with this for years about telling all. and because my kids are older and asking questions have decided to tell it all in hopes to answer all the questions. This book covers the Arsons, Rapes, Abuse and many many many more things the public was never told because the state chose not to cloud the waters with any more counts. deep inside the walls of the family compound for years kids of all ages lived in fear.

Hi..I am from Rhode Island and watched the movie. I vaguely remember hearing about this when it was discovered.BUT what surprised me the most was....in 2001 I hired a contractor to build an addition for me. He seemed like a nice enough guy and price was reasonable, (I called 7 companies and only got 3 prices..seemed like no one wanted to work).I had no idea who Raymond Burt was....well I found out at the end of the movie when I saw him and his family on the clips of them in the court room. What a shock that was.It was hard to imagine what the hell his life must have been like with a mother like his. He was pleasant and friendly and I would never have guessed what his family life was like. I can only hope he did what he did because his mother made him and not because he truly wanted to.The completed job was OK...a couple of things were not to my liking but that was subcontractors faults and Ray made up for them.Don't know where he is now or if still in business..but I hope he's not with his mother.....she is one scary BITCH!!!!!!

Bring it on and Kirstie Alley does and then some. Doesn't hit a false note in Family Sins. From her sunny suburban mom persona too the outright brutal cruelty w. her family, she is the master manipulator.She is just bone chilling in this role. It was great to see her in top form and thought the supporting cast was stellar. Just check out the stepford children and the long suffering Marie and Nadine, not to mention the son-in-law unfortunate enough to marry into this mess.While Will Patton doesn't give the strongest of performances, his role as the prosecutor out to "get the Gecks," is solid.All in all a good film about a very tragic story.

That was the best movie I have seen on TV in a very long time. We were just discussing this at work. I hope we see Kirstie Alley in more made for TV movies. She played a very convincing part and made us all very afraid of her. I must say that I haven't seen anything like it in a long time. I would like to see something on what has happened to this family since then. I really hate to find out that there are things like this going on and yet I realize that it does happen. I am really proud of the family members that stood up to her in the end. It was very courageous. Thank you for making us more aware of this type of thing and I hope everyone involved in this is doing well.
