And with a name like Chilcoat, how can you not like this character. Chilcoat is close to cracking the case to see who and what is behind this mad violent game. Meanwhile, a police detective named Chilcoat (Ron 'man-god' Perlman), is on Elliot's tail as his crime spree goes all over town. But after this, the tasks get more diabolical and super violent, forcing Elliot to confront his fear of confrontation and deal with some pretty emotional set-ups. The second task is for him to eat the dead fly, which of course he does, and he is paid even more to his surprise. The first task is for him to kill the fly that is buzzing around him, which he does and he sees that he is paid handsomely for it in his bank account. And given his current unfortunate situation, he accepts this offer. He then receives a strange phone call from someone, informing him that he is on some sort of hidden camera show and that he must compete 13 different tasks, where each task would earn him money that would amount up to a few million dollars. After he is fired from his job for not having the jerk-like insurance salesman attitude, his life seems to take a turn for the worse. He's soft spoken, kind, and always wants to avoid conflict and confrontation. Luckily his fiancee Shelby (Rutina Wesley from ' True Blood'), loves him unconditionally and is having his baby. '13 Sins' focuses on a young man named Elliot Brindle (Mark Webber from ' Scott Pilgrim'), who is an insurance salesman who is finding it difficult to stay afloat money-wise, as he had a lot of debt to pay off.
I don't think this horror/thriller will change the game anytime soon, but it sure is one great addition to the genre.
'13 Sins' could be compared to ' Saw', ' The Game', and ' The Brass Teapot', all of which are great films to resemble. So for this film to not get a release in theaters after the success of 'The Last Exorcism' is beyond me, but I'm sure this will find a nice cult following on home-video, or at least it deserves to. This remake of the 2006 Thai thriller that was titled '13 Beloved' is quite entertaining and I'm surprised that this didn't receive a wider release than it did in theaters, considering its solid premise and great cast of actors.Īnd let me also mention that the director of '13 Sins' is Daniel Stamm, who directed 2010's blockbuster horror film ' The Last Exorcism'. But with '13 Sins', that is not the case. Whether it's due to a poor script or bad acting, or just a general sense of the story being mundane. Sometimes when you watch a movie that you've never seen or heard of before, the result is less than pleasing.
