13 SINS (Horror - Thriller 2014)

You get a cryptic phone call that tells you about a set of tasks, each task more dangerous than the other. And with each task you complete you find that it has a financial reward attached to it. However, the farther you go and the more the amount grows, so does the danger level. What do you do? What do you do?


Elliot (Mark Webber) is a down-on-his-lick salesman and is deeply in debt. And whop has just been fired from his job. On top of that Elliot is about to marry the love of his life. While sitting at a stop light one night Elliot gets a cryptic phone call telling him that he is now part of a hidden camera game show with a prize that totals 6 million bucks. All he has to do complete 13 tasks by the end of the night. At first Elliot blow off the call, thinking  that one of his friends are messing with him until the caller tells Elliot to kill the fly in the car that is buzzing around, then eat. Calling the caller's bluff Elliot does just that. And when he finds that a thousand dollars has been placed in his account, Elliot allows himself to be drawn into a deadly game where the dangers escalate with each new request. However so does the pay off.





"13 Sins" is the latest in a long line of films that have been dealing with people's resolve on the financial crisis most of the country finds themselves in. (2012's "Would You Rather" "The House on Haunted Hill" remake & "Indecent Proposal" all come to mind) However, with Hollywood, no all of them are good and when something seems to work they like to beat the idea to fucking death. Thankfully this current idea hasn't been done too many times (Although I know that this has been a genre of movies in Asia for quite sometime and should come to no surprise that Hollywood continues to steal ideas from other countries) and from the look of the trailer I'm sort of curious about how it'll be. That and it has Ron Perlman in it.

Until Next Time...
