Curse of the Sin Eater

I was taken totally by surprise by this movie, it was excellent! The casting was perfect with the lead actor giving a gritty and realistic portrayal of a young guy having an extremely difficult time with his life!

Shrimp's appearance and demeanor are disturbing, but totally realistic in showing the poverty and desperation of a working class kid on Chicago's rough South Side. I am very impressed with his performance and just about every member of the cast as well - they evoked genuine emotion on my part.

The story line is based on an old Indian practice, but with a very surprising twist - the sin eater ALWAYS was headed for punishment, but after death. With this film the punishment starts on day one and includes an accumulation of sins from past sin eaters!

Excellent plot, execution of that plot with fine acting in all quarters! This was a surprise delight of a movie!

Congrats to all people connected with its production!!!!
