I recently watched Original Sin (1989) on Tubi. The storyline follows a perfectly happy family in the suburbs until their son is kidnapped. As the husband and wife investigate the events that led to the kidnapping, secrets from the husband's past begin to surface, suggesting they may have played a role in their son's abduction.
This film is directed by Ron Satlof (Bush Doctor) and stars Ann Jillian (Babes in Toyland), Robert Desiderio (Knots Landing), Charlton Heston (The Ten Commandments), and Jason Bernard (Liar Liar).
This made-for-television drama (NBC Network) was better than I expected. The cinematography feels typical of a TV movie, but the acting and storyline exceeded my expectations. The performances feel authentic, and the storyline includes some intriguing twists and turns. The conclusion hits the mark for the premise as well.
In conclusion, Original Sin has its limitations but is better than it should be. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend it with the appropriate expectations.
