Children of Sin

I don't know what film these other reviewers watched, but Children of Sin was mostly just boring. Jo-Ann Robinson was great, but most everyone else... was not. The first act sets up a cliche but promising premise, the second act drags on forever, the third act kinda stumbles around for a while, and the last ~5 minutes were alright.

This film isn't terrible, it doesn't cross the line into so-bad-it's-good, it's just kinda boring, which is the one thing a movie shouldn't be.

I've been a fan of Chris Moore's movies. Despite the subject matter, there's some humor to it.

Two foster kids are dropped off at Abraham House run by a sadistic religious "mother." It is the fight of their lives to escape the insanity they face.

The tone for "Sin" easily blends suspense, humor, and horror. And, Jo-Ann Robinson steals the movie as our religious "mother". Her performance rivals Woman from The People Under The Stairs.

Definitely worth checking. It is currently streaming on Tubi.

This movie is a well acted and directed indie horror. The script is terrifying, because this kind of stuff really happens. The movies pacing acting and direction is really well done for a horror movie with little to no budget. The script manages to make the viewer laugh and scream. If you like indie horror you have to check it out.

OMG that was God awful, no pun intended! I will never get that 1 hour 34 minutes back in my life ever. Don't waste your precious time also!!!!!

This review does not contain spoilers, that is impossible!

I had not heard about this 2022 horror movie titled "Children of Sin" from writer and director Christopher Wesley Moore prior to sitting down to watch it here in 2023. Thus, I didn't know what I was in for here, nor did I have any expectations.

I will say that the movie's cover had a distinct 1980s horror feel to it, and that is why I picked up the movie to begin with.

However, there was nothing 1980s about this movie. In fact, there was nothing about the movie at all, unless you consider a clumsy script, flaccid acting performances and a general boring atmosphere as to be entertainment. The character gallery in Christopher Wesley Moore's "Children of Sin" was about as interesting as watching paint drying.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Children of Sin", however I can't claim that I was particularly impressed with what I saw either, as the performances were rigid, wooden and general lacking a drive from the actors and actresses.

For a horror movie then "Children of Sin" was a swing and a miss. And it is definitely not a movie that I would suggest you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through 95 minutes of this ordeal so you don't have to.

My rating of "Children of Sin" lands on a two out of ten stars.
