31 Day Horror Movie Challenge - Movie #2 -13 Sins

Elliott is a down and out guy, he is up to his neck in debt, his father's a racist, he just lost his job, he cares for his mentally handicapped brother and his fiance is pregnant. He is at his wits end with no way out. But, when he gets a mysterious phone call from a stranger asking him to participate in a game, Elliott thinks his luck might be changing. The premise of the game is that Elliott will be forced to complete 13 challenges, if he fails any challenge or informs anyone of this game he will lose the prize winning money, but if he completes all challenges then he will receive a very large sum of money that could end a lot of his troubles....but is it all worth it? I heard pretty good things about this movie so I had high hopes for it and thankfully it didn't disappoint. Granted the premise of a person being forced to their brink by competing hellish acts is nothing new, but this took it in a fresh new direction. The movie started bold and continued on with a fast and steady pace, without any unnecessary scenes to weigh it down. The acting was solid and the script provided some great twist and turns throughout the film. Ron Pearlman turns in a great performance as a detective and Rutina Wesley from True Blood is solid throughout as Elliott's fiance. Overall it was great film that kept my attention throughout and it is well worth a view.

This film is available on Netflix
