DVD Reviews of The Last Sin Eater
DVD Review: A Superb Christian Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful story of grace and redemption triumphing over superstition and cult like behavior.
It features a sect of Welsh immigrants living in the Applachian region in the mid 1800s. The belief of the group is that when one dies, the sin eater will come and consume his/her sins so that the person may be forgiven.
I don't want to give too much detail here to avoid spoiling the plot. Suffice it to say that it has a strong Christian message and makes it clear that Jesus Christ is the real sin eater. Highly recommended!
DVD Review: Last sin eater
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie and a good adaptation of Francine River's movie. Keeps one on the edge if they never read the book until the surprise ending. Great ending and shows that God will win and work all thing together in the end.DVD Review: Jesus Christ is the Last Sin Eater
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, I really enjoyed this movie although it does have some very traumatic moments and because of this I would not let my kids watch it. I would say 17 or older as it really does deal with a lot of "adult" issues that may be hard for children to understand. Then on the other hand maybe there are children dealing with similar issues as the little girl in this story and it may very well benefit them. That said, I thought the movie did a great job of illustrating what Christ did for us on the cross. He truly is the last sin eater - only He did it once and for all, for all who will believe. I had not known that this type of belief (religion) existed (sin eater) and found it truly interesting and ironic. It only further proves to me that everyone has a desire and need to be forgiven of their sins because that is how God created us. The "sin eater" obviously is one of the many ways that people try to handle their sins "their way". But just like in the movie, it's only God's way that truly works; nothing else!DVD Review: Profound
Summary: 5 Stars
I could not believe the depth and strength of the messages in this movie. I was brought to tears many times and all in my family were as well. GREAT!DVD Review: The Last Sin Eater
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie, although it's not a movie the nonreligious would probably like. As usual, in my opinion, Michael Landon, Jr. did a phenomenol job telling this story. I highly recommend it.
Description of The Last Sin Eater
10-year-old Cadi feels responsible for her little sister's death, so she searches out the one man she feels can take away her sin: The Sin Eater. But in her quest for redemption, Cadi uncovers a secret that threatens to divide her family and community in this heartwarming, inspirational tale for the entire family. Based on the novel by best-selling author Francine Rivers.Part of the new wave of Christian filmmaking, The Last Sin Eater appeals to a broader family audience as well--and perhaps film lovers seeking, simply, more soul in their cinema. The film, directed by Michael Landon Jr., has more than a bit of homage to Little House on the Prairie as its story unfolds through the eyes of its young heroine, Cadi, a Welsh immigrant whose family has settled deep in Appalachia, bringing superstitions and rites from the Old World and melding them with those from the new. Cadi is played by Liana Liberato with gravitas and knowingness that evokes the young Anna Paquin. Cadi's turmoil begins at the deeply disturbing nighttime funeral for her beloved Granny, when a shadowy figure creeps in and chants, "For your earthly sins, woman, I pawn my own soul!" Cadi, warned her own soul would be in peril if she looked upon the sin eater, can't help turn around and lock eyes with the wretched man. And so begins Cadi's own journey of the soul. As tragedy and evil plague the plucky settlement, Cadi is driven to understand her own life and religious choices. "Would I have to live to be Granny's age to be forgiven for my sins?" a bleakly discouraged Cadi wonders in a voiceover. The costumes are sumptuous (perhaps a bit too much so for such a hardscrabble existence in the 1850s), as is the lovely but unforgiving landscape. Cadi's journey is rewarding, yet not at all predictably so. Terrific supporting appearances by Henry Thomas and Louise Fletcher flesh out a very moving tale. Extras include some deleted scenes, and some cool behind-the-scenes footage. --A.T. Hurley
