Thom Ernst Original Cin Insane righteousness has recently been portrayed in full gory glory to far better effect in director Ti West’s X. This one works best as a late-night curiosity for the insomniac too numbed by exhaustion to be critical. Rated: C-plus May 5, 2022 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X The storytelling and casting may be awkward, but the sentiment driving everything feels sincere. Rated: B- May 4, 2022 Full Review John Townsend Starburst Ultimately, Children of Sin feels more misguided than malicious. And Rated: 2/5 May 2, 2022 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Moore makes broad, obvious points about the evils of religious repression, combined with sloppy kills and a complete lack of suspense. Rated: D+ Apr 27, 2022 Full Review Rob Rector Film Threat It is told with a creative vision and a bold voice that is bound to find a loving congregation. Rated: 7.5/10 Apr 22, 2022 Full Review EJ Moreno Flickering Myth Religious horror always speaks to me, and I always applaud filmmakers with something to say. This fits right in with some great indie slashers. Apr 22, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member this was ok in a b movie way Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member After being sent to Abraham House, a sinister religious retreat, Emma (Meredith Mohler) — who is pregnant — and Jackson (Lewis Hines) — who is gay — must escape and save their mother Tammy (Keni Bounds) from their stepfather Robbie (Jeff Buchwald). Jackson wants desperately to make his mother happy, even trying in the past to get along with his abusive stepfather while Emma is always a rebel. Now under the watchful eye of Mary Esther (Jo-Ann Robinson), a religious fanatic who rules the house as she sees the Good News, Jackson agrees to pray away his homosexuality while Emma looks for a way out. Director and writer Christopher Wesley Moore also made Triggered, which I really enjoyed. This slasher has its heart in the better stalk and slice movies of the past while using the politics and religion of today to create a story that has resonance. It does a lot with not much budget, including no small amount of blood as the film moves toward its conclusion. It's so frightening because I honestly believe that it could happen. Conversion therapy is insidious and I honestly feel that every day we inch closer toward an American Taliban. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
