Fox Family Films has nothing but great films and this is another one, Great for ages 12-99. Ranks up there with the movie a Night with the King. You will not be sorry you get this one
Shows every man's need, and every man's creed without the Lord Jesus Christ. Only they should have elaborated more on Jesus as the only way to be forgiven, it came across almost as if they already knew it... or maybe thats the point...
Great move to watch, u need to have the sub titles on to grasp the complete story. Generational stuff wow.
The story was so great! Who needs a scary old Sin Eater when you have Jesus? Much of the acting left a lot to be desired, but it was cool to see little Henry Thomas from E.T....not so little anymore and a good actor!
The acting was great and it had a nice moral - Christian message. I wasn't expecting the preachiness of the movie - it came as a shock and I almost turned it off. I guess I was expecting something more along the lines of "The Order" or some pagan celtic belief/ritual movie like the original "The Wicker Man" but neither was the case. After awhile it felt like an afterschool special or a lifetime movie - but what can you expect with Michael Landon Jr as director. Good movie, well acting, directed, and shot - yes. I gave it a lower score because I felt like I was forced to endure someone cramming right-wing born-again version of Christianity down my throat. If you like that sort of thing, you'll love this movie. Oh, and the accents were sometimes hard to understand but very well done.
wonderful movie. I cried and cried and cried some more. everyone needs to see this one and find the true sin eater and their faith in god.
I'm wondering if this "Sin Eater" is the same basis for the 2003 movie "The Order" with Heath Ledger...if it is anything similar I would be more than willing to see this one.
