You will likely join me in finding the premise of the subversive game show cum horror thriller “13 Sins†to be patently preposterous. But it’s a movie, man. So I let myself go with the freaky flow. And I was reasonably rewarded with a solidly acted (more Ron Perlman), consistently engrossing (emphasis on gross) story of a guy who finds he’ll do anything for a buck. Well, damn near, anyway.
The final scene of “13 Sins†follows a particularly heinous “ultimate challengeâ€. The moment didn’t retread the route that most flicks of this ilk choose to go down. An unexpected upbeat conclusion delivers a welcome surprise, capping off a brutally bumpy ride.
