The overall effect is enormously amusing. And haunting as well.

| Apr 24, 2014

An unrepentant horror-thriller, stoked with tension and grim revelations.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 18, 2014

Darkly funny and deeply twisted, "13 Sins" grabs you from its startling opening sequence and doesn't let go.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 18, 2014

13 Sins is a smart, stylish picture elevated by fine performances by Webber and a superior ensemble of supporting players, including Richard Bower, Ron Perlman, and Pruitt Taylor Vince.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 18, 2014

An empty, efficient thriller that leaves you as cold as most of its characters.

| Apr 17, 2014

Never satisfyingly accounts for how the unseen puppeteer manages to keep a constant eye on Elliot's every move.

| Apr 17, 2014

The "Saw" formula of a mysterious voice guiding our hero through a series of depravities has gone a bit stale.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 17, 2014

13 Sins tries to demonstrate the potential everyone has to fall down a slippery moral slope, but the missions get so ridiculous and gruesome [...] that it's hard to take the film seriously, even on its heightened terms.

| Original Score: 2.0/5 | Apr 17, 2014

Stamm brings such a deft touch to these tonal transitions that it's hard to believe he directed the dreadful 2010 hit The Last Exorcism.

| Apr 16, 2014

Daniel Stamm's film is solidly helmed, if expectedly over-reliant on unnecessarily grisly comeuppances that leave nothing to the imagination.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 13, 2014

The logic behind the whole operation isn't entirely sound, but Webber's performance is so engaging and Stamm has such a firm handle on every other element of this production that those flimsy narrative elements rarely pulls you out of the experience.

It will easily delight genre fans, but its ability to maintain a moral center and its complex character development will speak to mainstream viewers, too.

| Mar 19, 2014

There's a reason these Faustian tales keep sprouting up in our pop culture. We're fascinated by how we would respond in the same nightmarish situation. And Daniel Stamm is fascinated by us.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2014

A creepy little diversion that ultimately unravels long before its hero's fragile psyche does.
