Amazon.com: 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
A beautiful enchanting tale about faith and trust The last sin eater is a story about faith, hardship, love, and greed. The main character is a little girl living in a small Appalachian cove that has endured the tragic loss of a kid sister whom she blames herself for her death. She has one true friend, a boy named Fagan, whose father is a sinful avaricious tyrant. Together, with the hand of God, they set out to make the terrible sins of the cove village people right. Don't want to give away to much... but it is a beautiful story that is suitable for all ages. This movie has not had much publicity, which saddens me deeply, for it is a magnificent captivating tale. The actors and the movie itself deserve much more. It is disappointing that we live in a time where movies like 8 mile and Jason receive Hollywood's attention. Perhaps that is why children like the sweet innocent kids portrayed in this movie no longer exist.
A wonderful movie I really enjoyed this movie. Even more surprisingly my husband enjoyed it also. We do not have small children at home but I'm sure any child over 10 would have understood the limited violence in the movie. It's dark moments were spooky not scary. This is definitely a movie based on Christianity and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a Christian. The only thing I have to say poorly about it is that the accents were horrible. They were supposed to be Welsh but sounded like bad Irish accents. In fact the accents were so bad that the only actor who was Welsh sounded like he was speaking a different language than the others.
Not as good as the book. This movie was just okay and a bit to voodoo to me. I much prefered the book. Francine Rivers is one of my very favorites. Read the book it is really good. If you plan to do both watch the DVD first then you won't be so disappointed. This I find often to be the case. Books are usually better because it is almost impossible to match the wonderful human minds ability to create the details.
I LOVE IT!!!! Shows that God is a "sin-eater" This movie is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome!!!!! I would recommend this movie because it mentions God. I don't understand why it is rated PG-13, but i suppose it's for death and thrilling parts. Also, one thing that amazed me was that when i saw who was the director he was the son of Michael Landon who was Charles Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie ( by the way I LOVE that show!!!!). Please buy this show it is soooo amazing. It is just so moving for someone who is sensitive. PLEASE BUY THIS SHOW YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You won't regret buying this!!!!
Sin Eater = good movie this is an unusual movie, and some parts may be scary for Young children, but it is a good, clean movie. my family liked it.
