13 Sins is the latest in a long line of unsettling films that prove there are very few things people are not willing to do in exchange for money.Making ends meet in 2014 is difficult for everyone I know, and that goes double (or even triple) for those with children. Bringing a child into this messed up world is extremely expensive, and no matter how hard you fight to get ahead for your family there are bound to be times when things simply do not go your way. Elliot, the character at the center of 13 Sins, has had enough bad days to last a lifetime.

 

One day, following his unexpected dismissal from work just hours after celebrating the possibility of a promotion with his lover and young child, Elliot receives a mysterious phone call offering him a few hundred dollars to kill the fly floating around his car. Elliot is not sure how anyone can see him, let alone the fly, but he swats the creature anyway and shortly thereafter receives a text confirming the deposit of the promised cash into his bank account. Could he win more? Of course. But the stakes only go up from here.

 

After committing to performing 13 tasks or risk receiving nothing at all, Elliot is taken on a journey through the trenches of sin and vulgarity that quickly turns from relatively innocent fun into full-blown criminal conduct, not to mention the presence of a quickly rising body count. He is in far too deep and he knows it, but if he tries to quit he will have to face the penalties for everything he has done (not to mention walk away empty handed).

 

There are countless movies that use money as a means to make otherwise normal people commit heinous acts, but 13 Sins has a brand of sinister hidden under its familiar setup that is entirely its own. I have to reason that is due in part to filmmaker Daniel Stamm’s history in horror, but just to be clear this is far from a horror film – at least not in the traditional sense. It’s more of a horrifying thriller that dares to look at just how far one will go not just to save their family, but ultimately to save their own skin.

 

Where 13 Sins falters is in its attempt to create a ‘whodunnit’ sub-plot around the source of the game. There is no doubt some intriguing ideas to be explored around a game that seemingly random people are asked to be involved in while being surveyed 24/7, but the way Stamm and his three co-writers handle that exploration onscreen feels far less thought out than the challenges presented to Elliot. This results in a less than fulfilling third act ‘reveal,’ but the main story still manages to finish strong.

 

For all of its missteps and over-the-top moments of grisly violence, 13 Sins tells a story worth being shared. Elliot is as close to ‘Joe Everyman’ as protagonists come these days, and even when his challenges place him in somewhat unrealistic situations you cannot help relating to his struggle and envisioning how you would react if put in a similar position. The ability to forge that kind of connection with viewers is largely thanks to the acting of Mark Webber, who has deserved a shot as a leading man for some time. He carries 13 Sins, and it’s because of his convincing portrayal of a man who feels cornered by life that the film succeeds at all.

 

VOD has allowed the horror and thriller genres to thrive even when theatrical distribution has grown increasingly out of reach for independent filmmakers, and it’s because of films like 13 Sins being available on demand that many are beginning to say we are entering a ‘new golden age’ of terror onscreen. This is not where I thought Daniel Stamm would venture creatively, but having seen what he has accomplished I am more excited than ever before to see what he comes up with next.
