Sue has just
inherited a house on the country from
her biological mother and has decided to bring three
friends with her to check it out. It doesn't take
long before they realize that the house is going to
be a tough sell as it's haunted by evil spirits. The
spirits soon start to take over the friends' bodies
and Sue has to figure out a way to stop them before
it's too late...
There are two types of horror movies; there are the
ones that you immediately put into your DVD player the
moment you get them, and there are the ones that
collect dust for a while before you're finally bored
enough to check them out. Wages Of Sin falls into the
second category. Unfortunately, I was right to leave
it standing in the shelf for a while as Wages Of Sin
is a cheap horror movie with a tedious plot. I'm
actually still bored even though I've finished watching
it - in fact, I'm pretty sure that whenever I look
back and think about this movie (if I ever will),
I'll probably get bored again.
Yep, boredom sure seems to be the right word to sum
this movie up with. The silly plot revolves around
four teenagers, which of one has just inherited a big
house on the country. Hoping that it'll be a nice
place to party, they've brought booze and pot to
entertain themselves with (yawn). One night they
decide to do a séance (oh come on! Not another one)
which leads to the possession of one of the teens.
Apparently, the spirit of Sue's evil grandfather
wants to see everyone in the house dead... err, yeah.
Wages Of Sin is obviously a no-budget effort... hmm,
I'm not sure effort is a suitable word to use in this
review... anyhoo. Everything about the movie feels
quite incompetent. We have some questionable editing,
plot twists that don't make much sense, horrible
sound mixing (you'll either hear nothing, or way too
much) and terrible acting. These kind of movies only
get released because of DVD, and I hate DVD because
of that. 15 years ago this would never have gone
further than to the families and friends of those
involved in the making of it.
A more suitable title for this movie would have been
"Throw in the Bin" and with those words I will
conclude this very negative review. If you feel
like watching a no-budget haunted house movie with
séances, evil spirits, possessions and skeletons,
be my guest, but don't tell me that I didn't warn you.
Not a lot.
It's rubbish, what more can I say?
If I were nice I'd say that this movie has room for
improvement, but I'm not so I'm going to tell it as
it is; this sucked! Big time! This was an incompetent
and incoherent mess which felt more like a bad joke
than a horror movie. I think I deserve a reward for
being able to stay awake through this tedious movie,
so if anyone feels like giving me 5K, I think that
I deserve it!
