Woodyanders Angry, unhinged, and unhappily married young Lilith (ably played with fierce and frightening intensity by Misty Mundae) desperately wants to have a baby. After her feckless husband Jim (a solid performance by Ronnie Kerr) fails to impregnate her, Lilth decides to steal the baby of her sweet and single pregnant neighbor Aisha (a fine and appealing portrayal by Erika Smith) by befriending her and waiting for the right time to take action. Writer/director Tony Marsiglia relates the morbidly absorbing story at a gradual pace, presents several genuinely icky and disturbing gory visuals, and does a bang-up job of creating and sustaining a creepy, unsettling, and uncomfortable atmosphere that becomes more increasingly uneasy and upsetting as the narrative unfolds towards a genuinely shocking downbeat ending. Mundae excels as the deeply troubled and deranged main character; her steady descent into madness and despair is sad, startling, and downright painful to behold. Moreover, the strong chemistry between Mundae and Smith keeps the picture humming throughout; they receive sturdy support from Kerr, Nikos Psarras as Aisha's suave boyfriend Sam, Deena-Wolfe Guerin as Lilith's fantasy daughter Daisy, John Castine as Lilith's slimy abusive stepfather, and Joe Gualiuzza as a friendly gynecologist. Dang Lenawae's sharp cinematography gives the movie an impressively spooky and stylish look. Nick Vasallo's elegantly brooding score likewise does the spine-tingling trick. A really offbeat and interesting film.
kah_c This film really caught me by surprise. I guess I was expecting a cheesy horror flick from the looks of the DVD packaging. It's actually a very artful and compelling at times film. I have to give credit Nick Vasallo's music composition. Superb! Misty Mundane (Lilith) and Erica Smith's (iesha) performances were better than I could have ever expected. The material they had to work with is extremely demanding, and they pulled it off flawlessly! I respect Tony Marsiglia's overall vision for this film! He obviously has a very creative mind! I do have to say; however, that the imagery can be disturbing at times. Also, I didn't care for the performance by the actress that played Lilith's mother in the film. The overall look of the film was gorgeous though. The cinematography was breathtaking. There were quite a few continuity blips though. But nothing to REALLY take away from the story. I don't know if our society is quite ready for a film like this. I'm sure many people would find it disturbing or flat out bad, but I thought it was amusing and beautifully done.
SilentOne92 Sinful stars Erin Brown (Misty Mundae) as Lilith an emotionally disturbed young women who is desperately trying to have a baby. When she fails to conceive a child on her own, she starts to look at taking a child from another woman. Lilith sets her sights on her next door neighbor who she becomes obsessed and jealous of. This leads to a decision she makes with frightening results.Erin does an OK job playing the a deeply disturbed woman. The acting in the film with the exception of Mundae is average. The film attempts to portray a somewhat creepy atmosphere with some queasy special effects with mixed results. The dialogue is a little below average and the story line does not flow (a series of single scenes).The film shows the progression of films coming from the EI Cinema / Seduction Cinema brand. They started with underground fetish styles films, then very funny erotic parodies of mainstream film and now have started releasing low budget erotic psychological horror/thillers. This film is for fans of Erin Brown/Misty Mundae and those of low budget horror films.
Darth-Shadow I have to say my expectations were dashed badly with this film upon seeing it. Now while I always get a sly sense of entertainment from any Misty Mundae film, I have to admit that I held higher hopes for this movie having read reviews in magazines and seeing that it won two indy awards from a NJ film festival.I ran to the store and bought this film when it came out as it was touted as a more serious role for Mundae and while I find her films goofy and campy, I would love to see her break out into mainstream a little more. Well, while I hold hopes for this to happen someday, it won't happen with this particular director sadly.The story had potential, but there are entire sequences that beg the question: Is this *all* in her head or is she flipping between reality and fantasy? A good director could have you wondering right to the end, and with the right vehicle and inferences could even make you ponder it afterwards, but with this film, it just leaves you confused (at least that was how I felt as well as a number of friends that watched it with me).If you are into the trippy pseudo-reality genre, this might be the movie for you, for me, I just sat watching the end (won't ruin it for anyone) and scratching my head thinking: Did the end get clipped on the editing room floor? To me, this director seems to assume that everyone will just 'get it', and I can speak for the 6 people that watched it with me, we didn't get it. At all.Personally as a fan of Misty Mundae I'll keep it in my collection (I actually like the cover more than the film), but it won't be one I'll watch very often I'm sad to say.
