More like 3.5 stars
This is a movie that you can't stop in the middle and do something else. I made that mistake and it lost its whole spell on me. Having said that it's a pretty OK movie where evil and Catholicism are concerned. Heath Ledger's character is a priest whose mentor has died. Not that's a problem...

Too dark for me....
I've been trying too see all of Heath Ledger's work since his death...and he is great, as always...but the film itself just wasn't. I think it was the subject matter ( what is a sin eater?). I think one of the main reasons Heath did this film was because he had already worked with the director...

Great DVD, Lousy movie.
As far as the DVD goes, it's fine. The movie, however, was disappointing. Something about a "death eater." Totally bizarre and ridiculous.

Sin eater
The movie is at times a little hard to follow so if your dealing with little ones (like me) you may need to rewind a time or two. Otherwise I enjoyed the story, some really dark parts though so, I wouldn't let anyone under say 13 or so watch. But the whole story of the "sin eater" was a new one...

Disturbing, Dark, and depressing...yet unique, intense, and Supernatural.
I first saw this at a theater, and walked out thinking, "WTF?!" The movie was even more intense on the big screen. Yet I eventually bought the film, and I've watched it on DVD a few times.Despite the dreary, dark, and depressing aspects of the movie, I like the premise of the film. I also very...

The Border
Boring? Yes. What was this movie? Was it a drama or a superhero flick? Heath Ledger, again, does an amazing job in his role. He got the most out of it that he could. The movie suffers from being very wordy and scattered. It never gets to be the scary movie that it should be because of all this...

How does someone become a 'death eater?'
I have seen different versions on this subject. However, the people in this movie become beautifully entangled with each other as the movie progresses and as the plot thickens. It is a suspenseful thriller within aesthetic surroundings that seem to pull you into the movie. However, I felt a...

Ok pastime
This movie could have been a lot better. It had potential but that was not used. I must admit, ten years ago i would have loved this movie.

Yet another sacrilegious thriller full of nonsense and error
[...]I had not seen it before today, when it was broadcast on television. Its theological confusion was evident from the first 2 minutes of watching. A sin eater? Hmmm... The main character says, "I now hold the keys to heaven." Uhmmm... Priests already hold the keys to heaven... duh! Jesus...

A wonderfully creepy film about European mythology
Alex Bernier (Ledger) is a conservative priest, wise beyond his young years, struggling against the modernity of the Catholic Church, and a member of an archaic and declining fringe of the mainstream church. He is a troubled young man, having had relations with a female, whom he still loves, but...
