  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 itself, but he's been excommunicated and cannot be buried in holy ground because of this.

• 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?).

• 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 on me. Ledger's chacter struggles to understand the theory of taking away someone's sin no matter the cost. I won't say anything more because I don't want to give away the story. Good job by Ledger as usual.
