Inspiration is an interesting thing, it comes in many differet forms, shapes and sizes. And today, I just found out that I have inspired a 39 year-old man whom I've never met and lives on the other side of the country. My only being eighteen am amazed that my inacurate knowledge of the world could have inspired a man that is decades older then I. Needless to say, I feel rather accomplished. I made a difference in someones life, and to me that is inspiring in itself.

Bad Movies, And Even Worse Acting
Wages Of Sin, If you ever seen this movie on the wracks of any of your local Wal*Marts, Drugmarts or even movie rental stores, I suggest strongly that you walk in the other direction. Strongly Suggest meaning, don't even give it a second glance, it's really not worth your time. Really.
I'm sure as you can see from the title, it is very strongly christian, not that I have nothing wrong with that, but they kind of bastardized and butchered the entire religion...More then every day christians have by themselves.
Anyway, I will cut to the chase, the box says exactly this, 'When a beautiful college graduate inherits an abandoned house in the coutryside, (You can see how this could have potential to being a good story) she and her friends go there for a weekend getaway, only to discover that the evil presence og a twisted preacher still lingers there--and it doesn't want them to leave.' And you can see how it really craps out right near the end. Thank you box, you've done you're part. Now, while the backing may interest you, don't worry, the back is always interesting, it is always the back of the boxes job to make it more compelling for you to buy or rent. It's just how it works.
Now, we delve a little deeper into the story, and I really have no problem ruining this for many of you potential watchers, becuase really it's not worth it. So the begining, starts with the main character, Sue and her three friends...In the middle of nowhere, Not kidding, it is litterally NOWHERE! But wait, they're in a car! in the middle of the feild, so you can only assume that they where drunk.(Don't always assume things) A crazy man holding a bible knocks on the window and laughs manically, waking up...Only Sue. Assuming this is a dream she gets out of the car in a dazed and hurried state of confusion. After several long minutes of staring off into the nothing-ness, and trying to make out a blurred figure on the horizon, she finally taps on the window to wake up her two friends. Her two friends simply assume that is only their thrid friend. After much beckoning and calling, their friend comes up from behind them. Supposedly masterbating god only knows where.
Now that they've found their friend and the figure on the horizan has disappeared Sue freaks and they all pile in the car, after several miles of driving they pull up to a gas station. And it's pretty much boring from then on in, until, they finally arive at Sue's abandoned inheritance, and she sees a little girl on a swing covered in blood, that no one else can see, now keep in mind that Sue is taking perscribed medication, and Tyler has been smoking several joints.
Anyway, when they finally arrive, the car hasn't even stopped and Sue is clambering to get out of the car to vomit, though of course the grass is too tall you can't see much of anything. They enter the house, they bitch, they whine, they fall asleep and wake up to night fall. Or maybe we where just supposed to assume they fell asleep, becuase night fall is creepier, right? Sure, let's go with that assumption.
When they wake up, there's some more talking...some more delusions from Sue, some screaming, and all of it is really benign and pointless, except of course the part where Sue's boyfriend proposes to her....In his car of all places. But let's just assume it's to build character. Tyler smokes a few more joints, they find the freezer, with...Fressh meat? But of course they decide to eat this meat, what could possibly go wrong? Well, Tyler could fall down the stairs and cut himself trying to get the wood stove working. Personally, I'm amazed lightbulbs work in this house.
As Tyler works on getting diner ready, There's more unneeded and unactionless talking, not to mention bad filming and long pauses on inanimate objects. Anyway, just as they sit to eat diner, Sue runs off to the sound of a crying child. Upstairs she goes, following the same girl she'd seen before. The girl pulls back the wall paper of the upstairs room with her finger to her lips. Rob rushes in after her to make sure she's alright. Sue assures him she's alright, and rushes off down stairs...To where Tyler and her girlfrien, Jane have set up a Ojia board, hang crafted of course. Sue explains that she couldn't possibly fuck with the Oija board beucase she did when she was a child, and that's when her nightmares started, hence the medication, though preveously she stated that the medication was causing her nightmares. Bad writting? Maybe. Jane rushes off and Rob goes to have yet another beer, Tyler and Jane stay to smoke a little more pot and dick around with the Oija board.
Now as Sue sleeps upstairs, Jane and Tyler actually manage to talk to a spirit...supposedly. As they watch the glass slide around, upstairs Sue started to smoker. As they progress the spirit is replaced with a much more melevalant spirit and Sue starts to rise off the bed, and of course have a few more nightmares. See, this to me is when the movie starts to pass the lines of utter rediculousness, the only time levitaion is acceptable in anything paranormally related is in Bugs Bunny.
Sue wakes up, the doors are locked, she's freaking out and having a spazz. Rob rushes upstairs hearing her screams, even though he was outside, while Jane and Tyler seemingly heard nothing...Even though they where just a floor below her. (I don't even have a witty comment for that one) When Rob finally gets into the room, he exclaims that the door wasn't locked to a Sue hows is huddled in the corner and rocking back and forth. As she cuddles in his safe warm...oddly greasey arms she explains that she wanted to marry him, and that she just found out she's pregnant. What a plot twist! Only not really.
I'm just going to go ahead and skip through to the last bits.
Tyler gets possesed, the wound he aqquired by falling down the stairs is now some sort of bekoning to ghosts, his possesion really looks like an emo kidd attacked him with eyeshadow.
He chases Sue and Jane upstairs, then goes to pass out on the couch. Deciding they've had enough they make Rob pack Tyler into the car and drive home, RIGHT THIS SECOND. After three times around in the drive way, they realise they are officaly screwed and are in no way going to escape. After the thrid roudabout they nearly hit an old man, the same old man that has been appearing in Sue's dreams the whole time, only now everyone else can see him. Huh, guess it wasn't the medication after all, sorry Sue.
They go back in the house for some reason, some shit goes down Jane is now possesed. Sue realises that the old dude with the bible was her grandfather. And that he was such a harsh christian that he killed her mother and her twin sister. Yes Sue had a twin sister. He killed them both and ate their flesh, she somehow managed to escape. In yet another dream her sister tells her to go to the attack and descrate the bones of her grandfather.
Obidently she rushes into the house, finding her grandfather standing brudingly over the freezer and Tyler sitting in a chair with a sledge hammer over his lap. She runs into the kitchen like the scared slut she is and grabs a kitchen knife, what she thinks that will do, I don't know.
She runs into a room...Not the attack just a room in hopes that the door will protect her, even though the attack is just as accesable from the kitchen as the room she now is in. Tyler with the SLEDGE HAMMER breaks down the door, and she simply knicks him with the knife, making him run off like a baby. (As a side note, this makes me really not want to ever own a sledge hammer)
Then, she runs off upstairs, when she finally reaches the hatch, she takes the time to lock it, very carefully. I can only shake my head and wonder that could possibly do. Just as soon as that thought pops in my head Possesed Jane pops up trying to get in. Sue simply watches and Jane gives up. Breathing a sigh of releif she grabs her kitchen and walks to the TWENTY YEAR OLD remains of her grandfather. Whom is pinned much like the way Jesus was pinned to the cross. I can't help but wonder how he managed to nail BOTH his own hands into the board unless he was murdered. Which is very unlikely.
As Sue approaches the remains TYLER COMES OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THE SLEDGE HAMMER, but oh wait, the hatch is still very much locked, becuase look! There's Rob, breaking into the locked hatch to save her pathetic life. Rob, with a broken foot and various other wounds stabs Tyler in the back with an axe. Awesome you just killed you friend, way to go. Sue grabs the sledge hammer and knocks off the head of the remains. I really don't know what she thought that would do. I really don't. But appearntly that did the trick, and all is right with the world. Her and her battle wary boyfriend leave the attic...Where the hell Jane went I don't know. Just as they leave the house, Rob calls out to her, and he gets sucked back into the house, obviously red paint splashes the door in the classic macabre horror style.
This movie was most definatly LOW BUDGET. But hey, Dee Snider managed to make a horror movie, with barely any money put into it, and it was acutally watchable. But that's okay.
OH AND GUESS HOW IT ENDS! How it really ends, beucase it didn't end with Rob dieing! Sue in an obviously low budget hospital room(which is made up of bed sheets by the way), she's appearnlty been in for EIGHT MONTHS!beucase she's been in a coma,(all good movies need an eight month coma) and she wakes up JUST IN TIME TO GIVE BRITH! As if that isn't bad enough guess who her doctor is?! HER GRANDFATHER, THE SAME GRANDFATHERS WHOM REMAINS SHE DESECRATED! Yeah, guess sledge hammers don't work that well after all do they? No didn't think so Sue, maybe next time you should use some salt and a little gasoline. I hear that works pretty well.
Either way, I still strongly suggest you never watch this movie. It was a complete waste of time.
I'm sure as you can see from the title, it is very strongly christian, not that I have nothing wrong with that, but they kind of bastardized and butchered the entire religion...More then every day christians have by themselves.
