Indican Pictures is planning to give the horror film Sin Eater, which features genre icon Bill Moseley as priest, a VOD and DVD release on March 15th. In anticipation of this release, a trailer for Sin Eater has arrived online and you can check it out in the embed above.
The feature debut for director Carmelo Chimera, Sin Eater has the following synopsis:
After suffering a terrifying injury, she finds herself alone and stranded in a remote town harboring a dark secret. As she tries to recuperate, she slowly begins to discover intense, bizarre religious phenomena occurring around her. With no one to trust and her time running out, Christine realizes that she will have to fight her inner demons as well as the actual demons who are trying to take her soul in order to make it out alive.
Chimera wrote the screenplay from a story by Nicholas Chimera and Robert O’Neal, who previously co-wrote the script for the 2019 film She Walks the Woods.
Moseley is joined in the cast by Jessie Nerud (Dawn of the Hawk), Danny Bohnen (The Corrupt Half), Scotty Bohnen (The Last Son), and Scott Moore (After Masks)… And in addition to the projects mentioned, Nerud and the Bohnens all happened to be in the cast of She Walks the Woods, which Moore executive produced. After Masks was an anthology film, and the segment Moore acted in was directed by Carmelo Chimera.
Carmelo Chimera produced Sin Eater with O’Neal, Judy Fox, and Jason Potter. Danny and Scotty Bohnen served as executive producers.
The poster for Sin Eater claims that it was inspired by true events, and sin-eating is a real thing. As Wikipedia explains, “A sin-eater is a person who consumes a ritual meal in order to spiritually take on the sins of a deceased person. The food was believed to absorb the sins of a recently dead person, thus absolving the soul of the person. Sin-eaters, as a consequence, carried the sins of all people whose sins they had eaten.” That said, any time I see “Sin Eater” it makes me think of a comic book character who appeared in two issues of Ghost Rider back in 1983.
