cinemarays usually i do not bother to write reviews but i am writing this since its is astonishing that this movie has such a low rating. it definitely deserves at least a 7 on an average. PLEASE Don't GO FOR THE LOW RAITNGS. IT IS A MUCH MUCH BETTER MOVIE! i cant call it is the best movie i have ever seen but these low ratings are terribly misleading. i wonder how come this movie has such a low rating! it is a well made movie and if you like horror movies u are likely to enjoy it. i am damn sure that it deserves a better rating.it is not boring for even a moment.the story goes so fast and sustains your curiosity every scene. give it a try, and the low ratings are misleading.its not as bad as you might think. it is a very enjoyable movie. it appears to be a very different type of story.it does not have the pomp of a big budget movie. day before yesterday i watched it in wb movies and unfortunately missed the last 3 mins or so. waiting for a re telecast so that i can catch it.

Ky-D Judged against the majority of Clive Barker adaptations, this one ranks as one of the better; not as good as 'Lord of Illusions', 'Hellraiser', or 'Midnight Meat Train', but far more enjoyable than the dismal Candyman/Hellraiser sequels, about on par with 'Night Breed', 'Book of Blood', or the original 'Candyman'.In 1815, a curious monk accidentally unleashes a pair of lethally seductive succubi, who swiftly kill his brother and then flee through time. Wishing to atone for his sins, the monk follows the pair to the 20th century where he must slaw them with a magical dagger. He is arrested after arriving too late to one of their murder scenes and is forced to try to convince a female cop with no religion to believe him.Produced for the SciFi channel (or now SyFy, how dorky), the movie has some of the problems connected with made for TV flicks; that is a few tacky sets, less-than-stunning visual effects, and some cheesy lines of dialogue.On the plus side, the film has an excellent color pallet and a good sense of mood lighting. The lead protagonists (the monk and the cop) are a likable pair of heroes and the succubi sisters manage to be both desirable and repulsive in just about equal proportions.As mentioned, this was intended for cable broadcast, so the movie has to conform to TV standards of content; meaning no nudity or graphic violence. That being said, the film is surprisingly sticky (even without excess blood, there are a couple noteworthy gross-out scenes) and there is a fair amount of sexual content. On a side not, the DVD has a couple of unrated scenes in the special features which contain some nudity for those that absolutely can't do without it.Imperfect, yet still satisfying; worth a look.7/10

slayrrr666 "Saint Sinner" is decent enough but not altogether spectacular.**SPOILERS**Uncovering a strange amulet, Tomas Alcala, (Greg Serano) learns from Father Michael, (William B. Davis) that the amulet was supposed to keep Munkar, (Mary Mara) and Nakir, (Rebecca Harrell) sister succubi from exiting their dimensional trap. Released into our world, he is sent out to stop them from unleashing their fury and destruction on mankind. Reluctantly accepting, the job, he sets out to the city to find that they have been on a giant rampage leaving bodies everywhere they go that eventually catches up to him. When Det. Rachel Dressler, (Gina Ravera) is assigned to the case, it takes them awhile to believe that the actions he's saying are happening until an unexplainable encounter forces her to consider the story. Finally on the same side, they decide to track them down before more fall to their fury.The Good News: This here wasn't that bad and had some halfway decent moments in it. The main part of this one is that there's a whole lot of great special effects work in the film. This is due to the manner in which the deaths are accomplished, sucking out the life-force physically from the subject. To accomplish this, a small tube is dug into the back of the neck from which it's sucked out, while the victim is also seen to be completely covered in a strange goo from everywhere on the body, and these are greatly realized with some rather brutal scenes showing the fluid being drained through these devices. The manner of killing, by slicing open the neck to apply the tube also means that there's a large amount of blood to be seen, and a couple of non-fatal encounters also produce a fair amount of bloodshed to the mix. The film also has a rather incredibly disgusting birthing sequence where a pregnant stomach is seen with some form of creature scratching and clawing from behind it, with a large tentacle erupting forth and soon after a hideous millipede-like creature is seen to be coming out, later to turn on the mother in a fantastic scene. Mixed along side this with some nice brawling, a couple of decent action-packed encounters and a fun, exciting finale that has a large amount of life and entertainment, this one here has some really good points to it.The Bad News: This one here wasn't terrible, but there was a few flaws to it. One of the big ones is that there's very little in here that go explained. The whole story starts with his letting them go, and in a sign of God, chosen to stop them, which really doesn't make sense as a colossal mistake of that kind doesn't really earn the kind of reward given to it. There's also the series about how the creatures haven't had trouble adapting to the new generation in the present time. It certainly should've come up, how that makes for fun times is missing as here, there's no scenes involving either of the time travelers having any trouble adapting to the changes between the times when they're really should've been. The film also fails to mention how the source of the demons power is achieved through their killing method. It's shown to be a form of hose coming out of the back of the neck, but whether or not it's a device planted on the back from the creatures or just the spinal cord ripped out. That others would find the deathly pale glow of their skin as attractive is yet another one, and these here are some of the minutiae flaws found. The film also has areas that aren't all there, especially the slow later half where the cops take over and the back-story is given. This is slow, meandering and doesn't really have a lot to offer in terms of entertainment, and combined with the other flaws, are what's really wrong with the film.The Final Verdict: With a few good and bad moments, this one here manages to stay watchable through the bad even though it is flawed. Give this one a chance if you're into the creative side of the film or find the topic or the film in general interesting, otherwise there isn't enough for others to get into it.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language, Nudity and a clothed sex scene

Tashiro I've collected most (if not all) the original Saint Sinner comics from when Marvel Comics released them as part of Clive Barker's 'Razorline' collection. The original comics is about a boy in the modern age who unwittingly gets possessed by a demon, and then an angel, having both torment him and try to guide him. He becomes a self-made Saint, 'I come to you, you are my court of last resort', whose miracles always have a positive and a negative side, whether he wishes them to or not. Creative, amazing, and would have made an excellent television series.This movie is not that series. It has nothing to do with this series. The only thing that this movie has to do with the original Saint Sinner is the title, and that Clive Barker wrote the screenplay.The movie is about a monk coming from the past to the present, to hunt down two succubi he happened to unleash upon the world. The succubi are over-the-top, and grotesque. The monk is unbelievable (though passable). The plot is horrible, jerky, and makes absolutely no sense. There is a 'clock' fade between scenes, saying what time it is, but not explaining why this is important to the flow of the movie. Characters do the stupidest things, and honestly, the ending was not satisfactory in the slightest.Do not rent this movie. Do not watch this movie. Go, read the comics, and think wistfully about what may have been.
