El devorador de pecados es una oscuridad cinematográficamente sólida para un grupo muy limitado de público (oscuro). Similar en trama a Stigmata, pero menos centrada en la forma y más en el contenido. Una película con mínimas posibilidades de éxito comercial. ()
For fans of mainstream entertainment, it is slightly unsophisticated and lacking artistic ambition. For fans of B-movies, on the other hand, it is unattractive and essentially boring with a bizarre storyline. However, Brian Helgeland tried to handle the problematic script as best as possible, and I wouldn't deny the film its atmosphere. Overall impression: 35%. ()
This was stupid. I wonder what horrible thing happened to Brian Helgeland to write (this in particular) and direct something as stupid as this "combination" (meaning an irrational mishmash that doesn't know what it is) of all possible film genres. Content-wise, from my point of view, it was about absolutely nothing, it didn't even look that great, and there were so many unintentionally funny moments that I lost track of them. Get this out of here. This movie would make a glutton choke on it. ()
It was as if the film was trying to say something, but I didn't end up finding out what it was. I was glad to see Heath in another film that I hadn't seen yet, but this wasn't a movie that I'll remember him for. A bit of horror, a bit of exorcism, a bit of critique of the church, but overall just nothing memorable. ()
