A series of paintings representing the seven deadly sins are up for auction. The paintings are fairly pedestrian, but Dylan and his wife decide to bid because it’s for a good cause. What cause, you ask? I have no idea. It’s at an art gallery and there’s no indication the money is going anywhere other than the owners pocket.
After the auction, Father Mandale tries to find out who bought the paintings, but art dealer Tara Reid has him removed from the premises. Mandale is worried because the artist who painted them sold his soul to the devil, and whoever gets the paintings becomes possessed by the sins.
Dylan puts the paintings up all over the house as soon as they arrive. You get a painting and you get a painting. Then everyone in the family immediately starts acting weird. Their son Louis, who brought his girlfriend Kim home from college with him, becomes so aggressive she doesn’t want to be anywhere near him.
Kim decides to go in town and stops by the art gallery to get info on the paintings. She overhears Father Mandale talking about them and follows him when he leaves. When she says she knows where they are, he tells her the paintings are dangerous. Kim slowly backs away. So she’s smart enough to figure the hanging of the paintings precipitated the odd behavior, but dumb enough to dismiss a story just as crazy as her idea the paintings have changed the family.
The most ridiculous scenes are the one where the teenage sister leaves her underwear for the cashier and he’s happy about it. Or the one where Louis attacks his girlfriend and she gets in the car to leave, he attempts to propose.
Ridiculous dialogue
A writer and a painter. A match made in poverty.
 |
| Those pesky kids and their snail shells. |
 |
| Why would anyone hang this above their bed? |
 |
| The confusing vision in the mirror of the boy she likes |
 |
| Tara is not amused. |
 |
| Mystery goo? Let’s touch it. |
 |
Well I’ll give them this. I never guessed the paintings
went together to make one big painting |
 |
| The priest playing detective |
 |
| Would a powerful man really hang that in his office? |
