Absolutio

Isaiah sees sin everywhere. When his mother dies, he feels called to free mankind from sin. For this all means are right. He quickly abducts sinners and forces them to confess, torturing them. He then relieves his victims when they have begged for mercy. But Isaiah's delusion are getting worse.

Directed by Philip Lilienschwarz, Absolutio leans on a strong ensemble — Caroline Betz, Eldrid Remy, Herman van Ulzen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2013.
