Brimstone (2016)
Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you a thriller film: "Brimstone"!
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care! The film starts with its first chapter, titled
Revelation. In a small hut, a woman is giving birth with the assistance of Liz and her daughter,
Sam; the woman's husband then gives his thanks for their help. While returning to their carriage,
Liz looks at the distance, but immediately regains her attention when Sam calls her.
In their house, Liz and Sam are hanging clothes outside when she sees Elie, her husband, teaching
their son how to shoot. Liz angrily approaches them, hand-signing to her husband as she is mute,
trying to stop what they're doing. But the father and son ignore her. Liz walks out, so Elie tries
to stop teaching as Liz is now upset. The son continues to shoot, then proceeds to say that Liz
isn't her mother, as Liz is only his step-mom. The next scene shows Liz and her family attending
a gathering that seems to be a mass along with other people. The Reverend comes to the center,
and talks about things that are related to their religion. After the mass, Liz continues to gaze
at the Reverend nervously, as she witnesses him feeling the belly of a pregnant woman.
Elie introduces his family to the Reverend, but finds Liz missing, so he goes to look after
her. Elie finds Liz at their carriage, who seems wary of the Reverend. All of a sudden,
the pregnant woman starts to agonize in pain. Upon hearing this, Liz hurries in to help her.
Inside the church, they lay her on the floor. In an attempt to help the pregnant woman with
delivering her baby, Liz hand-signs to Sam, to tell what she is saying to the old lady. Sam
informs the old lady that they have to choose who to save between the mother and the baby,
as the child's head is too big. Sam heads out of the church. Liz and the old lady proceed with
the delivery. After the delivery, she asks Liz to give her baby. Liz seems hesitant at first;
but the old lady takes the child from her, and gives the child to the woman. she cries out loud,
as she discovers her lifeless baby. Upset by what happened, Liz slowly leaves.
Following the scene, Elie approaches Liz, and hugs her from behind,
assuring her that it's not her fault for the woman's loss. Elie tries to comfort her,
by saying that the Lord gives but sometimes takes things away. Liz disagrees and says that it was
not the work of God, but the Reverend himself. The next day, Liz and Sam go to the place of their
last patient; but the husband of the patient denies their presence, as there is another
appointed doctor who's coming to their place, arranged by the Reverend. On their way home,
the people don't greet them as usual, while Sam waves her hand at them, probably because of the
incident with the woman's baby. Later that night, Nathan, the pregnant woman's husband, wakes up
Liz's family by shooting at their window. Nathan, who seems upset, searches for Liz and protests
outside their house. Elie tries to talk it out with Nathan, but he accuses Liz of murdering their
child. The Reverend arrives, and stops Nathan from shooting more, stopping the conflict.
Elie invites The Reverend inside their home. Liz refuses the idea, but Elie ignores her. Hiding
behind, Liz observes their discussion as she focuses on the Reverend. Elie decides to fetch Liz
upstairs, as he does not see her. Liz attempts to peek at the Reverend, but he catches her presence.
The Reverend warns Liz about punishing her for her sins, and threatening her with Sam. When Elie goes
back downstairs, he sees Liz. The Reverend excuses himself as he must go. After this,
Elie talks to Liz. She only responds that they have to move out of their place.
The day after, the son is about to feed the sheep when he enters the barn. But to his surprise,
all their sheep had already died. Elie rides his horse to talk to Nathan about the situation,
with his son following behind. On the other hand, Liz instructs Sam
to stay behaved, and to sing out loud while she cleans the barn. Suddenly, the door to the barn
closes. Liz struggles to get out of the barn; she panics as she sees the Reverend slowly approach
her daughter. Liz sees the Reverend taking Sam away. Liz attempts to climb up the window,
only to fall, making her unconscious. Meanwhile, Elie and his son arrive at
Nathan's place, only to find that the couple have already moved out. Later on, Liz regains
her consciousness, as soon as Elie and his son return. Liz tells Elie about the Reverend locking
her inside the barn, and him taking Sam. Liz looks for Sam inside their house. She gazes from
outside their window, then spots Sam returning, embracing his dad as if nothing had happened.
At night, Liz sneaks out of their house, as her family is asleep. She leaves, riding a horse to
the church. Liz enters the church, and readies a pocket knife as she walks. She enters a room
and unfolds a blanket, only to find a doll. Meanwhile, back in their house, the Reverend is
beside Sam's bed, as he also carries a knife with him. Liz rushes back to their house,
upon realizing that the Reverend could be there. Elie wakes up to check up on his
children. Outside the window he sees that the lights are turned on from inside their
barn. He goes outside holding a gun, ready to check the barn. As soon as he enters the barn,
the Reverend appears behind him and stabs him. Liz arrives, only to see her husband lying on the
floor, with his neck tied onto his own large intestines. Elie orders Liz to shoot him to
end his pain and suffering. The son arrives at the scene, and starts sobbing upon seeing his
father's state. Liz hesitates to shoot him, so the son takes the gun and shoots instead. Sam
calls out to Liz, as she is woken up by the Reverend. Liz and her two children reunite.
They leave as their house is now burning from fire, probably caused by the Reverend.

is Elizabeth. Joanna nods, even though she isn't. It turns out, Joanna is now taking up Elizabeth's
