Sin-Jin Smyth

Sin-Jin Smyth takes place over the weekend of Halloween, in an America that has become a police state. On November 2 (The Day of the Dead), two federal marshals report to one jail in Shinbone, Kansas, to transfer one prisoner, known as Sin Jin Smyth, during the tornado warning.[1]

The film was slated for release in the end of 2006, but it was delayed. Although there has been speculation on whether the movie will ever be released, IMDb revised the project status in January 2007 to “post production” even though principal photography had yet to be completed.[2]

The original page on IMDb has been deleted, and a new one created, with the title Sin-Jin, and the date of 2009. As of February 2021, the film has yet to complete principal photography, with some online sources citing the lack of funding.[3] One of the actresses in the film, Eileen Dietz, remarked that the film is “never coming out” in June 2008.[4]

Roddy Piper said to Fangoria about the film in May 2008: “They keep hyping it like it’s gonna come out, and it’s just not finished, and I don’t like the fact that they’re using my name. I was talking to Richard Tyson about it, saying ‘You know, I’m just gonna pull it off the market.’ But he said ‘Leave it out there, because you never know — they might come around,’ so we decided to see what the director, and his people can do to get it back up. They spent all their money, and they didn’t have a completion bond — so I hear, anyway.”[5]
