'Kin' Review: A stunningly unique sci-fi crime thriller with a twist

Lionsgate's 'KIN' will keep you on the edge of your seat in this unpredictable story about family, sacrifice and the unknown.
PUBLISHED AUG 28, 2018

Filmmakers Jonathan and Josh Baker blew their first feature film out of the park with their gritty and suspenseful sci-fi crime thriller 'Kin'. While 'Kin' is the Baker brothers' first feature film, it is hardly their first stint in show business.  With over 15 years of filmmaking experience collaborating with award-winning creatives, as well as having directed a multitude of commercials for companies like Nike, Beats By Dre, Google, Sony, HP and more, it was only a matter of time before the Baker brothers created a superb film like 'Kin.'  'Kin' was actually adapted from their short film 'Bag Man', which debuted at the SXSW Film Festival in 2015. 'Bag Man' received rave reviews and created enough buzz that it began to have a pretty hefty cult following.
