The Reaping (2007)
6/10
More interesting than I was expecting
13 December 2007
"The Reaping" is an interesting exploration of religious themes within a horror setting. I'm surprised Dark Castle, whose known for their fluffy pop horrors, would tackle a script like this. It's definitely the company's most ambitious horror film to date. It has it's good aspects-- it's very twisty, creepy, and thought-provoking. However, be prepared to be doused with bad CGI and even worse acting by David Morrissey (go away already!). While the basic plot line is original, parts of the movie borrow a little too much from religious horrors from the 70s (everything from "The Exorcist" to "The Omen" to "The Wicker Man.") Still, I'd say it's worthy of a viewing.
