Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

GL84 Following a score of strange incidents, a group of criminals hiding out at a reclusive hotel find their troubled hitchhiker target is the least of their problems when a supernatural being begins taking out everybody one-by-one.This here was quite the bland and overall uninteresting effort. The biggest issue here holding this one back is the fact that so much of what happens here is just not that interesting or enjoyable, which is mainly due to how this one starts off. The majority of the first half here is dedicated to thoroughly uninteresting by being more of a lame crime/drama rather than straight-forward horror film. By focusing on her troubled life-style and willingness to utilize her femininity to get the drop on both guys which allows her to continue being such a tease to everyone makes for such an overly bland offering. Hardly anything about this section works well in determining this one as being much of a horror film with the three different plot lines coming into play here that makes this one drag out the horror elements which come so late into the film that there's little opportunities for horror elements even before taking those elements on throughout the rather extended series of stalking scenes in here. These are just so overlong that it ends up really ruining the few attacks at slasher rhythms with the fact that the killer is so underdeveloped and completely clueless about his origins that he's quite unimposing long before having his first appearance pop up in the second half of this one. Still, once it does get into some of the more involved sequences here this one becomes quite a bit of fun with the fact that there's some genuinely fun sequences in here, from the rather tense stalking done in the middle of the hotel where the crackling bolts of electricity that signify its presence burst into the middle of the scene and make for a creepy time as it begins stalking the unwary groups still in the midst of their petty arguing and allowing for some tense moments, as well as the final confrontation in the church which has some creepy moments. Along with some fine action in the different races to get to safety throughout here, there's some fun to be had but it's mostly pretty flawed.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and drug use.

namaGemo Seems to be a lot of people associated with this pile of trash film are offering GREAT but completely UNTRUE reviews. I rarely write any myself, but in cases where it's obvious people are trying to push trash upon unsuspecting viewers, I'm alerting those to be on the lookout.Don't waste time or money on this. It's not so bad it's good, it's just trash straight through. My 3 stars are for the female lead and viewing her, but her acting leaves a lot to be desired as does the rest of the cast who appears to be phoning in the horribly written dialogue.This story starts somewhere and ends up nowhere. Multiple story lines that have zero to do with any reaper. We're given a quick spiel on the reaper, but it doesn't have anything to do with his focus on people in this hotel. Unless you want to see a cute girl, avoid at all costs.

nicolecc-50474 Went into this expecting very little but was quite surprised to discover that it was far less gory and way more interesting than initially suspected. I think the advertising here actually didn't do justice to the film because it comes off as a cliché slasher romp from the marketing but it's actually a twisty crime thriller with some supernatural shades. The cast really holds it together nicely, creating an ensemble of refreshingly flawed characters who are playing a dangerous game of survival of the fittest. Genre vets Trejo and Jones are always welcome additions to this kind of material, and they do as good a job as can be expected. Overall "Reaper" isn't quite what was expected, in a good way.

drdeathforpresident yawn - that would be the whole review.Beware of movie trailers, in fact, don't watch them anymore. I've learned my lesson. The story, just like the dialogue, is simple and stupid. A runaway gets picked up by a drunk, horny salesman. They end up in a hotel where the dye job blonde whips the salesman with a belt repeatedly (which he oddly enjoys) then ties his ass to a chair. She steals his wallet and his piece of crap car and hightails it outta there. The car, just like the film, runs out of gas. Now comes the B story. Two drug dealers hanging out in a restaurant are popping blue pills that look like Viagra. Where the hell is The Reaper? We are 30 minutes into this and nothing happens except now my eyelids are closing. The blonde backs into the young dealer and somehow they become friends and now she is driving his ass to a liquor store. The dumb ass dealer gets out of the car leaving a bunch of money in her possession so she takes off. Long story short, about 45 minutes into this we are introduced to Danny Trejo's character. The blonde and Danny go back to the hotel. She pulls a gun on Danny and the young drug dude - The Reaper finally shows up again, this time killing everyone in his path and I'm left wondering why? Why didn't anyone kill this dumb broad & why was Danny Trejo's character so damn submissive and forgiving? Come on, Danny Boy. Is it the child support payments?
