The Reaping |

If I had watched this in the cinema, I would have walked out within 10 minutes nursing a migraine and vowing never to watch another movie by Stephen Hopkins again. As it was, I watched it at home and so had nowhere else to go. I tried hard to fall asleep to escape the shaky handheld camera which refused to stay still for a moment but, alas, I failed and ended up watching the whole disgraceful, motion-sickness inducing, mess. It was an hour and 10 minutes in before things picked up from being dull as ditchwater to mildly entertaining and then everything just started rushing by with all sorts of cliché-ridden twists. The scene with the CGI locusts was quite exciting but the ending just made me angry. This turned out to be just another "Wicker Man" and "The Omen" ripoff with more than a few similarities to "Signs" as well. I wanted to like it, I really did, but it was honestly one of the worst things I've seen this year. It wasn't horror. There was nothing scary, no gore, and no real sexiness. I am not a fan of David Morrissey, the poor man's Liam Neeson, at all. Who the hell is Hilary Swank anyway? I've never seen her in anything else and I don't think I ever want to see her again either. This movie sucked. |
