The Reaping (2007)
5/10
Another lame and cheesy religious horror film...
21 April 2007
The movie talks about all the bizarre incidents that indicate that a small town is perhaps experiencing the 10 Biblical Plagues. Enters Katherine Winter, a Christian missionary-turned scientist who specializes in providing scientific explanations to all the religious miracles that happen everyday. Silly me... I didn't do much homework before seeing this film and here I really thought that in the end she could logically explain what was going on.

Instead, the film turned into another typical Hollywood mess with cheesy visual and sound effects. The story remained the same little-understood religious babbling and the ending turned out to be utterly ridiculous, and a bit predictable too. The director shot some nice locations in the countryside though. And the acting was not bad either, with Hilary Swank and David Morrissey both playing their roles quite well. But in the end, it's the same old lame Hollywood-style horror/thriller flick, and I've really got tired of them lately.
