Movie Review

Grade: C- From director Stephen Hopkins comes the surprisingly drab The Reaping, a Hilary Swank-starring horror movie that has a neat concept but not much else. Just in time for Halloween, The Reaping is hoping to reap the awards (sorry) of those looking for a scare, but I would recommend looking elsewhere.

The Reaping, by Evelyn

November 3, 2007

I was disapointed by this fim. To much going back and forth. The storyline is hard to follow. The plagues were done well , to much figuring out what is real and what is not. Hilary always shines in her movies, this movie is not her fault.
