Review of Reaper

Reaper (I) (2014)
1/10
Complete and Total Garbage...Hands Down
14 August 2015
I am not really sure what everyone else was watching on here but I could have written better material if I ties a pencil, and piece of paper, to my nether regions and ran on the treadmill for an hour. First and foremost I only rented this movie because of the description, which has nothing, and I mean nothing, to do with the movie what so ever. It's even worse in Redbox than it is here, the description says a man was wrongly accused and executed for a crime which he did not commit and it unleashed a spirit that descends upon an unsuspecting town full of criminals who have to band together ....or something like that. Not even close to what the movie is about. There is no wrongly accused anything, no spirit, we can only assume the movie starts off weeks after the movies description so that's already over and done with and no recap on what has already transpired to get to this point. There is no story, except for the here and now, basically a bunch of people arguing who are just as clueless of whats going on as the audience, no information leading up to what has happened, no closure, just a bunch of over dramatic, over exaggerated actors, who keep you guessing on what is happening. You can kind of piece together what was in the movie, towards the end, but it takes you a bit since there really is no closure of any sort. We did, however, get a lot of smug grins from the characters despite what had just happened, ten minutes beforehand, like they are top dog in the locker room at a high school basketball game, or something, and when they really did nothing but argue scream and cry through the entire ordeal. Now, I understand this was a low budget film, and I am a big fan of a lot of low budget movies, but this was so unrealistic it was kind of watching the old revenge of the killer tomatoes with the original nightmare on elm street blood and gore.....At least attack of the killer tomatoes was entertaining ... Lame!
