I think the most telling thing about "The Reaping" is that I can't remember much about it shortly after watching it. I do remember seeing some terrific special effects and some enjoyable performances by Hilary Swank and Idris Elba. But I also recall being frustrated with all of the confusing "visions" that Swank's character was experiencing. In fact this whole "what is real" and "what's a dream or vision" thing in movies is getting a bit overwhelming. It really took away from my enjoyment of this movie...a lot. The ending was rather dull it was supposed to shock but didn't. "The Reaping" also failed to be what it was trying to be and that's scary. It wasn't.

Hilary Swank and Idris Elba lead the cast in the apocalyptic horror thriller The Reaping. When a small-town starts experiencing biblical plagues they seek the help of college professor Katherine Morrissey, who specializes in investigating and disproving religious phenomena. The script is a little uneven and does a rather poor job at revealing Katherine’s mysterious backstory. However, Stephen Hopkins’ directing adds a lot of tension and suspense, as does the score. And AnnaSophia Robb is especially good as a creepy little girl. The Reaping is formulaic and a bit clichéd, but it delivers some chilling scares.

One thing that really sucked me into watching this film was a modern take on the ten deadly plagues of Egypt found in the Exodus book of the Bible, but each of these plagues is happening in modern time. That’s something I really found interesting, along with the intelligent scientific explanations More

The Reaping harvests souls of the religiously devoted by subjecting them to this. “What hath God wrought?”. If ever there was a tagline that would instantly persuade audiences to leap up from their sofas, drive to the nearest cinema complex and purchase a couple of tickets, it’s this one. Sure More
