MCT:August 9, 2008This trippy movie has gained cult status
Perhaps hottie Arielle Kebbel in the johnnyhouse doing the skivvy divvy from the whizzie dizzedoo has something to do with it! -

A pretty decent movie with a decent story, but some very bad acting. A little better quality acting and this would have been much better.
-
MCT:June 7, 2008Aha, I don't mind what I was told in the credits. I can really say, with all of the freedom in the world, that THIS MOVIE SUCKS. How's that?

As for story not to envolved there. As for scare factor and suspence it has that. Cant say I will watch it again but for a first time shot its not to bad.

Taking a road trip to a desert rave five young people have to stop in a rundown motel for the night and have to go through the nightmare of their lives. That's not exactly new as far as slasher movies are concerned, but rather well done and with a few nice scares. The bad guy / monster has some good and some silly scenes, but at least the final twist is kinda neat. No groundbreaking horror material but decent entertainment.

Hey Kevin i thought the same as you "half way through i thought great but come the end i thought...WTF!"
what a twist at the end................. -
MCT:February 16, 2008Evil is in the air.
On the fantastically modest DVD commentary, director/writer/producer Dave Payne is quick to point out that Reeker is a movie, not a film, and it seems to be one that polarises opinion like none other I've seen in a while. People seem to love it or hate it, largely it seems on whether they feel that the twist works (or that they saw it coming). To be honest, I don't feel like there is a twist at all; Payne makes no effort to hide the facts of what is happening to the assorted characters - just because the characters don't have self-awareness doesn't mean that the viewer can't be clued in - and half the fun of the film is from seeing how 'death' is visualised (and how it is sign-posted through smell - a trick that largely works without resorting to over-familiarity).
On an obviously low budget and what evidently was a quick shoot, Payne has made a film that mostly avoids cliché, has an original premise (that works far better than the thematically similar Dead End) and some great special effects. The cast is a bit rough around the edges but there are some nicely cult-ish faces that put in some good work (Devon Gummersall of My So-Called Life, Eric Mabius of The L Word and Michael "I get an 'and also featuring' credit in almost everything I'm in" Ironside), and the story holds up to scrutiny. It's refreshing to watch an American horror film from the first few years of the 21 Century that isn't a remake of a 70s slasher or an Asian ghost story; bravo Dave Payne.

MCT:February 13, 2008It was good. Little scary. Really looked freaky how that dude was cut in half or how that other dude had half of his face missing.The girl who survived looked so bossy and needs to loosen up a little. I really though the blind guy was going to die first, but I was glad that he made it.

MCT:January 7, 2008This movie stank (sorry couldn't resist the pun). Puns aside however this film started quite good, but then seemed to plummet into crapness from there onwards. Michael Ironside appears disinterested and your not going to believe this, doesn't have his arm lopped off (scandalous I know). Filled with B movie actors and actresses for what can be described at best as being a below par B movie. This flick doesn't even have the good grace to present us with some gratuitous tats. Only watch this if its a Sunday afternoon and the alternative is Antiques Roadshow.
NB: It just about scrapes 2 stars due to its inoffensive w*nkness! -

Considering how likely it was that I would not be impressed by this at all the fact that I gave it 3 stars is slightly confusing to even me. So here's the logic behind my reasoning, It not a highly creadable horror film, the concept is daft, the actors are below par non-entities and the gore is a bit ridiculous and silly. However the twist at the end I REALLY DID NOT SEE COMING!!! Honestly i'm usually pretty great at figuring out confusing and strange twist in movies but this was hidden from even me. And what a great twist it actually was so because of that excellent ending I gave it an extra star from a 2 up to a 3 star rating.
Basically the idea is that 5 people at the same college car pull to go to a party miles away, on the way they see a crashed car on the side of the road, a few miles later they run out of gas and pull into a gas station / motel / diner area to find it deserted. soon they start to see the dead walking around before being slowly picked off by........now get this..... a noxious gas cloud. They have to rely on the blind student Jack and his increased sense of smell to save them till morning before they can escape.
Worth watching just for the ending, even though its not actually great. The majority is watchable and slightly entertaining but thats about it not much originality or innovative screen viewing.
Oh and as daft as the monster smell killer thing sounds it really isn't when you get into the film because its not the nasty stinky smell that kills but the evil mechanical alien looking DEATH within that kills and the resulting gas cloud is the "Smell of death". So not quite as stupid as it actually is portrayed.

MCT:November 23, 2007So um this film attempted horror & comedy & failed at both. it gets one & a half a star because of some mildly cool deaths. the twist is stupid. this is blah i watched it 'cause it was on cable and i figured what the hell i shouldn't have. oh well

I thought this movie was going to be dissapointing but it's quite interesting concept on death. It's good.

A group of friends stay overnight at a seedy motel, and guess what? They get picked off one by one by a strange foul-smelling, gadget-using murderer. I appreciated the twist at the end, whether you think "Occurence on Owl Creek Bridge" is cliched or not.

Plays out like an extended episode of The Outer Limits and it was intriguing to find out what was actually bumping off the mostly generic characters.
And why did the blind guy not have a white stick or a guide dog? -
MCT:September 17, 2007
You might find this film a bit strange at first but there is a good twist at the end which puts it all into perspective. Worth watching.

I wanted so much more from this movie, i expected an original low budget chiller, but what i got was an average small film that took bits of other movies threw them in a mixer and made good of what came out.
The budget has been used well for the fx and gore, the reeker is creepy enough and the acting is not that bad, there is just that something missing to take it above so many other horror films. The plot takes too long to get going after a good opening salvo.
Worth a rent if you like your horror though. -
MCT:September 11, 2007
Was an average horror film. Some woman getting sucked down a toilet outhouse stood out for me, her trying to pull her way up on a toilet roll. Ha ha funny as ppl funny as! Bad effects i was having a fit :D

The best thing about this movie is the gore make-up. Bloody brilliant. It's quite confusing though, and doesn't explain the ending well at all. Shame. Could have been a lot better but doesn't reek too much!

MCT:September 9, 2007
final destination meets jeepers creepers. half way through i thought great but come the end i thought...WTF!
-
MCT:August 15, 2007
The movie is pretty slow i though but when the end hit it was a pretty good movie and i wanted to watch it again.
-
MCT:July 29, 2007
Not a fantastic movie, more like an okay movie. An original way to represent death. I did like the unexpected ending.
-
MCT:July 11, 2007
How TWISTED, great flick loved it. starts off like most horror flicks, but then starts to turn and by the end you're like WTF just happened, I would say that if you have not seen this I would watch it!!

Cool horror movie with a good twist.At first i thought this was going to be another dodgy run of the mill horror but its actually got some good scary bits and a pretty decent ending.
