October 30, 2008It's hard to put my finger on what's wrong with this movie, but there seems to be something a little off. Which is a shame, because the idea behind it is a pretty good one, really. An ex-theist has dedicated her life to debunking religious superstition and phenomena and comes upo... ...( read more )

October 25, 2008Interesting to learn about the 10 plagues in this way. It was kinda boring in parts though.

October 23, 2008A scientist specializing in debunking religious "miracles" is called in when a sleepy bayou town seems to be undergoing a Biblical plague. The Omen meets The X-Files in this supernatural chiller based firmly in the old school (or should that be Old Testament...?) It fulfills the ... ...( read more )

July 23, 2008Not even a great performance by Hillary Swank could save this cliche, predictable and entirely UN-scary horror film.

June 30, 2009I'm not a fan of Hilary Swank and this role wasn't winning me over. The storyline, however, was really good. How the film showed the 10 plagues in the Bible was pretty sweet. The girl, Annasophia Robb, did a great job.

What Hath Hollywood Wrought (or should that be ROT)?We GET it. "The end" is coming. Just not soon enough in this case. full review

Note to respected actors: If the movie involves dodging swarms of sparrow-sized locusts, tromping about in a creepy, blood-red river or facing down a scary little girl believed to be possessed by Sata... full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
The film succumbs to the plague of clichés -- things suddenly leaping into the frame, screeching sound effects, and a gag that must have been old by the time Moses hit puberty: Look at this freaky stu... full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
While The Reaping looks handsome -- you've never seen a prettier locust attack, believe me -- it's dumb enough to make your brain implode. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
[Director Stephen Hopkins] must have decided that horror needn't be technically horrifying, just flashy and programmatic and full of woo-woo choral bits that loudly command our spines to tingle. Stubb... full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Notable for its enthusiastic abandonment of any semblance of narrative coherence. Lately, lonely women in Hollywood movies are particularly vulnerable to attacks by multiple montages and random sound ... full review
