namaGemo Seems to be a lot of people associated with this pile of trash film are offering GREAT but completely UNTRUE reviews. I rarely write any myself, but in cases where it's obvious people are trying to push trash upon unsuspecting viewers, I'm alerting those to be on the lookout.Don't waste time or money on this. It's not so bad it's good, it's just trash straight through. My 3 stars are for the female lead and viewing her, but her acting leaves a lot to be desired as does the rest of the cast who appears to be phoning in the horribly written dialogue.This story starts somewhere and ends up nowhere. Multiple story lines that have zero to do with any reaper. We're given a quick spiel on the reaper, but it doesn't have anything to do with his focus on people in this hotel. Unless you want to see a cute girl, avoid at all costs.

Nigel P A skimpily dressed blond hitching a lift alone, a group of gangsters headed by hard-man Vinnie Jones and the insane survivor of an electric chair execution. What could possibly go wrong? This pleasingly intriguing set-up keeps us guessing. At first we fear for the safety of young Natalie (Shayla Beesley) as she climbs into cars with strangers; then we feel sorry for those behind the wheel as she turns out to be something of a highway robber; then we realise she is robbing these people to get money for an operation for her deathly ill mother.Coincidences run strongly here. Two of those she has robbed happen to be in league, not only with each other but also with Jones' hard-as-nails gangster Rob. Of all the characters, possibly the most likable is Danny Trejo's Jack. When a drug-dealer is comparatively sympathetic, it shows how refreshingly flawed the rest of the ensemble is.Sadly, the second half of the film suffers from disappointingly executed (no pun intended) deaths and a plot tied up too hastily. Also, The Reaper just isn't very frightening. The ever-present sparks that announce his presence merely serve to obscure him and his evil-doings. He appears to have assumed the role of an avenging angel, and the sole proprietor of the hotel (who is too much of a seedy caricature to take seriously) where it all happens, is in league with him.

lonniew The movie is far better than I anticipated.. when I saw Danny was in the movie I naturally assumed it was going to be a corny horror movie but it really isn't .. It's actually not even a horror movie really.. there is some aspect of horror in here when the villain is doing his thing.. but the movie is properly fleshed out enough that you care about the characters.. the writing is well done, the acting is well done.. the plot may be a little corny.. a botched execution creates an evil creature .. yadda.. seen that before :) But .. they keep that villain to a minimum .. JUST enough to serve it's purpose! I definitely suggest checking this one out .. it's definitely not boring.

mickjj An engaging little chiller which pays nice tribute to some of its more high- budget predecessors, "Reaper" is a formula-tested slasher flick with some good performances and a familiar but welcome vibe.A manipulative hitchhiker. A ruthless crime boss. A slick drug dealer. A darkly noble truck driver. A religious zealot. A trigger happy cop. Oh, and I forgot to mention a supernatural killer who looks a bit like Electro Man crossed with Bruce Willis at the end of "Unbreakable." Combine all of the above and you have the admittedly campy and surprisingly clever "Reaper." Any movie fan will identify the homages to classics like "Psycho," "The Shining," "From Dusk til Dawn," and "Shocker." Both mystery thriller and horror elements are nicely combined, resulting in a film that's a little Hitchcock, a little Rodriguez, and mostly just a lot of fun.
