I watched this movie with an open mind, hoping it would be better than the critics said it was. I thought, "How can you mess up a thriller about the return of biblical plagues?" Well, they did it!
The Reaping is about as dull as a thriller can get. Not a single scene was frightening in the slightest - the "scares" are the most predictable "jump" scenes that I've seen in some time. The plot is also thin and holds very little actual content. Whenever there is a "twist" or unexpected event in the story, the movie will actually flash back and replay a previous scene that was a clue to the surprise. The usage of this technique almost makes it seem like the filmmakers think their audience is a bunch of idiots, considering the surprises are fairly obvious to begin with.
Bottom line: please do not waste your time with this film. I can't think of any reason to actually want to see it.
