A re-enactment of the 10 plagues, set in a town where the accent is utterly admirable, locusts swarm and rivers turn to blood. Scientist-slash-professor Katherine finds herself drawn to the town to prove the "miracle" wrong with some of her "scientific explanations" alongside his loyal assistant, Ben. Katherine is soon to find out that she is facing a genuine "miracle". A true and real set of plagues.
Like Katherine of cynical God-belief, we are expected to translate the supernatural phenomena that is inside the movie as an uncontrolled and wild massive killings thanks for the help of some freaky images flickering here and there, and some dizzying editing. The veering from totally disbelief of the Lord--after some misfortune happened to her in Africa--of Katherine, to a certain, supernatural hero, is simply schlocky. While it stings with some of the slickest, and in fact, some of the cheap-looking CGI (in very few instances) effects; it presents a movie with shoddy shock fest, if, and only if, you are certain that there are enough amount of shocks and horror, and scares to even call it 'shock-fest'. The sudden relationship between Katherine and Loren (a freakish young local girl) is almost laughable. However, a number of events turn out unexpected deserves an admission.
'The Reaping' is a shoddy shocker; though a slick-offender when it comes to fancy looking effects considering the early release of the year '07. 1.5 stars.
