Stephen Hopkins directs The Reaping which is a very good supernatural thriller. Hillary Swank plays Katherine Winter who is an investigative scholar regarding paranormal events. She uncovers fraud and fake miracles. However, there are 10 biblical plagues that seem to occur in a very short period of time. The actors and special effects make The Reaping a movie that is worth seeing. There is a 20-minute stretch of non action that the director should have cut from the final version. On the bright side, Hilary Swank gives another talented performance.
Plus, the ending is spectacular. I rate this movie with 4 stars.

I'm not even going to bother with a full review, this movie isn't worth my time or energy to write about. Simply put, this movie is bad, not just bad, but horrendous, ugly, silly and trite. Phrases like "brain dead" and "insulting to all intelligent beings" does not even come close to describing the hole this film dug itself. It's almost like a serious Hot Fuzz (Widescreen Edition) with biblical plagues, can you possibly see that? Its bad people, avoid this like a plague (no pun intended. Okay, maybe it was).
Re-watch value; EXTREMLY low.

Hilary Swank's acknowledged acting talent was totally wasted in the inane satanic film "The Reaping". The flick's promising introductory scenes quickly degenerated into an aborted attempt to combine religion with occult to produce a frightening storyline.
Swank plays Katherine Winter, a professor at LSU who had previously been an ordained minister. Her bailiwick was investigating alleged miracles and debunking them based on scientific fact. Swank had lost her faith when doing missionary work in the drought ravaged Sudan, as both her husband and daughter were killed by superstitious local tribesmen.
Swank was summoned at the university by Doug Blackwell a teacher from the bible belt hamlet of Haven located in the bayous of Louisiana played by David Morrissey. The water in the local river purportedly turned to blood and Morrissey came to Swank seeking her council and an explanation. Swank ably assisted by Idris Elba playing Ben was soon confronted by plagues of frogs, dying livestock et al in the cursed town. The explanation for these plagues were put at the feet of a 12 year old girl Loren played by AnnaSophia Robb. According to the townfolk she was an incarnate of Satan himself.
Using computer graphics which were incredible, in particular,as the town gets attacked by grasshoppers, the plagues continue. The plot however degenerates into a half baked Satanic cult story that had it's origins in the town. Swank gets immersed into the histrionics as her actions propagate a continuation of the phenomena as the film concludes.

because that was what I was doing after a few minutes of watching this Cardinal Sin being called a movie.
If at confession you're given penance by your priest to do a thousand "Our Fathers" or to say the Rosary a hundred times, then count your blessings that he didn't force you to watch this movie just one time. Perhaps there truly is a place called Hell, because I felt like I was there for an hour and a half.
This movie could have been so great, given the genesis of the story and staring Hilary Swank, one of the best actresses of our day, but it ended up being a complete mess. Even the quality of the blu-ray transfer was terrible.
Please save your $19, or go buy "Seven" (which deals with this genera brilliantly), "28 Days Later", "28 Weeks Later", or "The Skeleton Key", which are all far superior films that you will enjoy time and time again.
Happy movie watching :)

If you know all about Moses and the 10 plagues in the Bible, then you know what will happen next starting with the river turning red. It's so predictable that it's boring. In addition, there's no scare factor.
Wanna know what the movie is about? Read the other reviews.
Overall, don't waste your time with this movie.
