Grim Reaper

Grim Reaper

Characters:

Rachel: Our main character and a stripper who was hit by a car and stalked by death

Liam: Rachel’s boyfriend and a medical student, makes a unnerving amount of jokes about what he learned in anatomy class...

Nick: One of the smarter patients, tries to escape, befriending Rachel in the process, chopped in half by the Reaper.

Peter: A drug addict, of which type I don’t know, yeah he is a druggie and thats all we get to know about him before he dies

Tia: Likes to cut herself, she calls it a cry for attention, electrocutes herself ‘cause she is a tard like that.

Stewart: Rarely speaks, but he can draw pretty good. Has lots of sticks/paint brushes impaled in his head....

Katie: A rather bitchy red-headed woman who was blinded when her boyfriend poured acid in her eyes, decapitated, offscreen though........

The Doctor: Made a deal with the devil and is now forced to collect the people who should be dead so that the Grim Reaper can harvest their souls, shot by Liam

The Grim Reaper: Yeah, kills peoples with his scythe, uhh is somehow momentarily “stopped” by being drawn out to sunlight in a church....yes I meant that, stop laughing, I know it hard to believe, trust me



Plot:
Hmm, well there is the grim reaper, teens, a crazy doctor who sold his soul to save him from cancer, churches, and a unclothed grim reaper, no don’t make me actually explain what is going on in the film, please I refuse I don’t wanna








Review:
Ouch, this movie hurt me, not physically, but mentally It is so damned confusing that I had no clue what was going on in most of the film, I mean the actual plot description barely even tells you what the movie is about. The characters are unoriginal and for he most part you really don’r care if they live or die, they are just there to raise the bodycount above the small limits it had in the first place, not to mention all the characters save the two main ones and the Grim Reaper are dead by the time the movie was 1 hour in Which leads me to my next complaint, without opening or ending credits the movie is barely 70 minutes long, the grim reaper is actually very cheesy looking and doesn’t even feel supernatural, he just felt like the average person in a rather poor Halloween costume And don’t you even get me started on the gore, there is one good gore scene, and thats Nick’s death, the rest are very badly done and for the most part are rather fake and cheesily pulled off I bought the movie used for 4$ at a garage sale and the dude I bought it from looked genuinely happy that I bought it, I guess I’m a sucker for cool covers Ah well....

The directing goes from mildly cool to badly pulled off and very cheesy, filled with weird and unneeded angles but at least there was no zooms I just hate it when people zoom in on things during movies The acting is pretty bad with two Ok performances from the two main characters and everyone else doing VERY unconvincing jobs as the dialogue felt forced and badly delivered I can’t really recommend this to anyone, maybe the diehard slasher fans as they are probably the only guys who can handle thins movie without trying to smash the TV open





Gore:
two impalements, some sticks jammed into ones face, a dude chopped in half, and not a lot more...



T&A:
Nope



Bodycount:
9



Final Rating: 1/5
