Blood Reaper

This is my first review on IMDb, so bear with me. I just felt absolutely compelled to comment on this "film" after suffering through what felt like hell.

Now I'm not one to bash low-budget horror, but Blood Reaper is a complete mess. It is filled with some of the worst clichés I have ever seen, terrible production qualities, along with terrible acting, costumes, and dialogue. I consider myself VERY lenient when it comes to reviewing horror movies and I have endured some of the worst. So let me tell you folks, this is among the worst.

There is NOTHING redeeming about this film. The only people that I could imagine giving this high ratings are those involved in the production. Please save yourself $5 and avoid renting/buying this piece of trash. I almost went crazy trying to endure the first half of this film, then I gave up and watched the second half at 4X speed. I don't feel like I missed a minute of the film, that's how terrible it was.

The killer's costume looks like it was purchased at the local Home Depot and the actors seem as though they were pulled off the streets. The writing and plot exhibit how anyone with a bit of cash can film their own movie nowadays. The only reason this gets a 2/10 from me is because of my own rule: I only give a 1/10 if I cannot finish the movie.

Bottom line: Avoid this like the plague.

I just don't understand why these things keep getting churned out? Would it kill someone to make a independent MONSTER MOVIE these days? This thing is so clichéd it's not even funny. The killer looks so lame, the only way he'd be able to get you is to kill you when you're on the ground laughing at him. Total clumsy oaf, terrible costume, and not threatening in the least. There are only two things that save this from being completely unwatchable, the music and the crazy tent lady. The music makes this film better than it should be. It's appropriately haunting and adds suspense when the situations in the film can't. Kudos to T.Reed for his work. The crazy tent lady is the only one who can act, if she is acting at all!. Very Lynch-ian, she belongs in a different film all together. All in all, don't waste your time. Just hunt down a soundtrack, it's a helluva lot scarier and creepy than the film itself!

So blood reaper...

#1 what happened to wesley (I think thats his name) he never got killed as far as i can tell. He was just forgotten. There were 6 when they got to the cabin.... now on the back of the incredible DVD case it says there were only 5 friends. Im not even counting the guy who dropped them off! there was a sixth friend at the cabin! #2 Thank god for the DVD case yet again for its information.... As I did not learn the killers motivations at all from the movie. The Case sort of gave me a back ground.

#3 You can get current clothes from a thrift store. It is not necessary to have people wear 1980s clothes in a more current movie.

#4 There were no walls on that cabin. So while he was trying to break down the door I was saying there are no walls why isn't he going in through the wood. Im happy to see some other people noticed this. As it was so funny.

This was the worst low budget horror movie I've ever had. And I own a lot of them. I only gave this movie a 2 because the reviews were more humorous than the movie was good. So much not explained.... Yet if it was it wouldn't even matter....

One of the most vapid and terrible movies I have ever seen. I hear people talking about the limitations of an SOV film and yeah, I understand that, but that doesn't mean I should expect boring, predictable trash. Some of the SOV slashers have a charm to them, but the majority are about as interesting or note-worthy as a glass of milk.

Look, unless you enjoy bottom of the barrel DTV do not watch Blood Reaper. If however, you find enjoyment in dreck like Last Slumber Party, Houseboat Horror or anything of that ilk you may want to seek this one out.

Competently filmed, a good location, cool killer and some decent gore plus an appearance by Brinke Stevens are all positives. There's also a genuinely disturbing bit with an elderly gypsy woman that is memorable.

Highly recommended for the die hard slasher fans, others best stay away from the Blood Reaper's woods.
