Legend of the Red Reaper

This was in the top 10 DVD charts in Asda, I liked the look of the box art so bought it... It is truly the absolutely worst film I have ever seen. To put this into context, I managed to enjoy Starship Troopers 2.

This has the most poorly constructed storyline, and script writing I have ever seen. The repeated use of of dramatic posing, replayed again and again the constant use of dream sequence segments used over and over. The audio which you can hear in a single dialogue being cut half way through, dubbed with a studio recording then back to the scene recording again.

I feel thoroughly ripped off. It belongs in the 99p store - on a 2 for the price of one offer. The phrase "Watching paint dry" should be replaced with "Watching Red Reaper" because watching paint dry would be less tedious.

Honestly, I think it was misleading for Asda to sell this in the "Entertainment" section, I might demand my money back.

This is one of those movies where the reviews have all been written by cast and production crew. In actual fact the acting is sub standard and my Staffie could have acted better. The fight scenes were shocking, slow and very very unrealistic. The cast has not one decent acting bone between them.

I wish these amateurs would stop churning out rubbish z-movies and save their weekly pocket money up until they can afford to do something decent.

The lead actress herself is not talented enough to be a lead and not that pleasing to the eye either.

The days of a good sword and sorcery movie are over.

Please delete this obscenity from all databases. It is truly terrible.

This film is truly the most awful piece of crap I've ever seen.

Normally I like fantasy films, but good grief - this one takes the cake. Dreadful acting, terrible script.. so bad I thought it was a joke. Seriously, porn films have better acting. And better scripts. And better plot.

In fact, instead of watching this rubbish, rent a fantasy porno, and fast forward through all the rude bits. It would be more entertaining, and be a better film.

One thing, the sets, costumes, and makeup were nice - I think thats where all the money went. But thats about it.

This movie is so bad you cannot even enjoy it for its badness. It is obviously a vanity project for the lead actor/director/writer Tara Cardinal. Unfortunately, Ms Cardinal is not very good at any of her jobs in this. Her acting, and the rest of the cast, was stiff and uninspired. The directing was amateurish. And the story was unoriginal.

The only positive thing I can say is, I admire Ms Cardinal for having a dream and pursuing it. Unfortunately this was a dream not worth sharing.

Mostly I found the movie distracting. I kept being distracted by the acting, which as I already stated was bad. Then there's the fight scenes, which looked like they were from a high school drama club production. The fights moved so slowly at points they looked like someone filmed the choreography rehearsal. And then there was the oddest distraction of all. The characters' names, Ganesh, Adonis, Freya? How did she think using names from a mishmash of mythologies would help the plot line?

Ah, this movie is just a mess. I've actually been known to enjoy bad movies. Some of them can have a certain charm to them. But this movie has no redeemable qualities.

As I watched Red Reaper I kept having one thought. How did Tara Cardinal ever get funding for this?

Ganesh: God of beginnings, remover of obstacles, patron of art and science. Adonis: Greek god of beauty and desire. What the heck? Isn't there a book that would warn you not to use certain names in a movie unless they actually relate to the movie? The plot is non-existent and jumps all over the place. The acting would have been better done by a class of pre-schoolers. The sound jumps from one badly applied effect to another. The music is laughable and obviously taken from other sources and also badly matched to the scenes and doesn't flow (martial music to a love scene???) I can never get the time I wasted on this rubbish back and that's really sad. You know when a movie is so bad that it becomes funny? That isn't one of those. This is just bad.

I really wish I had one of those devices used by Men in Black to erase my memory, there's about 2 hours I could get rid of.

One star rating is too many.
