Blood Reaper

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.

This movie was so bad it was good. Somewhere between the continuity errors, lack of plot, vomit-inducing bad acting, terrible writing and effects, and elements that just plain sucked, this movie fell out of the horror genre and landed heavily into comedy. Note: -the random guitar carrying guy who wanders aimlessly back into the forest -the chase scene that is shot...in a manner worse than home movies i've seen -the pointless ax (he always carries it, but always uses the knife to actually kill people) -and the guy who looks eerily like a goose. I don't think i've laughed this hard in a long time. Kudos to the talentless retarded dumb-asses who created this movie.

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.

The film is just that- an exercise in horror. Poorly executed, sure, but this is technically a film. I commend the filmmakers that they got a crew and cast together and finished this, but, it's just of the worst quality. We've seen it all before. And it's like it was shot with a $300 consumer miniDV camera. What I did enjoy, I really enjoyed- the creepy horror music and the DVD case- they both get A's. The campfire scene with the country singer was strange. The 'waking up and the killer is sitting outside' was weird. So was the scene with the director as sheriff walking through the forest with the reaper creeping around. The sped up footage of the woman getting in the boat (verged on Benny Hill territory there). And the creeper's shack... I could go on and on. This film is an inspiration to would-be horror auteur's because you too can pull off something like this.

No doubt this gave the cast/crew a couple weekends of fun to pull off, but it needs to be better all around.

Very poor across the board .... it's not even worth reviewing !
