Grim Reaper

I hate to criticize anything from low budget independents but this film is just plain awful. The characters are barely credible, the script is disjointed and weak and the directorship is poor. Low budget films can still be pleasing to watch, but not this one.

I fully support independents and believe that some really fine talent comes out of smaller productions but this film has left me reeling.

The concept has been flogged to death by the likes of Final Destination and now suffers from any form of originality. Please Please Please do not produce films like this unless you have a) A sensible Budget B) A credible cast and C) A decent concept.

If you need a "horror" movie that gives you the feeling you could have done a way better thing just using your imagination after a few extra beers...this is the 1. I was watching Discovery channel while watching this movie and still i was able to guess most of the dialogues. Bad acting, poor storyline, the idea is not even close to something original, music that sometimes doesn't even fit with what happens in the movie, after the first 10-15 minutes you will easily guess the whole movie...what else can i say about this movie? Oh yea, after the first five minutes of the movie it gives the impression that the director ran out of mood and ideas and left the janitor to deal with the directing while he was around the corner having a joint. If those people can make "movies" it means i chose the wrong career. I'm sure most of you will feel the same after watching this...umm... whatever i'll just call it "no budget movie". My only regret is that i cant get my 1:30 hours from my life back

This is a response to Mr.Cagney's "review" ,which basically called anyone who has ever written a negative review here an "uneducated" half-wit.You see,his main criticism was that people didn't watch the entire movie before critiquing it,and even if they did, they weren't in the cast or crew, and therefore were not entitled to speak on the subject.His comments led me to believe that he was an extra,or otherwise had some "inside" information entitling him to a sense of superiority over those not directly,no matter how insignificantly,involved in film-making.Furthermore,he postulates,that unless an opinion is specifically solicited,it should not be ventured.Ironically,he himself had not seen even a microsecond of the particular film in question,and so far from making an apology for his inconsistency,he boasts of it as a point of merit to his argument!

I guess I will have to state the obvious and school the illustrious thespian;There are too many movies around too see them all,therefore a means of FILTERING is required,thus-REVIEWS.We CAN'T rely on the cast and crew of these films to supply them,because of conflict of interest(did I have to say it?).As far as his unsolicited argument,a movie review blog is an IMPLICIT solicitation ,INDB does not have to individually e-mail it's membership requesting a review.Sorry to pontificate,but the arrogance of that guy disturbed my otherwise peaceful reading of the reviews.Keep it up,there are some good writers among you all.

First 10 minutes is the most grim, stupid, predictable, screaming female, dark, predictable, bad acting....god it goes on. The taxi accident was the worst crash effects I have ever seen. Rachel rolls over the taxi like a sack of wool (in slow motion) mixed with potatoes....

The script is jarred and seems to go from one point to the other - there's no cohesion.

This is I'm afraid as bad as it gets. I didn't watch the full film, so I might be wrong and all actors and director might have improved after the halfway point...yes, I could not take any more the 35 minutes. I like movies, but not this one.

This is 1 point above Ed Wood directing.

Grim Reaper's premise is simple: Think Final Destination meets any cheesy slasher flick from the last 20 years.

I really hate saying bad things about anything independent, but this movie is just awful. If anyone is familiar with the old television series Forever Knight, you'll have a nostalgic feeling when you start watching this movie. The camera work is very similar to it. Unfortunately, that's where the similarities end.

Grim Reaper was certainly not a good movie. Character development is simply not present and the acting is borderline comedic. It has the feel of a Sci-Fi channel original film on a budget of $30 and free pizza filmed in an abandoned warehouse.
