Soul Reaper

Just awful. Not aur how we lasted 40 mins. Almost hilariously awful, but then that might have made it worth watching. It wasn't. The acting was so cringe worthy, it was painful. The characters were the most mundane clichéd set of people going that clearly no imagination was used. Script was dire. It's not even B movie worthy. More like Z. Could be used as a tool in interrogation it is so painful to watch.

If you enjoyed school of the damned you'll enjoy this. For anyone else 90%+ people it's crap, I wonder if Netflix got a job lot of crap films thinking the pandemic would make us lower our standards.

It's difficult to know where to start with a film like this. All aspects of it are absolutely abysmal. It's only redemption comes by default which is the laugh out loud moments it delivers when the tension should be at it's peak. If you want a lazy script full of clichés, delivered by a bunch of unlikeable characters, over an awful soundtrack that didn't fit in, with 10 bob special effects then this is for you. Personally I found it an insult to the genre I love.

One of the worst horror movies I have watched recently on Netflix. From bad acting, to a script written by someone who probably either never visited the UK, or bears a particular amount of malice towards the country. Come on mate, our pubs aren't really that unfriendly to begin with. And I say this having actually gone to some pretty remote parts of the country. Pubs are quite welcoming, and no one hates Americans!

When I sat down in 2021 to watch the 2019 horror movie "Soul Reaper", it was because it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And given the chance to watch it, of course I did. And I have to say that I actually found the movie's cover to be interesting.

So writers Bob Pipe and Richard Sandling had every opportunity to impress and entertain me where with "Soul Reaper", as I knew nothing about it, aside from it being a horror movie.

But wow, "Soul Reaper" with director Bob Pipe at the helm, just failed to entertain me in every aspect. The storyline was just too cluttered and lacked to have a proper structured narrative to it. So it felt like I was watching a series of random segments shots individually and then put together to make a horror movie. It just didn't work. And it most certainly wasn't entertaining or enjoyable.

The characters in the movie were bland and very forgettable. Now, I am sure that the actors and actresses involved in the movie were putting on good performances, but they virtually had nothing solid to work with in terms of a proper script or interesting characters.

I made it to the halfway marker, then I just gave up on the movie out of utter and sheer boredom. Nothing interesting had happened up to halfway through the movie, and I doubt that anything interesting would happen in the last half of the movie. And truth be told, I just doesn't care if it does or not, because the script failed to capture my interest entirely.

For a horror movie then "Soul Reaper" was just a swing and a miss. There was absolutely nothing scary about the movie. Unless you consider a pointless storyline as being scary.

My rating of the 2019 horror movie "Soul Reaper" lands on a two out of ten stars. This movie just isn't worth the time, money or effort. And ultimately, the movie's cover was the best thing about the entire ordeal.
