Blood Reaper

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.

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.

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.

I agree with Joe Bob Briggs that while there are literally THOUSANDS of these things actully finished, much less were actully released in some way, it's still incredible that money was raised on a premise like BLOOD REAPER (I defy you to remember that title) and put out for those to see (currently, as of this writing, at midnight in some movie houses here - rented by the producers). About the most cliche of stalker notions (camp, teenagers, woods, killer who is "unknown", those wandering out muttering "Hey - anybody there", you know the drill, a surrated knife actully lovingly rendered on the one-sheet, and a "Featuring Brinke Stevens" who is hardly in the film for bait to suckers willing to part with money to buy a ticket or DVD)are on hand for not-a-short-enough 90 minutes to appeal to absolutely nobody, for it is done sans humor, tension,or even a weird take on something-or-other for some spice. Just a dreadful movie-going experience; doubly depressing for those whose films are lingering in local film fests and bad distributors. It DOES show, however, that even in Hollywood, empty halls are there to rent, and who knows? You might make a buck or two towards your NEXT epic. A thought.

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!
