Grim Reaper (2007)

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

When I picked up this bargain bin movie ( $1.99 USD new ) I was expecting a cheap knockoff of "Final Destination". I was a bit surprised that there were almost no references to the other movie at all. This film can be rightly called a fairly original concept. As far as the movie it's self, the videography was decent, and the lighting was OK.I had an issue with the editing. A lot of scenes seem way too short. As soon as the plot point is revealed, the movie jolts to a new scene.The acting was all over the place, ranging from deadpan, to completely out of character, or not appropriate for the situation. One glaring example is the boyfriend character, who seems completely disinterested in his girlfriend ( main character ), though his dialog suggests he is suppose to be very concerned, and "dropped everything" to try to find her. The story line it's self is pretty good, though due to poor directing and / or script, parts of it can be slow. There was some actual suspense built up toward the end, though most of the movie really didn't get me too "invested". As far as the main antagonist, the Grim Reaper, when they reveal him at the end, he looks ridiculous! It looks like some one with a cheap rubber mask, and rubber foam glued to their costume. If they didn't have the budget for a half way decent costume, they should have left the Reaper in his robes. The undead from "Evil Dead 3" are a lot better looking.The sound effects the Reaper made got on my nerves also. No matter what surface he was walking on, it would make the generic "walking on metal grating" noises you hear in quite a few older video games. On a final note, the mausoleum were the opining credits and the scenes near the end were shot at, look exactly like the one from "Bram Stoker's Dracula's Guest" .

Am i alone in thinking this movie is so bad it's good? This has become one of my favourite movies purely because it's awful! Lets review a few choice moments....The part where the boyfriend gets stabbed with an amazing rubber knife that moves about 6 times in one shot....Another favourite the crazy Asian doctor who does a graceful twirl and lands on his arse.... Also when he gets stabbed by the grim reaper you can see the plastic knife bending on the window! The incredulous mewling of the grim reaper when the fat guy who gets killed with the paintbrush slams the door in his face, only for the grim reaper to convey in a angry mewl that he was having none of it and blasts the door....And the most amazingly funny part of the film has to be when the grim reaper gets struck by daylight and could've of moonlighted as a extra in thriller with those funky shoulder rolls and pelvic thrusts! At one point he bucks his neck so hard getting into the role that his ear is flat on his back almost!Yes this movie is rubbish, but unlike many rubbish movies which just leaves you bored at least this was humorous (even if it was unintentionally amusing!)I recommend that you watch this movie if you just wanted a couple of cheap thrills. If however you can't appreciate the humour in a situation then don't bother!

The stripper Rachel (Cherish Lee) is hit by a cab but survives in the emergency room of a hospital. However, she sees Death chasing her, but she does not succeed in convincing the nurses. She is drugged and wakes up in St. Joseph, a mental hospital administrated by Dr. Brown (Brent Fidler). She finds five other inmates that had a near death experience and also claim that Death is coming for them, but Dr. Brown tells them that they are subject of a mass hypnosis experiment. Meanwhile, Rachel's boyfriend and student of medicine Liam (Benjamin Pitts) seeks her nearby the night-club. While trying to escape from the facility, Rachel discloses the truth about Dr. Brown and St. Joseph.The very low-budget "Grim Reaper" has a promising weird beginning, with the confused state of mind of Rachel after the accident. However, the story shifts to a terrible and inconsistent rip-off of "Final Destination", with a messy and ridiculous screenplay. There are many flaws in the story, but the worse are: (1) Liam finds Rachel in St. Joseph and runs with her downstairs trying to find an exit. (2) How Rachel decides that she must die and face the Reaper? (3) How could a student of medical school accept the words of his stripper girlfriend that seems to be deranged and kill her in a death experiment? (4) Why Cherish Lee takes of f her overcoat after defeating the Reaper? As a stripper, she takes off only the winds of angel of her costume. The scariest scene is the conclusion with Rachel in the bathtub with an open end and a hook for a sequel. I like independent low-budget movies and horror is my favorite genre, but the story and screenplay of Ellis Walker is a lack of respect with viewers and cast. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Ceifador de Almas" ("Reaper of Souls")

I got this movie just a day ago, and i must say that i regret that i bought it already. Maybe if i rented it, i would be able to laugh about it, but for the money that i paid, it just wasn't worth it. I feel robbed! The story isn't all that bad, in the right hands, and maybe a few minor changes, it could have been way better than this, i think. It's just that the dialoges and the acting in all seems so fake. The end was quite predictable, the boyfriends saves his girlfriend, blah blah blah. Too predictable.The bottom line: This movie was a horrible attempt to make a horror movie/Thriller. Most of the time you just shake your head over the poor acting, and the fact that "Death" makes you laugh every time he appears. If you're (like myself) like scary movies, horror, or thrillers, please don't see this!
