De voormalige missionaris Katherine Winter is volledig van haar geloof afgestapt sinds haar familie op tragische wijze door moord om het leven kwam. Vanaf dat moment staat haar leven in teken van het ontkrachten van het christelijke geloof. Wanneer zij echter een reeks mysterieuze gebeurtenissen in een kleine stad in Louisiana gaat onderzoeken, komt ze tot de conclusie dat de wetenschap niet overal een antwoord op heeft... (Warner Bros. Pictures)

A criminal waste of the potential of the Egyptian plagues. It could have been first-rate horror, but the meek execution sent The Reaping to the realm of the average. It’s a pity, not even Hilary Swank could pull it to four stars, she was pretty good.

Stephen Hopkins has unfortunately withered away similarly to John McTiernan, for example. There were times when he was able to direct thrilling films like Predator 2, or even better adventures like The Ghost and the Darkness. Unfortunately, time passes faster than one would want, and since then, he has obviously forgotten how to make a quality film. In terms of atmosphere, The Reaping is relatively decent, but the well-built story structure turns into something indescribably silly and pompous in the second half, with several interesting sequences completely wasted. I don't understand what a talented actress like Hilary Swank is doing here, and David Morrissey's character is nothing special, either. His role in the finale is the essence of idiocy, even someone after lobotomy would understand that something isn't right half an hour before the end.
