The Reaping
What Hath God Wrought?
A Christian missionary (Hilary Swank) who lost her faith after her family was tragically killed has since become a world renowned expert in disproving religious phenomena. But when she investigates a small Louisiana town that is suffering from what appear to be the Biblical plagues, she realizes that science cannot explain what is happening and she must regain her faith to combat the dark forces threatening the community.

Swank needs a new manager - abigllama
Hilary Swank is still an excellent actress but she can't save this crap fest. The mess of a story plods along with music video style visuals, random loud sounds to indicate a jump scare, but not much else. It's totally disjointed and boring and the piss poor CGI is at least good for laughs.
Best to avoid this one unless doing a study of Academy Award winners making poor career choices.The Reaping - julianrjh
Ooooooooooooooh boy does this movie stink! There really is nothing good to say about it, other than the cinematography is good. Nothing about it makes much sense, and it's completely over-complicated, the way many pseudo-religiously themed horror movies tend to be, and yet it feels completely hollow. It's a clunker - what was Hilary Swank thinking?Fright-filled fun - the_boobears
This movie offers the perfect mixture of creepy and disturbing for those inclined to such entertainment. The plot relies heavily on special effects and the viewer's own imagination to deliver thrills and suspense.
Hilary Swank delivered a passable portrayal of a former missionary sent to investigate sinister goings-on in the louisiana backwaters. Newcomer AnnaSophia Robb gave a surprisingly captivating performace (without uttering a word) as a child trapped in the centre of a series of biblical plagues. In the end, as always with this genre of film, it turns out that what truly should be feared is not god, but man.
