The Reaping
Katherine Morrissey, a former Christian missionary, lost her faith after the tragic deaths of her family. Now she applies her expertise to debunking religious phenomena. When a series of biblical plagues overrun a small town, Katherine arrives to prove that a supernatural force is not behind the occurrences, but soon finds that science cannot explain what is happening. Instead, she must regain her faith to combat the evil that waits in a Louisiana swamp.
Critics Sentiment
Katherine and Ben arrive in Haven and see the red river
The mayor and his staff die from the boils plague
The film drops significantly from the promising early plague sequences to the tedious middle act exposition and backstory segments
The Reaping starts promisingly with an intriguing science vs religion premise and effective visual presentation of the bloody river. However, it suffers from a severely lagging middle act filled with unnecessary backstory and romance that kills the horror momentum. The film recovers somewhat in its final act with better effects and revelations, though most reviewers found the twist predictable.
