Jack the Reaper Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
One_slice_of_pizza This film was produced by mad crapper productions (seriously, why would you name a production company, mad crapper anyway?) which does not surprise me why this film is totally crap.What kind of a genius would write a slasher script where NOTHING happens for the first 60 MINUTES???? Yes, almost 60 minutes! Not 3-5-10 or even 20. I understand the character development but boy, you could develop the frigging citizen kane in 60 minutes, leave aside a slasher movie character.You can maybe now understand how bad this movie is. From start to finish it's a painful 80 something minutes and even if you can bear till the end, you will see that you were right about guessing the stupid twist coming from 60 miles away.The story is about a bunch of high school students who are on a school trip to study the industry revolution and on the way, they encounter with a maniac who starts offing them one by one with a pick axe.Although the story sounds like a regular teen slasher, the script and directing is so bad that it makes it almost impossible to watch it till the end. The characters are extremely annoying and very unattractive for a screen cast, makes you wonder if they all accepted to play for free, in exchange of an IMDb credit.I don't know you, but I love slashers mainly because of the high tension, original killings, hot chicks and surprise twists. I can assure you that this movie has NONE of them. All the killings are off screen, a little bit of blood is spattered on the camera, that's all the visual effects you get from this flick. There's no nudity or gore or any actress whom you may think she is a cliché hot slasher chick.Now I'm not saying that heads should explode, guts should be torn or the students should go for an orgy, but why the hell are you bothering to shoot a slasher movie, if you are not going to show any of the killings??? This is like shooting an action movie where the camera never shows an actor actually firing a weapon! All in all, please do not let the fake rave reviews written by the cast and/or their families trick you. You are really better watching your turd float in the toilet ,rather than watching this one. Just forget about it and watch something else instead.Unbelievably awful acting, directing and script!1/10
chris-620-439236 This film drew me into the horror genre the way no other could I've always been more into SciFi but there was something about it that drew me in. was it the Star names attached to it? was it the haunting Music in the trailer? or was it the top showing at Canes Indie? whatever it was Ms. Seilhamers enticing script and characters (both those played by the stars we know and the ensemble who are sure to be stars in their own right)kept me on the edge of my seat and showed me that even the most innocent of us has a dark side. She follows a format that I've come to see as reminiscent of classic 80s slasher films but brings it to life (death?) with a formula all her own. I look forward to more to come from this director who i see has already made quite the splash in the writing field of this industry and the stars both current and future involved in this slasher-thriller masterpiece!
creeksidefam Yes, classic horror lives again. Jack the Reaper is truly a throwback to classic horror. Think Hitchcock...I did.I especially loved the character development not often seen in today's horror films. You develop an understanding of each character and what brought them to their reality and anxiously relate to them. This film is directed with beautiful attention to detail and creates an associative imagery that provides foreboding clues. I really got pulled in! Whereas there is a good amount of profanity in this film, at times it actually provides some much needed comic relief. I can easily see the potential (and HOPE HOPE HOPE) for many more Reaper adventures...or misadventures. I, for one, can't wait!
gryle This movie sits very comfortably in its genre. I love horror films and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Tony Todd is always a pleasure to watch, and I would have liked to have seen more of him. We can only hope for a sequel or two that brings him back in this role.The story centers around a group of high school students whose Saturday field trip goes to hell when their bus crashes in the desert with nothing in site but a creepy abandoned carnival. Writer/director Seilhamer has created a fascinating world of "The Reapers", who mysteriously appear when it's someone's time to go, and answer only to the one they call "Mother". This film introduces us to Railroad Jack, a particularly creepy Reaper with a fondness for his pickaxe.I thought the plot and back-story were quite original, and there are some solid performances among the young cast. Excellent make-up and pretty impressive use of effects considering the ultra-low budget.Considering how badly these kinds of movies can turn out sometimes, this one was a very refreshing surprise. I solidly recommend it!! You won't be disappointed.
