Grim Reaper (2007)

Simply A Masterpiece

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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!

I am so disappointed but still giving it 3 out of 10. First of all heroine is a stripper who whenever thinks, thinks herself either with her boyfriend on bed or naked in bath. Really disgusting. Story line is not awful but the direction and dialogs are extremely weak. She said "ANYBODY, SOMEBODY, LIAM" Millions of time in this movie and all the time, emotionless. The special effects are so amateur that my 8 year old brother can tell that its funny. And again the whole film was predictable and i presumed before every scene that it was going to happen. So Bad. Grim Reaper is a ghost type creature and when she her her boy friend hide behind crates right in front of the Grim Reaper, the Stupid ghost did not see them. Please Please Please do not see this movie in theater

This is a response to Mr.Cagney's "review" ,which basically called anyone who has ever written a negative review here an "uneducated" half-wit.You see,his main criticism was that people didn't watch the entire movie before critiquing it,and even if they did, they weren't in the cast or crew, and therefore were not entitled to speak on the subject.His comments led me to believe that he was an extra,or otherwise had some "inside" information entitling him to a sense of superiority over those not directly,no matter how insignificantly,involved in film-making.Furthermore,he postulates,that unless an opinion is specifically solicited,it should not be ventured.Ironically,he himself had not seen even a microsecond of the particular film in question,and so far from making an apology for his inconsistency,he boasts of it as a point of merit to his argument!I guess I will have to state the obvious and school the illustrious thespian;There are too many movies around too see them all,therefore a means of FILTERING is required,thus-REVIEWS.We CAN'T rely on the cast and crew of these films to supply them,because of conflict of interest(did I have to say it?).As far as his unsolicited argument,a movie review blog is an IMPLICIT solicitation ,INDB does not have to individually e-mail it's membership requesting a review.Sorry to pontificate,but the arrogance of that guy disturbed my otherwise peaceful reading of the reviews.Keep it up,there are some good writers among you all.

I took this film out because I've been writing a script that happens to deal with the Grim Reaper (in a sense at least) and I wanted to make sure I wasn't ripping anybody off. Plus I like to check out other low budget indie horrors.In general, I think the flack it's getting is a bit extreme. It's obviously a low budget movie and by no means a terrible one.PROS: Great editing/pacing (the film moves very well and has a terrific energy to it)Good lighting - sets the mood quite wellGood technical direction - camera movies effectively, some scenes are staged quite wellGood sound design - very creepy and ominousCONS: Mixed acting - at times its all right, at other times, its unacceptably, um, bad.Plot - it's too familiar and too silly for its own good. And the twist with the doctor, is so ridiculous, it has to be seen to be believed. Characters - just not unique or fleshed out enough to be satisfying. Overall, a reasonable B horror movie. 4.5/10
