It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I saw this film while on holiday with a few of my friends and while I would love to illustrate my great taste through agreement with the general consensus that this film sucked, I don't think I can. This is quite possibly one of my favourite films of all time providing me with more laughs than any comedy film I've ever seen. The 40 year old actors that played the 'teens' were amazing in all the wrong ways and I am sure that it was film with a digital camera.Here are some things to look out for- * The old lady with the doll(?!)* The park warden (or whatever he is) who likes to look at EVERYTHING through binoculars* The odd man who sits down at the camp fire with the 'teens' sings a short song and then leaves immediately (probably the weirdest thing ever....) * The girl with the huge arse* The final scene with the dramatic chase. One of the guys enters a hut to escape from the reaper. The hut doesn't have solid walls and has huge gaps in the sides... however both fail to notice this and the reaper persists trying to enter through the door while the guy tries to stop him. This goes on for a long time before eventually the guy just jumps through one of the gaps....... (What is the point in this scene!?!)

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, once I found out Brinke was in it. Thus, I waited patiently....for 4 years! For a movie that took 4 years to be released, I expected much more, but I didn't receive that. It's your usual a group of twenty-something's, camping out in the woods, with a serial killer running around. Another thing that disappointed me was that "Scream Queen" Brinke Stevens was only in the first 5 minutes of this movie! Oh, what a let down. Anyway, there are some postives to this movie. The filming was professional. Although, shot on DV, the camera shots and editng were both strong, and the cast really did give it their all. My rating, 5 out of 10. It could've been much better, yet remains your typical, formulaic, slasher in the woods movie.

Blood Reaper (2003) is another crappy shot-on-digital-video movie that's stocked regularly at a local video chain store. I don't know why they stock these type of movies. They're plain terrible and for the most part unwatchable. I wish these films would just disappear from the face of the Earth. I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if they did.This "film" is about a gas masked serial killer (swiped from one of my 80's favorites My Bloody Valentine) who stalks fishermen and drunk "kids" who are stupid enough to camp is a very dry and polluted section of forest. The cast is largely unattractive and can't act a lick. The filmmakers must have spent most of the alloted budget on casting Brinke Stevens (Her best years have long since past). They sure get there money's worth from Ms. Stevens.A movie like this doesn't have to be so lame. All you need is a decent script, a couple of actors who can act and a competent director. Alas this film has neither. The cast wears tight pants, the lighting is poor at best and the editing is pitiful. Worst of all the pacing needs to be worked on big time. The movie is a little over 70 minutes (which is the bare minimum to be considered a feature length film) but it felt like a three hour epic (that's bad). Even though the film has a short running time, the film is heavily padded.If you come across this movie in the video store run away. It's not worth the time and effort to actually sit and watch this lame attempt at film-making. There's no hot women, no gory set pieces and no fun. Do yourself a favor and get an older movie instead.

The film is just that- an exercise in horror. Poorly executed, sure, but this is technically a film. I commend the filmmakers that they got a crew and cast together and finished this, but, it's just of the worst quality. We've seen it all before. And it's like it was shot with a $300 consumer miniDV camera. What I did enjoy, I really enjoyed- the creepy horror music and the DVD case- they both get A's. The campfire scene with the country singer was strange. The 'waking up and the killer is sitting outside' was weird. So was the scene with the director as sheriff walking through the forest with the reaper creeping around. The sped up footage of the woman getting in the boat (verged on Benny Hill territory there). And the creeper's shack... I could go on and on. This film is an inspiration to would-be horror auteur's because you too can pull off something like this.No doubt this gave the cast/crew a couple weekends of fun to pull off, but it needs to be better all around.
