In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I created this account for the sole purpose of making a comment to this piece of garbage. Whether you pay with money for this film is irrelevant, what it will cost you in disgust for this insult to cinema is not worth it.The movie gets 1 star for having an interesting idea for a story line. The story line is garbage, don't get me wrong, but it was an interesting premise that they messed up. I like fantasy films, I like sword and sandal films, and I like epics. This had all the exact categories of movie I like, and has lead me to believe I don't actually like those categories of film in themselves, I just like well made films.The fight scenes are pathetic. The music is the most horrible part about this thing, they repeat the same horrible effect again and again at random scenes, and then random ultra annoying music plays that has no bearing on the scene.The acting was loathsome. In every aspect, and everyone.Most of the movie is this: scenes of people running, scenes of people walking in chains, repeats of scenes that preceded the current one, again and again and again, and flashes of a guy with white hair, and him making evil faces.I tried skipping through the scenes like that to get to the story line, and it was completely not worth it, and the film gets cut to about 20 mins of garbage.There is almost no way a film can screw up like this film. Any sort of emotion in the film is so horribly forced, and the script so horribly cheesy and atrociously executed, that you have to cringe, which is difficult while you're double cringing from the acting and the music.My initial impression was that the main character put out to get the job, along with the script writer, but from the comments here, she is the one who directed and wrote it, so whoever gave her the money to make this was either insane or got what he paid for.I would go through the film and recall each detail of it to destroy it here, but I would rather never to watch a movie again then have to watch this. To critics that have to watch it again, be strong.I had to edit this after reading the obvious reviews from the cast here **Spoiler alert** from here on: "This "strength" is extended to many of the characters in REAPER, male and female alike. Female reapers are equal to their men, warriors all. Aella does not compromise who she is for Eris. She has body issues because of her demon blood, but as for her skills, her passion, and even her rage she gives no apologies to the man she loves. He loves her with all her fluidity, not despite it."That's right. It's not a movie, and they don't even bother to pretend now. It's just politics.

I would really like to give this a better rating, but sadly, I can't. I don't know if the good reviews here are coming from friendship or adoring Tara Cardinal, but they aren't to be taken seriously.Sorry Miss Cardinal, you had a lot of troubles to bring this project to life, and you did a big job, given the circumstances, and you had really a lot on your shoulders, but in the end the movie didn't turn out well.It reminds me of some productions from Romania about Vampires, but we all know, those aren't good movies. Blood Rayne itself is in my opinion much more watchable. Still, there are other similarities than story and red-headed vampire heroine, particularly when it comes to common weaknesses. But that's another topic and is not to be questioned here. The sword fights here are too slow, there is not much to enjoy with the action scenes. They are far away from their announced greatness, and when I remember "Monty Python And The Holy Grail" decades ago, the action there had more impact.Of course, for insiders or dedicated fans, and those who can actually oversee the flaws by knowing how low the budget was, the movie may be fun, but for one who is spoiled by modern fantasy productions (and willing to close one and a half eye) it is disappointing.Especially the big bad enemy, who should be at least a dark, disturbing one, he is only a weak Wraith Clone (Stargate Atlantis). White hair and a electronically manipulated voice isn't enough (since 20 years or so) to give a frightening impression.All post-production done for this movie in an attempt to give it a little atmosphere, a more modern look, will be useless until there is the harsh decision made to cut out at least 20 minutes of footage, to fasten the pacing and to eliminate bad scenes. Furthermore, the story has to be straightened in the process and disburdened from several dead weight. For instance, the envious sister of Aella could probably be eliminated since she has no impact on the story. I personally think that at least partially a new soundtrack would help. And even then, I don't know if those efforts would be sufficient. But I recently watched a movie where the soundtrack was about 60% of what it made watchable, so...."Legend of the Read Reaper" was not the worst movie I have ever seen. It's not even among them. But frankly, it's rare for me to rate only 3.

This movie is so bad you cannot even enjoy it for its badness. It is obviously a vanity project for the lead actor/director/writer Tara Cardinal. Unfortunately, Ms Cardinal is not very good at any of her jobs in this. Her acting, and the rest of the cast, was stiff and uninspired. The directing was amateurish. And the story was unoriginal.The only positive thing I can say is, I admire Ms Cardinal for having a dream and pursuing it. Unfortunately this was a dream not worth sharing.Mostly I found the movie distracting. I kept being distracted by the acting, which as I already stated was bad. Then there's the fight scenes, which looked like they were from a high school drama club production. The fights moved so slowly at points they looked like someone filmed the choreography rehearsal. And then there was the oddest distraction of all. The characters' names, Ganesh, Adonis, Freya? How did she think using names from a mishmash of mythologies would help the plot line?Ah, this movie is just a mess. I've actually been known to enjoy bad movies. Some of them can have a certain charm to them. But this movie has no redeemable qualities. As I watched Red Reaper I kept having one thought. How did Tara Cardinal ever get funding for this?

I watched the premier of "The Legend of The Red Reaper" last night and I was amazed. The action is fantastic, the acting is great, and the storyline is very compelling. Tara Cardinal did an unbelievable job making this film. It keeps you spellbound from start to finish. The fight sequences were extremely realistic, and the costumes and make-up gave a true feeling for the time period. What is so much fun is that this is a swashbuckling epic, but it is done with a woman as the hero and a perspective that definitely reflects a woman's point of view. I saw this at the Central Florida Film Festival and it won my vote for Best Picture. I hope this film quickly moves from the festival circuit to being available to the general public. It is truly a very watchable film and hopefully, the filmmaker, Tara Cardinal, will follow it up with another feature very soon.
