4.0The Reaping harvests souls of the religiously devoted by subjecting them to this. “What hath God wrought?”. If ever there was a tagline that would instantly persuade audiences to leap up from their sofas, drive to the nearest cinema complex and purchase a couple of tickets, it’s this one.

6.0Watchable enough supernatural horror (in the vein of The Omen I guess), there's not a whole lot that was memorable save maybe for the finale. Hilary Swank felt like she was mailing it in as I didn't have much emotion in spite of her character's tragic background while Idris Elba, as great of an as he is, didn't make much of a mark and felt wasted. Can't say I was once scared but in fairness, these type of horror movies rarely do much for me. **2.75/5**
