Mirza M 'Night of the Reaper' is a competent 80s throwback slasher that tries something unexpected with the routine formula. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Patrick C An homage to horror films from the 80's, this finds Deena (Jessica Clement) returning to her hometown from college for the weekend when a local serial killer starts up again. I enjoyed the nostalgia of the film but I was very disappointed as it's a slasher film without the slashing. There were 2 previous murders by the killer before our main character enters the picture and even then, this is more of a detective story/finding out who the killer is without the killing spree to get the audience there. As such, it was a risk that didn't pay off in the end and the reveal was a letdown. More style than substance here. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Jeremy W Genuinely scary, with a nerve wracking buildup of tension in the second act followed by a welcome release from terror in the third. Neatly done, simply plotted and very enjoyable movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Gianna D. It was okay for what it is. Worst aspects in my opinion were the horrible dialogue and the audio quality made me feel like I was watching something dubbed. Hard to get immersed in the story for those reasons. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Jason W This was fantastic. Great esthetic, amazing acting, stellar story and twist. Don't have much negative to say. Loved it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review K T This is an effective horror movie. The beginning is not that scary and almost a little cheesy. But don't let that fool you. It's just laying the groundwork for the twist that's coming. This is not a big budget horror movie, but the strong performances and smart direction make it effective. By the time Deena (Jessica Clement) is at the sheriff's house babysitting his kid, it gets downright scary. I nearly had to shut it off at one point in the third act, and I'm not easily spooked. I give this one a thumbs up. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
