    Better than expected.

    Well i must admit on first glance the title just screamed low budget direct to video crap(ive seen plenty!)But to my surprise it was highly enjoyable,the characters were fairly likeable although mainly unknown,including a decent supporting performance from movie stalwart Michael Ironside.Rookie director Dave Payne certainly knew how to create tension despite the mainly one shot location,and there were some good jumps in a lot of scenes.The ending is good though i did guess it about 25 mins into the film,its similar to another horror i saw a couple of years ago.Recommended to all horror fans,just dont let the title put you off!!

    Reeker

    My expectations of this movie were low to say the least. Admittedly I may have been a bit previous in dumping it straight into the 'teen slasher' box, but when I sat down to watch 'Reeker' I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary.

    The plot is all too familiar; a group of teenagers get stranded in the middle of nowhere and something starts killing them off one by one. A familiar recipe to say the least, but it's one that works and one that really shouldn't be altered or added to.

    Here's where 'Reeker' bit off more than it could chew.

    The ending was both incredibly predictable, and very immature in it's execution. The writer decides to not only make a revelation, but to then give you a spoon-fed explanation of each element of it, just in case you didn't quite grasp it the first time round.

    The special effects are undeniably impressive however, and there are some genunely tense scenes, but all of this is marred by the poor acting and awful dialogue.

    Ultimately, 'Reeker' is nothing more than a teen slasher movie that got ideas above its station and tried to stand out, only to have its wrists slapped by its mother and get sent to its room to watch 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' until its eyes bled.
