Why so much hype?

hyped garbage

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Oh God. Oh dear God. Where do I begin? I'll start by saying this is, perhaps, the worst movie I ever saw. It fails at every level. It's so bad, it's REALLY bad.No one in this movie, except Lance Henriksen, can act. He only makes a small appearance. I mean, imagine taking ten random people of the street, and give them an acting job. No, make that the worst of 10 people. No scrap that - imagine taking a dog from the street, learn him how to talk, and give him a leading role. No, that would be too funny. It's simply...horrible. The fact that Lance is in this, makes it even worse. Has anyone seen 'Suing the Devil' with Malcolm mcDowell? It is an extreme offset with the 'talent' of the other actors, who should desperately look for an other line of work. He keeps your brain active with false hope, so you stay awake during this nightmare, and suffer the full 100%. The constant 1 sec delay between their interaction, the way they deliver their lines...oh God...I - so - wanted to turn this movie off, but as a cruel joke to myself, I kept watching. It progressively gets worse. The movie starts of as an adventure - thriller, and about in the middle - way too late - after some tedious and failing character development/filler, makes a switch to a 'slasher'. You will care for NONE of the actors. You will NOT care about the slasher. You will NOT be satisfied when someone gets killed. Why are some actors where they are? Why did they go there? Who/why are other people there and doing what they do? Why do we have supposedly two 2 million dollar relics in a 'museum' housing only 2 pieces? why isn't ANYONE or anything guarding it? Everybody simply converges there, breaking in, at the same time - slasher, a random thief, our heroes; and the second group of heroes. No one can get out somehow, the only phone is cut, no one out of 10 or so people has a cell phone.The slasher's kills are the worst ever. I won't comment further to prevent spoilers, but...they are so stupid.The way they leave the slasher knocked out only to try an all-out attack later...the abnormal death-defying ease with which he walks towards guns (he has no powers at all)...the ruining of any hint pf realism with a 3 sec '3D' CGI...ohh...I couldn't have made a more aggravating movie if I tried. Recommended to give to someone you want to de-friend.

I picked this up for a few reasons, first of all great thespian Lance Henriksen is in it, secondly it was heavily promoted by Fangoria and third, it was shot in 3D. What could go wrong?Do I really need to answer this question? I have even seen the full uncut version but Lance was only for a few minutes in it, and just to state a few sentences. On part of the 3D I guess I must have missed something because I have only seen 1 second of 3D. And why this rather boring flick was promoted by Fangoria is still up to this moment a question only to be answered. Some say it had a Gothic feeling, it's not because it takes place in a monastery that it is Gothic! Some say it's a return to the old slashers. I don't think this is a slasher at all. Slashers contain POV shots, nudity and the female hero. Well, maybe the last part did fit in but overall I found Sin Reaper a total waste of time and there were a lot of moments that I thought, would it be a sin to turn this turkey off?Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Lance Henriksen, one of my favorite actors and the reason I've watched many films, like "Lost tribe", "Scream of the Banshee" or "Screamers: The Hunting". And "Sin Reaper of course".Now, excepting this God of cinema, the actors, their characters, the dialogue, all of them, are amateur style at its best. Camera work looks cheap, like I've seen in a lot of C movies lately, dunno where they get it, but they should stop a.s.a.p because it makes everything look silly and childish. Hard to take such movies seriously. The action is beyond words, the conflicts between the characters is something you see in your backyard, when kids are having some innocent fun, everything is a complete mess, it's just a tired formula, clichée, clichée, a killer that barely moves but is everywhere, a main character that annoys more than anything, some dramatic moments that had no place whatsoever... and so many other problems.I gave it a 3, because it had some potential, had some budget, even wanted to be 3D, so plans were made...and gone with the wind I guess. I will recommend you "It's in the blood", perfect little indie horror gem, has Lance Henriksen in it, and will keep you a lot more interested than this one.Sin Reaper, one of the reasons why horror cinema is sinking more and more...

This one surprised me. I wasn't expecting Mutch, but she was good. Overall the acting wasn't perfect, but acceptable... after all, it's an horror film! I wish Hendrickson was in it more, but that's the way low budgets work, I guess.It definitely had high production value considering it's a low-budget horror film. While it delivered on the cheesy parts I expect from a horror film, I was really surprised with the cinematography and overall art design. The location was a perfectly goth, and the Reaper was also a great creation. He may not be as iconic as the Scream mask, but certainly memorable.I've got to hand it to those Germans! Overall way better than I expected!
