The movie tries to be really clever (twists coming along the way, most of them can be seen from a mile away, in contrast to what the characters can see in the movie). Of course characters in horror movies do stupid things, how else would they get into trouble if they didn't? But exclaiming "Let's follow that boat. And if there will be trouble, we will beat them up" (I didn't memorize the line and it's very likely very different in the movie, but not any better that's for sure) ... well it's not helping the movie or the characters.And definitely not helping anyone watching liking this movie any more. It doesn't seem to care about the characters, but about bringing home one twist, that actually is pretty stupid if you think about it (better not start thinking, because you'll hate it even more). There's is better movies out there, but you gotta admire the fact that they at least tried

The Reed's tells the story of six friends who plan a weekend boating trip through the Norfolk Broads but soon find themselves caught in the middle of the struggle between an old man and the very teenage life's he took many years ago. The spirits of the murdered teen's now haunt the old man and anyone who steps foot on the Corsair Star boat. I want to start off by saying that so far this is my favorite out of the latest batch of After Dark films. As most people know I love movies dealing with ghosts and the paranormal but unfortunately a lot of them are just done horribly. That is not the case with The Reeds which is a beautiful example of a movie based around a haunting. The acting in this film is very solid and the special effects are beautiful all of which appear to of been practical effects no CGI that I could spot so if it was in there it was done well and unnoticeable. The story really blew me away its hard for me to review this one without giving up important parts of the movie because I just loved the story so much and the way it progressed at a very nice steady pace ending in a very satisfying way. The plot twists were executed perfectly. The Reeds does an excellent job of building tension and unlike a lot of today's horror it also delivers at the end. It didn't feel rushed or like they weren't sure how to end it like a lot today's movies seem to be plagued with it was done very well and really left you with a wow feeling as you finish piecing together what you just witnessed. If you enjoy a good haunting movie with a strong storyline beautiful blood and gore where needed all rolled up in a neat package of pure horror enjoyment I highly recommend you pick up a copy of The Reeds. 8/10

A fairly generic group of interchangeable douche bags go on a boat trip that, obviously this being a horror film, doesn't go exactly as planned. Their ship gets trapped and they're terrorized by people who may or may not be ghosts. The movies lame, unscary, and charts an extremely familiar course. The characters are pretty much cardboard cut-outs that you don't really care if they live or die. An awful entry into the '8 films to die for' made all the worse because I saw the best of the bunch ("Mungo Lake") right before this bottom feeder. And to make matters worse it has an ending that makes the whole film moot anyways so don't even bother to watch it in the first place.My Grade: D-DVD Extras: Ads for EpixHD.com & Fear.Net; and Promo trailers for "After Dark: Horrerfest 4", "8 Films to Die for 3", "After Dark Originals", and trailers for "Saw 6" & this film

In his paper the Uncanny Freud noted our love of frisson and scaring ourselves. He would have appreciated the cunning way in which this film builds up and the nice setting of the boat. All are confined, all are defined here. Unfortunately nothing is known about Freud's taste in cinema. But The Reeds has many merits. There are moments when you really feel scared and disgusted. It managed to convey a sense that the doomed young on their doomed boat have been exiled from the outside world. The director and cameraman make the Norfolk broads are scary. The conclusion is surprising. So well worth a viewing and if it not quite pee in your pants terror it is definitely goose bumps. Well directed, well acted too.
