Goofs:
Continuity: Loren's brother, Brody McConnel, is found dead near the river. Upon seeing the body in a far state of decomposition after only three days, Doug tells Ben that "it happened suddenly; he was fine this morning." However, when we see the event happen in Katherine's vision, we see that Brody was instantly transformed into a partially composed body when he died at the river.

Just got back from seeing The Reaping and I must say it was better than I expected. After reading the critics reviews and reading a majority of the user comments I thought this movie was going to be a real dog. One of the complaints was about the poor special effects. I've never been too impressed with CGI in the first place, but this was as good as any I've seen lately. It has never looked real to me in any movie. As far as the storyline not being original, what film has been original in the last few years. There has been so many movies made in the last 80 years or so that it's gotta be difficult to come up with a never used theme at this point. I also believe when you have an actor the caliber of Hilary Swank in a movie they are held to a higher standard and are thusly criticized more harshly than others if their movies aren't stellar. Give this one a try and judge for yourself.
