Fangoria Presents-Sin Reaper

GOOD FOR THE SOUL, BAD FOR THE HEART
Samantha talks pills and has nightmares that involve auto-drawing. Her nightmarish pictures are that of a monastery in German, or so her psychologist (Lance Henriksen) has been able to deduce. Samantha visits the monastery, which is now a museum to discover its past, being founded by a monk/knight/crusader who wanted to eradicate sin by killing the host. She meets people who help her discover her past while running away from the slasher on the cover.

The plot was fair. Samantha didn't go to Germany with friends, so she had new acquaintances help her, people who were never really developed. The slasher aspect wasn't anything special and Samantha was a bit of a buzz kill making for a film that never takes off. Fangoria likes quirky plot twists, which is why I like their films, even the ones I don't like. This one has a "twist" in the last 10 seconds of the film that raises more questions than it explains. Unfortunately, there was too much mediocrity in getting there...

Not great..not terrible
One of the Fangoria labels lesser efforts. A woman travels to a monestary in Germany to find the source of her nightmares. Someone in a crusader mask is picking off the tourists and museum workers with a sharp cross. Pretty basic stuff here. The film suffers from horrendous acting. Every time the asian female opened her mouth i cringed. Lance Henriksen is on hand as a therapist. An okay way to pass an hour and a half..just don't expect anything new or groundbreaking.
