The Reaping (DVD)

This horror-de-luxe movie starring Hilary Swank is ingeniously based on the biblical Ten Plagues of Egypt.

Father Costigan (Stephen Rea) finds his photo collection burning very selectively. When he puts them together, they form the pattern of an ancient satanic astrological symbol, thought to represent motherly love.

At the same time elsewhere, Katherine Winter (Hilary Swank) and assistant Ben (Idris Elba) are investigating claims of a miracle. Katherine uncovers that toxic waste stashed in an underground oil well is causing the effects of the “miracle”, as well as infecting the local people.

When the local river turns red in the small town of Haven in Louisiana, and the redness is found to be real blood: Doug (David Morrissey) – a science teacher – begs Katherine’s help in discovering the reason for this happening. Meanwhile, Father Costigan is trying desperately to warn her of the evil happenings afoot. A demonic cult is sacrificing every second-born, in order to create a “perfect child” with “the eyes of the devil.”

Flies, disease, and frogs seemingly falling out of the sky then follow in close order…

Fire and brimstone gothic chiller set in the US bible belt. Professional sceptic of unexplained phenomena, Katherine Winter (Hilary Swank), is called in to investigate when a series of biblical plagues beset a small southern town. Thinking at first that she'll easily find human evidence in the occurrences, she soon comes to realise that there are some things that can't be explained away.
