Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Absolutely Fantastic

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The poor development of the plot requires frequent narration. The Red Reaper (Tara Cardinal) who is half human, half demon was sold into slavery to the demons by her mother (Eliza Swenson). She prattles on about prophecy and battle with the demons and protecting humans, but the early story is about her love for Eris (David Mackey) and the competition for his hand.The attempts at humor were pitiful. The writing was bad. The fighting choreography was ridiculous. Red is very "girly" in her moves and it is hard to imagine her as a fighter. There are flashbacks to torture. The demon scales on her back seem to be an issue. She has a recovery scene that was long and boring. Difficult to sit through.Favorite line: "Using my pants as a tourniquet was a good idea."Has some unintended cheese value. Not worth renting.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

I would really like to give this a better rating, but sadly, I can't. I don't know if the good reviews here are coming from friendship or adoring Tara Cardinal, but they aren't to be taken seriously.Sorry Miss Cardinal, you had a lot of troubles to bring this project to life, and you did a big job, given the circumstances, and you had really a lot on your shoulders, but in the end the movie didn't turn out well.It reminds me of some productions from Romania about Vampires, but we all know, those aren't good movies. Blood Rayne itself is in my opinion much more watchable. Still, there are other similarities than story and red-headed vampire heroine, particularly when it comes to common weaknesses. But that's another topic and is not to be questioned here. The sword fights here are too slow, there is not much to enjoy with the action scenes. They are far away from their announced greatness, and when I remember "Monty Python And The Holy Grail" decades ago, the action there had more impact.Of course, for insiders or dedicated fans, and those who can actually oversee the flaws by knowing how low the budget was, the movie may be fun, but for one who is spoiled by modern fantasy productions (and willing to close one and a half eye) it is disappointing.Especially the big bad enemy, who should be at least a dark, disturbing one, he is only a weak Wraith Clone (Stargate Atlantis). White hair and a electronically manipulated voice isn't enough (since 20 years or so) to give a frightening impression.All post-production done for this movie in an attempt to give it a little atmosphere, a more modern look, will be useless until there is the harsh decision made to cut out at least 20 minutes of footage, to fasten the pacing and to eliminate bad scenes. Furthermore, the story has to be straightened in the process and disburdened from several dead weight. For instance, the envious sister of Aella could probably be eliminated since she has no impact on the story. I personally think that at least partially a new soundtrack would help. And even then, I don't know if those efforts would be sufficient. But I recently watched a movie where the soundtrack was about 60% of what it made watchable, so...."Legend of the Read Reaper" was not the worst movie I have ever seen. It's not even among them. But frankly, it's rare for me to rate only 3.

This is one of those movies where the reviews have all been written by cast and production crew. In actual fact the acting is sub standard and my Staffie could have acted better. The fight scenes were shocking, slow and very very unrealistic. The cast has not one decent acting bone between them.I wish these amateurs would stop churning out rubbish z-movies and save their weekly pocket money up until they can afford to do something decent. The lead actress herself is not talented enough to be a lead and not that pleasing to the eye either.The days of a good sword and sorcery movie are over.Please delete this obscenity from all databases. It is truly terrible.

From the legendary looks and across the board talent of the Tara Cardinal along with epic pacing, story line, and imagery this film sets itself up to win from the start. If you are wanting to see the next strong woman you must see her on the silver screen. High marks on everything from make-up, stunts, story, to the entire cast. An instant classic that is sure to become a must watch and own for all fantasy fans.Break out the pop corn and get ready to see an epic story with this movie. This red haired warrior maiden will carry you off to a world of strength and honor. She has found her purpose and nothing is going to stand in her way except maybe herself.
