My Rating

Five students driving through the desert encounter the inescapable stench of death in director David Payne's retro-inspired slasher/monster/supernatural horror hybrid. The highway has been inexplicably closed, forcing five young travelers into a mysteriously abandoned travel oasis where they are soon confronted with disturbing visions of maimed travelers. Disturbed by the grisly series of visions and determined to escape the spooky motel and diner before whatever killed the previous customers

Reeker is so cinematically bi-polar that it should come with a complementary prescription for Lithium.

Is it dramatically worse than other run-of-the-mill horror/mysteries? Nope. But that's hardly a ringing endorsement.

Usually trailer reels do not warrant a mention, but there is the unmistakable whiff of irony in the inclusion on this DVD of a preview for Perfume.

There's one basic problem here: this horror flick isn't remotely scary.

Fun horror film, although I wish it would've been gorier. It just had the right feel to be an all out gore fest, and I was disappointed how much they shied away from some potentially creative, bad-ass kills.
