Stephen Hopkins directs The Reaping which is a very good supernatural thriller. Hillary Swank plays Katherine Winter who is an investigative scholar regarding paranormal events. She uncovers fraud and fake miracles. However, there are 10 biblical plagues that seem to occur in a very short period of time. The actors and special effects make The Reaping a movie that is worth seeing. There is a 20-minute stretch of non action that the director should have cut from the final version. On the bright side, Hilary Swank gives another talented performance.Plus, the ending is spectacular. I rate this movie with 4 stars.
