The Reaping (2007)
As a proselytization tool, this series of Biblical bitchslaps in horror garb is at least less unpleasant (and thus preferable) to The Passion of the Christ, holding out belief in the miraculous as it does. Otherwise, I don't think I can say anything about this other than: Stupid, stupid, stupid! Also, I kinda wish it had followed the ugliest part of its plot to its bitter resolution rather than pulling the cop-out twist. At least that would have been different and memorable. Hilary Swank seems determined to kill time between Oscar-winning roles by starring in the most retarded films available. (Remember The Core?)
Grade: C
