| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyIn a movie with no purpose beyond small-scale grotesque spectacle, I can only imagine its purpose as a cinematic waiting room for the end of the world where the guy in charge isn't capable of counting to ten. |

| Dallas Morning NewsCarla MeyerQuality battles schlock throughout The Reaping. That is, until the picture's final act, when schlock swarms quality like ... oh, let's not spoil the surprise. |
