A slasher with a fresh twist and a retro vibe.

Brandon Christensen's new horror film is an innovative slasher with well-executed ideas that make it highly recommended. It stars Jessica Clement and Ryan Robbins.Its director presents us with a slasher with a very '80s style, not only because it's set in that decade, but also because of its distinctly analog approach. It's a film that feels retro in every way, highlighted by a memorable soundtrack and nostalgic art design that adds even more charm to what we see on screen.We're faced with a straightforward, straightforward offering that doesn't present any major complications, but which takes advantage of its varied twists to highlight its powerful Final Girl, played outstandingly by Jessica Clement. Its cast also contributes to the film's solidity. It also offers a very gratifying opening sequence with Summer H. Howell and some villains who are quite interesting to watch.It's a film that fulfills its purpose; it may not be the best of its genre this year, but the director's intention to offer something fresh to the audience is evident. In my opinion, the film delivers with enthusiasm, although, of course, it has some weaknesses. However, at no point does the story seem to stray. It's a journey that keeps you attentive and, above all, enjoying what's on screen.It could have been much more well-rounded, but it chooses to prioritize its plot twists, a choice that at times takes away some of the impact it truly deserves.A recommended film for fans of the slasher genre: it delivers, it entertains, and it genuinely makes you jump out of your seat.

Flashes of potential, but overall forgettable. Best as background noise for a late-night horror binge.

Shudder continues its love affair with retro-inspired horror with Night of the Reaper, a slasher that blends 80s atmosphere with modern cinematography and sprinkles of found footage. On paper, this sounds like a recipe for a standout throwback, but what we end up with is a mixed bag... an uneven ride with some genuinely effective moments and a whole lot of missed opportunities.The film opens strong, babysitter Emily alone in a house, mysterious notes left behind, and objects moving out of place. It's a clever cat-and-mouse setup that nods to the classic babysitter and the man upstairs urban legend. The film feels like something right out of the V/H/S/ playbook, which makes sense since the killer's calling card is leaving VHS tapes documenting his stalking and murders. The inclusion of those tapes builds tension early on, and when the local sheriff gets pulled into a scavenger hunt tied to these killings, the film hints at a more layered story than your average slasher.Unfortunately, the momentum fizzles and not after the opening either, during it. The middle section drags with a fairly average story and underwhelming kills, and the movie doesn't regain steam until the third act. By then, some fun twists arrive, but it feels like too little too late.Here's where the film stumbles in slasher fundamentals:1. The Mask: A slasher needs an iconic mask or look. Here, the killer uses something that feels too generic. Sure, it's "realistic," but realism isn't memorable. Horror fans live for the striking imagery you'd see plastered in old Fangoria ads.2. Kill Bait: Slashers thrive on characters you either care about or love to hate-people you invest in emotionally, one way or another. Night of the Reaper lacks that, leaving the kills without impact.3. The Kills Themselves: They're tame, forgettable, and restrained to the point of being bland. If the intention was gritty realism, the execution falls flat. Films like Creep or Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer show how you can make "realistic" disturbing. Here, you never feel truly threatened or unsettled.... you just... watch.By the finale, things finally click into gear. The twists are engaging, and the energy ramps up, which makes you wish the entire film had leaned into that intensity. But by then, you've sat through a lot of middling buildup.On a side note, it's hard not to notice how much attention the camera gives to the final girl's ass. It feels like the filmmakers wanted to include a little old-school exploitation-style T&A, but forgot the "T" part. Intentional or not, it becomes a distraction and not the good kind (well maybe).Night of the Reaper is a decent one-time watch for diehard slasher fans who want something atmospheric to play in the background, but it never truly delivers on the promise of its setup. The ending shows what the film could have been, but the ride there is too uneven, too toothless, and too uninspired to stand out in the crowded slasher landscape.

Mixed bag. But some decent performances especially from some of the supporting cast
