The cumulative effect is likely to make viewers weary, but not so weary that they can't manage a chuckle or two during the film's cheesed-out final minutes.

The Reaping
Thousands of years ago, there was a series of bizarre occurrences that many believe to have been the Ten Biblical Plagues. No one thought they could happen again. Until now.

I prophesy an early exodus from cinemas.

What could Swank really have done with such a cliche-ridden screenplay, except turn it down?
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
The Reaping isn't quite bad enough, or even New Testament enough, to qualify as a sign of the impending apocalypse. But by the time it's over, you know you're getting close.
Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
Rotten
A slick-looking but incredibly schlocky horror film.
