Reeker is an almost perfect movie to watch in the middle of the night when it comes on semi-randomly on cable tv. It has a weird oneiric deserted desert motel vibe and embraces an inexpensive artificial high which proves sort of mellow but more potent than it might initially let on. If you are like me and you are addicted to mid-00's horror and yellow-and-green grain and intentionally shabby lighting systems conflicting and modulating each other, Reeker is there for you in your hour of need, which is somewhere after midnight but probably before four a.m. and if you doze off repeatedly or space out you can come to or check in and still be feeling it or keep watching…

childhood favorite alert right here folks. i’d catch this all the time as a kid on random tv stations, i’d have to put all the pieces together anytime they aired it because i would always tune in at random times and have pretty much always cherished it for the laughs it provided me. 

kid me deemed it the killer fart movie! on rewatch i came to appreciate more details about the reeker, he’s not a fart, but the smell of death! i love all of his whirring weapon gadgets, the way everyone coughs and gags when he appears, his gas mask that makes me wonder if he’s affected by his own stench, his nasty skeletal reaper appearance, his teleportation, i…

Good evening and welcome fellow Children of Chaos.

My first introduction to the Reeker character was the second movie, Rise of the Reeker or whatever, where his nature is played a lot less coy than here, but I guess if you ware watching a sequel it is good to assume your viewer has seen the twist in the first. And it is but I'm also a weirdo who does not give a fuck about the sequences of the movie.

A group of friends are being picked off by a monster who smells like a liquifying corpse, and seeing visions of people who are, well not…

Horror Hunt #47 (May 2022)

5. Spanish language
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, at least the film got the right name. Because it sure reeks of something.. And the spanish sure wasn't very prominent in this film. Another horror prompt wasted.

An utterly unconvincing group of friends are all set to drive out and attend a desert rave. They got the drugs and everything! But soon after the group decides to stop at a roadside diner, things start to get weird. Odd visions occur, and soon it becomes difficult to tell what is real or not. Don't do drugs or something, I guess.

This is one of those horror films that start building up suspense and tension.. and then it just keeps building…

There is a decent little film hidden somewhere in Reeker. It's main problem though is the fact that for the good majority of the film, it's just confusing. Now I'll give it that it does somewhat explain things in the last ten minutes, though this ending does reek (pun intended) of the ending to the film Dead End, but at no point during the first bulk of the film did I ever think “OK something bigger is going on here, let me think about it”. It kind of just plays out like your usual slasher film but with a few out of place bits. I think a second viewing would benefit it, but I can't see me every giving it…

My parents let me choose my name... when I was three!

Tenho um gosto bastante peculiar quando se trata de cinema. Gostei mais de Reeker do que de quase todos os filmes de Christopher Nolan. Isso não é provocação, é só honestidade. Acho que muita gente tem gostos estranhos, mas nem todo mundo tem coragem de assumir.

Dito isso, esse filme é uma porcaria. Mas é uma porcaria que diverte pra cacete. Os personagens são genéricos, porém simpáticos, o roteiro é simples, direto e funcional, e a ambientação acaba sendo o elemento mais interessante da experiência. É como se fosse um The Hills Have Eyes, só que sem as hills, ambientado em um cenário que lembra um mundo abandonado de…
