 Olfactory mayhem! November 22, 2008
There's something familiar here; the attractive students, out to have fun but instead finding themselves stranded at a remote location where, before you know it, the flesh begins to fly. Reeker starts out much like a dozen other slasher movies but there's more on offer here than in most other examples. This is an accomplished independent movie that successfully revisits the genre, adding a good dose of humour along with an inventive ghoul, plenty of atmosphere, and assured direction. There's also a tricksy denouement that pleases provided you don't analyse it too deeply. The movie's main flaw lies in the characterisation, which is a little weak. A stronger lead protagonist would have driven the plot more convincingly.
 Gory and thrilling November 11, 2008
I'm surprised at all these bad reviews. I thought it was really awesome, especially the story line. The only thing I was surprised with was how the blind guy survived. He got drilled in his head and wasnt wearing a seatbelt when she flipped over the car. But I really liked that I may buy it.

Reeker is in my list of good horror. It's not genius by any means, yes the idea has already been done. But as horror fans know great ideas get done over and over again until they become annoying or just plain stupid. There is never a dull moment whether it was the humor, the tension, good gore scenes, or the character developement. We have five teenagers that are all very different, A blind guy, a skater, a goody too shoes girl, a druggy, and a girl that likes to have fun. They are all interesting characters that can be quite funny. The druggy scream has to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen or the fact that he doesn't believe the blind guy is blind for a long time, so he sends him into the ladies bathroom. I honestly think as a horror fan you have to have a very open mind. Otherwise you miss out on 90% of horror. Not all films can be as perfect as The Exorcist.
We start out with a family driving down the highway with the mom and son playing I spy. When the son states he spies something with a D, they slam into a deer in the road. After getting control of the vehicle they pull over to see the damages that occured. When the dog disappears the father goes to look for him. After a few seconds the dog comes back as only half a dog, the bottom half no longer attached. A moment of looking at the dog the mother goes to get up when her husband is standing in front of her with only half a face. The scene is ended with the father getting dragged away. After the family getting decimated we have five teenagers that are on their way to a party. They stop at a resturant to grab some food, then start off on their adventure . When the druggy states that he has enough pills on him to get a hundred people screwed up the girl driving drives him back to the resturant to find another way home. When trying to drive away they find they have run out of gas. Looking to find if someone has some gas they learn that the resturant is now deserted. So they decide to spend the night at the place until someone can find help. Not knowing the terror that awaits them, the five teenagers soon find out that there is something far beyond their comprehension waiting for the right moment to end their existence. Who can survive this unknown presence?
I usually never tell that much about a film, but I believe that the first scene in the movie is the best scene. There is also a toilet scene that horror fans will enjoy. There is some originality to Reeker, which makes up for the fact of it taking ideas from other great films. I do recommend this to everyone that can appreciate all horror.

In "Reeker", when a few young adults break down at a deserted motel in the middle of nowhere, something starts to reek, but no where near as bad as this movie reeks. While the plot seems to be set up for what could be a decent horror movie, the movie obviously never took itself too seriously by virtue of the extreme gore scenes that were sadly unrealistic to the point of being comical as well as terrible acting in situations where the characters act ridiculous making terrible jokes in what are supposed to life and death situations.
There is a twist at the end, but with this twist, "Reeker" basically rips off another movie that I will not mention as that will completely give the movie away, not that it would be much of a loss. Suffice it to say, the other movie did it better although the ending basically makes the movie pointless in my opinion, anyway.
Named aptly enough, "Reeker" is a real stinker of a movie that is really complete and total waste of time. Completely devoid of anything that remotely resembles being scary or horrifying, "Reeker" is undoubtedly a movie for the light-hearted teenagers with no real taste for horror and definitely not for the serious horror movie fans who are looking for a scary movie. Moreover, as I have said so many times before in my reviews, just because a movie is different and weird does not make it a good horror movie or a good movie at all for that matter.
With Stinker, sorry, I mean, "Reeker", I found myself bored stiff with wooden acting, ill-advised comic relief, bad direction, ill-advised plot and story direction, completely incompetent plot execution, and just an overall really bad movie. Folks, simply put, this movie smells bad, and I would advise you to steer clear...your nose will thank you.
Twisted, gross fun! December 3, 2007

What a fun ride! The beginning is freaky. The middle is a bunch of teens getting killed in bizarre ways. (Can't go wrong with that!) And the ending brings it all together and you say, "Wow! I have to watch it again! Now I get it!"
