Reeker is a horror/mystery film about a group of people who hardly know each other travel together to a rave in the desert when things take a turn for the worse. After finding their way back to a motel they stopped at, they are surprised to see that everyone has vanished, with no signs of how or why. The only person they find is a middle aged man in a Winnebago looking for his wife. And to top it off they are being stalked by a ghostly masked figure who smells revolting and trying to kill them all.
Reeker is a very entertaining film, I can't remember a time where I was bored or I wanted it to end. Within the first few minutes you get to see what kind of film this is going to be, gory with great effects, and you get both of these done very well with people getting killed in rather imaginative ways.
The music is standard horror fare, but it's the setting and the cast that elevate this film above standard teen horror. The cast work well together and the addiction of veteran actor Michael Ironside only adds to the credibility. The location in which most of this is played out is creepy and disturbing, somewhere you definitely won't be wanting to stay the night! And the monster is suitably scary, especially when you see what it looks like, very impressive for a low budget film.
The plot (and twist) are similar to a film with John Cusack in it called Identity. A group of strangers holed up in a motel, with people getting knocked off and they have to discover who is behind it. And as with that film, you can kinda see the twist coming, but this isn't a major flaw and doesn't take away from the good points this film has.
You get the usual things as extras, a 'Making Of' featurette, cast and crew biographies and various trailers, Ok but nothing ground-breaking. It's also quite cheap as well so yet another reason to buy it!
Overall a very solid entertaining horror flick which I would recommend to any horror fan!
