I wacth this movie of Hilary Swank last night, The Reaping this movie has an interesting concept to it as the idea of most of the movie is based off plagues that occurred in the bible back in moses time. The film opens with Father Costigan (Stephen Rea) finding his photo collection burning very selectively. When he puts them together, he finds they form a pattern of an upside down sickle, with a cross through it.
Katherine, a former Christian missionary who has become a ‘miracle debunker’after a tragedy happened to his family on her mission somewhere in Chile. Katherine uncovers a cache of hazardous waste illegally stashed in an underground oil well, which has ruptured and is causing the effects of the ‘miracle’, as well as infecting the local people.
As the leading expert in disproving religious phenomena, KATHERINE return to Louisiana town, And she receives a call from Father Costigan, who warns her that it was her face burning in his photographs and that it is a warning from God. Katherine ignores the warning, a science teacher from the small town of Haven, begs Katherine’s help in finding a reason for the local river turning red (1st plague), which the locals believe is a plague caused by a twelve year old girl who witnessed (and they think caused) her older brother’s death.
when they examined the river they see dead frog falling into the lake(2nd plague), while preparing their dinner they encounter flies (4th plague)on their way to the market to see were the fish gets a cows smashed to their truck, and they see many many cows died cause of the disease(5th plague),
this story appears to be getting all the biblical plagues she realizes that this cannot be explained away and the only way to face it is to regain her faith to god to fight against this evils.
