Stars: Tony Todd, Sally Kirkland, Douglas Tait, David Beeler, Joel Bryant, Stacey Carino, Richardson Chery, Adam David, Jemal Draco | Written and Directed by Kimberly Seilhamer
An albino, a deaf mute, a jock, a fat kid, a sexually-abused girl and a token “Angry Asian” chick all get on a bus… Sounds like the start of some strange non-pc joke right? Well it’s not. It’s actually how writer/director Kimberly Seilhamer chooses to open her directorial debut Jack the Reaper - a great pun which is lost in the films re-titling to merely The Reaper.
The film follows a group of teenage stereotypes all forced into Saturday detention in the library at the railroad museum (really?) after failing to turn in a paper on the Industrial Revolution. What one has to do with the other I’m not sure – well the railroad was important in getting the products of industry across the Us right.
