The Reaping (2007)

In the heart of the Bible belt country, deep within the enigmatic bayous of Louisiana, lies the quaint town of Haven. A town that seems to be anything but safe after the mysterious death of a child sends ripples of fear, triggering a series of inexplicable events echoing the biblical plagues. This unusual conjunction sends a chill down the spine of its residents and beyond, attracting the attention of the atheistic Katherine Winter. Once a devoted Catholic missionary, Katherine's faith crumbled in the arid plains of Sudan, where she lost her family, victims of a merciless drought and the ire of the locals who blamed them for the calamity. Now, she channels the remnants of her faith towards debunking religious phenomena, striving to uncover the scientific rationale behind each event. When Haven's tranquil river grotesquely transforms into a river of blood following the child's death, Katherine, alongside her open-minded student turned personal assistant, is beckoned to the town to investigate. Not long after her arrival, the biblical plagues begin to unravel one after another, each more disturbing and inexplicable than the last, leaving Katherine and the town's inhabitants in a state of dread. As the ominous chain of events unfolds, Katherine finds herself in a perplexing maze of faith, science, and fear, where the line between reality and superstition blurs. The disturbing events in Haven challenge her skepticism, leading her towards an unsettling truth that questions her perceptions and the real evil that lurks within the town's dwellers. The Reaping weaves a tale that bridges the chasm between faith and science, and explores the terrifying potential of belief gone awry.

The Reaping is a horror movie featuring Hilary Swank.
