Time to brush up on your knowledge of the biblical plagues; it might help you through Dark Castle’s latest, THE REAPING, for which Warner Bros. has unveiled a new trailer here. Not based on an existing William Castle-directed spookshow, this one’s a Joel Silver-produced original directed by Stephen (THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS) Hopkins and penned by brothers Carey and Chad Hayes, who previously scripted Dark Castle’s HOUSE OF WAX redux last year. Hilary Swank leads the cast, taking her requisite post-Academy-Award-win horror role (see Halle Berry and Mira Sorvino before her). She plays a debunker of religious phenomena called to a small Louisiana town seemingly beset by the plagues. Look for coverage of THE REAPING in the pages of Fango next year.
