No Man’s Land: Rise of Reeker

No Man’s Land: Rise of Reeker is essentially both a prequel and a sequel to last year’s indie flick, Reeker. Reeker debuted to hugely positive reviews, so it’s no doubt that Rise of Reeker would be equally as astounding and competent. In Rise of Reeker, you learn how Reekers are born, or rather, how they’re made. Once you discover that, the movie takes you to a small desert town. A trio of casino robbers are about to get into a huge gun fight with the law, and as a result, lots of death and destruction occur. The people of the town suddenly have to deal with not only the ghosts of those tragically murdered in the incident, but also the presence of the Reeker, who was attracted to the smell of the massacre.

While the DVD release for the original film was not something you’d jump up and down over, Rise of Reeker completely makes up for it. In addition to the movie, the DVD features a segmented commentary track, which means everyone who was involved with the movie gets to have his or her say. You also get three featurettes which are of a nice length. These featurettes focus on the making of the film, to the fears of the cast and crew. Overall, horror fans, especially indie horror fans, should not miss No Man’s Land: Rise of Reeker.
