For their part, Shudder and AMC+ present Night of the Reaper, directed by Brandon Christensen and co-written with Ryan Christensen. While the 80s aesthetic may be somewhat overused in modern horror, it’s done exceptionally well in Night of the Reaper. However, the minimal use of gore or on-screen violence is where Night of the Reaper deviates from its '80s inspiration. Overall, Night of the Reaper is a bit of a retread of other films, but it is still a slick, effective thriller. Night of the Reaper is available to stream on Shudder and AMC+ as of Sept. 19.
