No Man's Land:The Rise of Reeker Movie Review






No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker is a 2008 horror movie and a sequel to Reeker. It is directed by Dave Payne and stars Michael Muhney, Mircea Monroe and Robert Pine.

The movie begins in the 1970's.  A man sees a guy looking for a lift on the road. The guy turns out to be a weirdo. The man won't let him into his car. He drives into the weirdo with his car. He kills him.
The man is called the valley drifter. He is a salesman. He is talking to someone who isn't there. He cuts off the weirdo's tongue. A cop comes along and finds the blood on the car. He follows the man into a shack where there are all body parts around. The cop can't breathe in there but he gets the guy and handcuffs him. The man gives himself up and says that his work is done. The cops talk to him and he says that he heard a voice telling him that he needs to kill. The man gets executed. The cop becomes Sheriff  and the man comes back as Reeker.



Cut to present day. The same Sheriff, whose name is Sheriff Reed(Pine) is  handing over the reins to his son , Harris(Muhney). There is a new waitress working at the diner in the desert. Her name is Maya(Monroe). She finds blood in the bathroom. She tells her boss, but he says that they find weird stuff all the time. Three guys turn up. They have robbed a casino and they are on the run. One of them is bleeding. They take Maya hostage. One of them turns out to be her ex boyfriend, Alex(Stephen Martines) and the other two are Carlos and Binky(Desmond Askew). They need a car to escape.
The Sheriff sees them and there is a shootout. A woman comes out of the diner and says that she is a doctor and she can see to the wounded man. Maya has dropped the car keys in the drain out of spite. Now she has to find them. Things start to get really weird from here onwards.


A Native American man called Leonard Eaglesmith turns up at the diner and he says that he knows about evil spirits in this place. He gets himself some weapons. Harris goes off to get some help. Binky gets a car and he takes off. He hits an invisible wall and he gets hurt. His head comes apart.
He wanders around. Harris finds the old shack and he looks inside. Reeker is there. Reeker has Leonard and he is killing him. Harris gets back to the diner and tells the others. They wonder what is going on. Reeker starts killing people. The Sheriff sees Reeker. He recognises him as the man from the beginning of the movie. They need a plan. Sheriff Reed goes to the shack and he calls out Reeker. He gets knocked out and wakes up on the table in the shack where he is killed.


Reeker comes for the others. Alex sets a trap for him. They set up a bomb to blow him up. It works and they destroy Reeker. More cops show up and sees their bodies. Maya and Harris are alive. The others aren't. They were in some kind of dream world . Binky shot the Sheriff and the Sheriff fried his gun and hit a propane tank which exploded and killed others. The movie ends with a kid who is hearing voices telling him to do things. He kills his babysitter. This suggests that Reeker is not gone after all... This was an okay sequel to Reeker. It was not as good as the original and the story wasn't great, but it was enjoyable all the same. This won't amaze you or show you anything original but if you liked the first one, then you might enjoy this too! I will give it a 5/10.
