Theres nothing out and out terrible aboutThe Gathering.

Its a solidly made film that takes a creepy premise and crafts a few jump scares out of it.

The plot ties up in a nice, neat way and theres a decent storyline running through it.

It also lacks the sense of humour that madeUrban Harvestso watchable.

The performances dont really help matters.

Its hard not to blame her really.

However, there are some neat suggestive shots in there too as Josiah cuts a swath through the cast.

Yes, in this film… scythe matters.

Still, at least everyone in the franchise seems to have learnt to stay away from Gatlin.

At least for now.

Musicality:As with the rest of the film, David Williams score is somewhat lacklustre.

A King thing:This is more of an interesting King connection than a trope.

Josiah was a faith healer during his life and travelled as a preacher.
