When the Grim Reaper needs a new apprentice, who better to turn to than his own teenage daughter. And then again, who worse? Taking Little Reaper (Athena Baumeister) from her locked room, Grimm (John Paul Ouvrier) asks for one thing, for her to take her inheritance seriously. Forget the drama’s, the teenage tantrums and the boyfriends. It’s time to be responsible and take over the duties of the reaper.

 

 

With the promise of being ungrounded, she takes the chance to collect the souls of the dead for one day. That is if the daily distractions of being a teenager don’t get in the way first. And first on the list of things to do… swap that scythe for a mobile phone.

 

 

Charmingly built on a platform of teen drama and sickly sweet spoilt girls we’re all used to thanks to the new wave of Disney/MTV, ‘Little Reaper’ manages to keep a sinister urge to entice any horror fan and she sure heads for her comeuppance. 

 

 

Accompanied with an enchanting score, this is the Disney channel for real horror kids, with Banshees, reapers and zombies alike, the world would be a better place if this fairytale of reality were true.

 

 

It may sway more to the younger female audience who have an appetite for all things handbags and boys as opposed to the hardcore horror fans but its rather humorous take on how the households of the otherworld would look like raises a few chuckles and its 10 minute running time manages to capture some death, flesh eating and a whole bunch of girltalk. 

 

 

There's no excuse needd to spend 10 minutes of your life to indulge in this slice of childish fun.
