The Raking (2017) Horror Poster

The Raking Plot Synopsis:

As part of a Cultural Anthropology Project, several college students embark on a weekend camping trip to research an urban-legend, The Rake. The Rake is a terrifying monster, in humanoid form with long claws. The creature feeds only on the Equinox, which also happens to be the same time the college students take their camping trip. As the college students explore deeper and deeper into the desert to chase down the myth, and disprove of it's existence, they find themselves no longer the hunters of mystery, but the prey of The Rake itself. Now they find themselves fighting for their very lives.


Bryan Brewer"s The Raking (2017) is my kind of internet creepypasta turned into a feature film. Based on the creepy Rake creature, this documentary gone wrong looks fun especially how I am not expecting too much from this movie. Bryan Brewer, Cree Kelly, and Allie Rivera star in The Raking.
