In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, sixteen years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven teens, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? Only one of the kids knows the answer. Adam "Bug" Heller (Max Thieriot) was supposed to die on the last night the Riverton Ripper wreaked havoc on that terrifying night. Unaware of terrifying crimes being committed to the seven children, he has been plagued by nightmares of their murders while not aware if they hold true or if he is simply imagining the scenes that haunt him. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that's returned, he must face an evil that won't rest...until it finishes the job it began the day he was born.
Leave your thoughts about My Soul to Take.
| Film Journal InternationalSarah SluisA single-serving package of adrenaline that wears off quickly. |
| Mania.comRob VauxOnly someone so smart could make a movie this stupid. |
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonThe highlight of the film, in fact, is a freaky bird costume...that actually vomits and defecates upon its audience. It'd be nice to think the director were self-aware enough to recognize the obvious parallel. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfThe work of a lunatic using his own feces to outline an uncomfortably abstract tale of ridiculous possession, brought to life through some of the most excruciatingly obvious and colossally stilted dialogue I?ve heard so far this year. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher Smith"My Soul to Take" is one of the worst films I?ve seen this year and easily the most irritating. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussA typically ruthless and cynically comic horror thriller from Craven, set in a high school where the caste system is more terrifying than the possibility of a murderous ghost (the bullying leader of the mean girls is nicknamed 'Fang'). |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeWhy am I kinda sorta not really recommending, but mildly defending this movie? Well, as noted, I had fun with it. I was entertained. |
| Film.comEric D. SniderWhat sinks it is Craven's simplistic, ham-fisted writing and inert direction. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonThe silly story can be forgiven. Almost no other living director can instill such a sense of gleeful dread in the autumn woods ... or in an ordinary house. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThough the movie's about some sort of eternal killer, the real culprit here is Craven, whose attempt to feed on his earlier successes results in a structurally slipshod and distinctly non-frightening pastiche. |
