My Soul to Take | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness The filmmaker's red herrings prove depressingly incapable of hiding the real fiend's identity. Rated: C Apr 21, 2011 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader There's some malarkey about each kid having inherited one of the maniac's personalities, though Craven never does much with that except to point the finger of suspicion at junior. Jan 5, 2011 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle This utterly mediocre forget-me-now could've been crafted by any faceless serial director at all. Rated: 0/5 Oct 15, 2010 Full Review Mike Thorn Vague Visages As the second last film in one of the great contemporary horror filmmaker’s careers, it’s an extraordinary example of artistic self-reflection and development. Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review My Soul to Take feels like a grave step backward for the director Rated: 1/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Virtually every aspect of production disappoints.

Andre F Poor, poor souls. My soul to take is a complete mess of a horror film. Is a really poor horror feature that fails to establish interesting ideas and characters. The film fails to deliver any sort of atmosphere and just comes across as overly edgy and trying too hard to seem dark. The protagonist is not captivating, just like his personification. The deaths are boring and don't give any emotion. And, if a slasher film has insignificant deaths, the film becomes discarded to any viewer. This doesn't seem like Wes's work, because there isn't that hand that only he knows how to deal. And in this film his touch doesn't seem to be present. As incredible as it may seem, there is no actor that I can single out because they were all dragged down the hill with the detestable characters they were cast as. One of Wes's worst works. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review alex d The concept isn't bad, but it isn't executed well in any aspect. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I love and miss Wes Craven but this felt film student caliber to me. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/23 Full Review KEVIN C From horror master Wes Craven, a serial killer thought to be dead returns to kill a group of high school kids who share the same birthday as the day he supposedly died. Even for Wes Craven this is a stretch story wise. The cast is pretty good and the movie itself is very watchable. But a bit too much to suspend belief in, in order for this movie to be more memorable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/22 Full Review M S I liked this film but —— How did Dr. Blake deliver Bug when we saw him get shot in the head during the opening scene?! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/09/22 Full Review Audience Member This movie was a total let down. I think it was wes's worse movie. On the previews it looked great but they showed all the good parts in the previews. It was a slasher movie a poor one but still a slasher film Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
