Most helpful review My Soul to Take

    This Film Deserves a positive review

    It has some holes, but none that detract from the story in anyway that would make it incoherent. I found this film pretty good and engaging (if not a little rushed once the slashees begin to meet their fate.)

    There are plenty of red herrings along the way, enough to keep me guessing and reguessing... til more or less the end.

    When Craven is writing, you're always going to get more that the standard hack and slash film, there is so much more going on within the Story, just seems that there wasn't room for everything at once.

    Maybe take a step back, enjoy the mystery rather than the (surprising) lack of gore.....

    Its not 'A Nightmare on Elm St' (1984) but its still better than most of the mindless 'horror' flicks about these days....

    For every NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and SCREAM, Wes Craven gives us a DEADLY FRIEND and, er, VAMPIRE IN BROOKLYN. MY SOUL TO TAKE is definitely in the latter category. Competently put together but utterly pointless, this really only works as a teen slasher for an audience who haven't yet seen the many better films that inspired it (although the teen audience won't get access to it because of the - unjustified - 18 cert).

    Really poor effort shot in a flat made for TV style that wrings every last drop of potential atmosphere out of the thing.

    My advice - avoid.

  • For a Wes Craven.. very disappointing!

    Rated - 1.0 star

    Very disappointing for a Wes Craven film, I expected a lot more with it being one of his. Sadly it has very little plot and a storyline which is very poor. Don't waste your time with this.

    Wondered when the film was going to get started, How slow and boring telling us how they were all connected, did we really need that much info??? NO WE DID NOT.

    The only good thing in this movie was that it made me jump twice!!!

    Get real, I couldn't wait for it to end, bad acting, bad script, bad movie. x x x
