Overall: 

My Soul to Take is without a doubt one of the most frustrating movies I’ve ever sat through. Starting off with a lot of interesting and original ideas, it becomes bogged down by an always escalating plot that crashes and burns into one of the most asinine, maddening finales this side of War of the Worlds. I wanted to like this, and at a few moments I truly did, however the strong acting from the young cast and glimpses of classic Craven direction are just not enough to save the film as a whole.

Truly one of the most infuriating movie going experiences for me last year was when I first went to watch Wes Craven’s My Soul to Take.  So infuriating, in fact, that I didn’t even bother to write a review of it at the time as I felt I needed to let it settle in.  Well, low and behold, it’s already out on video so now seems like as good a time as any.  There are people who will tell you that Wes’ first original film from his own script in over a decade is the epitome of puke re-eaten, shat out, and pissed on.  And, to be honest, I really wish that was the case.

Wes Craven’s My Soul To Take Trailer

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

<p>Wes Craven’s new film My Soul to Take, formerly called 25/8, is set to hit theaters this October.  With that date right around the corner, it’s about time they popped a trailer out for this film and they have done just that.  The trailer premiered on Yahoo Movies and you can check out the trailer by <a href=”http://movies.yahoo.com/premieres/21450210/standardformat“>clicking here</a>. Personally I must say I am a bit disappointed as it looks like a lot of the other teen slashers to come down the pipes in recent years but feel free to add your comments as well.  </p><p>Oh and have we mentioned it’s being released in 3D? (Did I just here mass groans from our readers?) At least it’s rated R for strong bloody violence and pervasive language including sexual references.  </p><p>My Soul to Take has also gotten a new release date so it doesnt have to compete with Saw 3D, so look for it to now hit theaters October 8th.  </p><span style=”font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; color: #cccccc”><p style=”text-align: left”><em>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.
