If I didn't just view (more than once, actually) and enjoy Scream 4, I would really start to question where Wes Craven's head is at. My Soul to Take is a terrible movie, not only a giant step down for horror movies, but a giant step down for Wes Craven as well. No one leaves unscathed from this piece of shit.
My Soul to Take starts off with a bit of promise, introducing the idea of a killer with multiple personality disorder who apparently...can put his spirit into anyone else after he is murdered. Yeah, I didn't say it was an original idea...just a neat one. From there, My Soul to Take begins to go down the drain.
One big problem (of the several going on) with MSTT is that it just doesn't make any sense at all. You never really find out why these teenagers are being killed, or how the killer even managed to get into someone else's body in the first place. What made this killer so special? What is the point of killing all of Bug's friends? Why did the killer have to wait 16 years to make his move? Do we really even care?
My Soul to Take just isn't scary at all. There's no sense of urgency or tension at all. About half the cast is killed about two scenes after you are introduced to them (which is good, considering that none of them with the possible exclusion of Zena Grey leave any impression and would be labeled as too amateurish for the Disney channel). After these murders (which aren't scary or frightening at all, just gross and stupid) occur, you're left with a lot of down time....where absolutely nothing happens.
Once you find out who the killer is, you're just left with a big, "That's it?". The motivation behind the killings isn't there, and neither is the logic behind how the killer's soul arrived into this person's body. This is an ending that was created just to have an ending. No fucking point.
Seriously, this isn't even a movie at all. It's a 90 minute time killer with a few bloody kills thrown in the mix. My Soul to Take is a lazy, tedious, poorly written and acted piece of amateurish bullshit that never should have been made.
