At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I have seen a lot of horror films in my time. And to be honest? This film doesn't stray far most others in this particular genre. It has very generic characters, There is the jock, the beautiful girl and the loser. It also keeps up the slasher tradition of a bunch of teenagers getting picked off one by one. Was this film any different from other slashers? Not really. The acting was okay, Max Thieriot as Bug was quite good. The other seven were adequate. However, Emily Meade as Fang put in a rather poor performance. She showed next to no emotion in scenes that were meant to be quite deep. A big issue for me was the murderer himself, The "Riverton Ripper". We never properly see his mask up close, so we never get a true sense of terror that comes purely from what the killer looked like ( Ghostface in Wes Cravens scream series was a great example of a murderer that delivers scares purely based on appearance ).The one thing that saves this film from being a mere 3/4 out of 10 is the idea behind the plot. Okay, sure it could have been edited a little better but the idea of the souls of a serial killers victims travelling into the children born on the night he died was good. Then there was the murders, if you enjoy gore then you probably won't find much of it here. Out of all the murders, the second murder of Penelope was the only gory one as we can see the blood pouring out of her throat.You may as well go rent this movie, it's definitely not going to be the best film you've ever seen but I guarantee that it won't be a film to throw away after 10 minutes of watching .Overall rating : 6/10

My Soul to Take (2010).This as been on my watch list for some time, I kept pushing back with all the bad comments and reviews I saw. So finally gave it go last night! I thought the start of the movie was really good, I really enjoyed that part of the movie, it was bit confusing at the start, but that what made it more fun to me. For me that was the best part of the movie, I didn't think the rest of the movie was as good as that but I didn't find the movie boring at all. I thought it flowed really well at times, I don't think drag on at all. and found the death to bit boring at times, some blood moment but nothing gory. I didn't find anything scary or creepy in this movie, , I wasn't fan of the ending at all As I expected to be a really bad movie, that may have help me not being to let down by it, I didn't think was as bad some reviews made out to beIt was one of weakest movie from Wes Craven you brought to Elm street and Scream movies. 4 out of 10 , I liked the opening scene!

i watched this movie because of Max Thieriot and Wes Craven; and because i saw all these negative reviews; well; it wasn't that bad! it has a unique story; with a massive plot-twist; the acting was fine; the cast were put in the suitable place; and Max rocked his Bug role; the first 60 minutes were fine and crazy; but after that; the story was falling off and was super weak; it could have went better but i feel that Craven was a bit bored at the end and he just wanted the movie to finish; some scenes were dumb and not realistic; it's recommended when you're in love with Max Thieriot; you're 16; you're a bored horror fan with some popcorn.

The title was certainly catchy, and I was willing to give the film a chance despite the critics only giving it a rating of two of five stars, especially being directed by Wes Craven (The Hills Have Eyes, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream). Basically the opens with multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia suffering Abel Plenkov (Raúl Esparza), whose alter ego is The Riverton Ripper, murders his pregnant wife and counsellor Dr. Blake (Bean's Harris Yulin), and later in the night when he dies his seven personalities leave his body and are transferred into the bodies of seven children born on that night. Sixteen years pass, all celebrating their sixteenth birthdays are Adam 'Bug' Hellerman (Max Thieriot), Alex Dunkelman (John Magaro), Jerome King (Denzel Whittaker), Penelope Bryte (Zena Grey), Brandon O'Neil (Nick Lashaway), Brittany Cunningham (Paulina Olszynski) and Jay Chan (Jeremy Chu), and they are having a get together in the area the killer was last seen. One by one during the night the teenagers are being brutally killed by The Riverton Ripper who has returned, five out of seven of the children are slaughtered, and also Bug's adoptive mother May (Jessica Hecht). Police officer Detective Frank Patterson (Frank Grillo) had been investigating the murders sixteen years previously, but he is killed as well, Bug's older sister Leah 'Fang' (Emily Meade) is wounded but survives, and Bug himself is shocked to find out that he is the son of Alan Plenkov, the killer. People have been killed within the Hellerman household by the Ripper, then his best friend Alex crawls through the window, Bug realises the Ripper's soul was transferred into his friend's body, Alex reveals he murdered his abusive stepfather. After a struggle Bug stabs Alex and the soul of the Ripper is sent back to Hell, Bug is sure that he will be arrested being suspected as the killer, but being the last alive he is seen as a hero, all he can do is act up to this. Also starring Dennis Boutsikaris as Principal Pratt, Shareeka Epps as Chandelle and Trevor St. John as Lake. The film started relatively interesting, with the man possessed with a demonic soul, that of a psychopathic murderer, it did sort of interest me the main plot with teenagers killed on the day the killer died, but the plot is too muddled up and filled with complicated bits, apart from some of the deaths and maybe one okay twist it was boring, a disappointing horror thriller. Adequate!
