Summary: A decent flick that messes with your mind!
Review: To be honest, I seriously had my doubts about this movie when I saw it in the theater. I heard the release kept getting delayed, and they had to re-edit in order to get a PG-13. I wasn't expecting much. But the plot was intriguing and when I watched the scene at the goth rave in the beginning, I knew it was going to be something different and interesting. It's not your typical teen slash 'em flick. This movie really messes with your mind, making you question what's going on and wonder what's real and what's not. The ending finally does explain those questions, but there are some that go unanswered even as the credits roll. I suggest you check this out before bashing it. It's a movie that you might have to watch several times in order to understand it. While the ending might not be original, the movie itself adds a nice psychological twist on the teen movie genre.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Try and Survive this
Review: How to direct movies 101. That's a class the director of Soul Survivors should take. When watching, you get a little of everything a bad director brings to the table.

Why I even expected Soul Survivors to be any good I don't know. I thought since the cover put the movie in the class of "Urban Legends" and "I know what you did last summer," that it would be a wild ride. So wrong.

One of the main problems I have with Soul Survivors is how terribly paced and edited it was. In a span of ten seconds, the movie would jump years, with no explanation until 30 minutes later in the movie. I'm not saying that jumping time quickly is a bad thing, but you need to know the art of doing it before you take on the task. You can't leave the audience in the dark, which is exactly what Stephen Carpenter did.

And the acting wasn't all that dandy either. The only reason Casey Affleck was in this movie was because his brother is in the biz. And in every scene he was in, you keep wanting him to clear his throat. The lead actress, Melissa Sagemiller, wasn't too bad, but not that great either.

The ending even dipped to a huge cliche. It's not good to end a bad movie with an easy cop-out ending. It's as if they didn't want to put in the time to make it smart and enjoyable.

Soul Survivors gets 1 Star for making me want to know what happens at the end, but the reasoning behind that is beyond me. 2 Stars

Summary: A SNORE Survivor I was NOT
Review: This movie re-hashes so many (superior) movies it's insane.Unlike one of the other reviewers, I thought the ending, (after you suffer through the rest of it) actually was somewhat interesting, if not predictable.This movie builds absolutely no suspense & there were zero scares.But overall the film's shot quite nicely.The actors were pretty good with what they had to work with...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: soul survivors_awsome movie
Review: I think this is one of the best movies I have ever seen ,it isn't scary but very suprising .This movie has excellent performances espeially to Melissa Sagemiller(Get Over It) and Eliza Dushku( Buffy)(if you want to see Eliza like FAith,then you have to see this movie!)u could definently see this movie over and over again!!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: ???? I Don't Get It ????
Review: I have to say the beginning of Soul Survivors makes it seem like it's going to be packed with eerie images and spine-tingling effects. I couldn't have been farther from the truth.
This movie, about four teenagers that were in a horrifying car wreck, seems to have little or no point at all. Just when you belive the movie is going to dazzle you, it fizzles out instead. It seems to have a slow building plot that never hits a climax. The main character, Cassie, Begins having all of these visions. Are these visions real or just a dream, we unfotunately don't find out until the very end. This movie was a disappointment in the fact that it just doesn't seem to have a point. Maybe it's me, but I just didn't see the story in this movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible
Review: This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The whole point seemed to be to get teens to watch its creepyness and sex over and over again. Unfortunately for the film makers that didn't work. It wasn't scary but creepy (in the sense that i was wondeing why they had to show us such weird images that made no sense).

On top of being creepy it was soooooo slow. Nothing happened until the last 10 minutes of the film.

My only question was why such talented actors were in this HORRIBLE movie?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SOLID!
Review: A Fresh, Hip, Shockingly good, off-beat Psycho Horror movie, one NOT to be missed. Great Performances and top notch acting!! Excellent all the way through to it's Climatic ending!
A+ for the Genre... Not Academy Award winning but a Good watch!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Enjoyable
Review: This movie will give you something think about. Not a must have but worth watching.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I had a hard time with this movie
Review: Just when I thought Jeepers Creepers was the worst horror movie ever made along comes this one. It's not really that this was bad in the same sense that Jeepers was bad. Jeepers was annoying, this movie was so hard to follow and the story was never fully explained. I kept waiting for the defining moment where everything would come together, like in Sixth Sense. Never happened. I never picked up on any of the key elements, if there were any to be picked up on. The movie jumped around and never fully came together to give you any clue as to what, when, where and most importantly WHY. I had very high hopes for this movie because I really like Wes Bentley as an actor, thought he was great in American Beauty. I really wanted to see him shine in this and he didn't. Then again there were no stand out performances here. Rent it if you absolutely must see it, but do not even consider purchasing this. There is just no reason, the story ends quite abruptly and never fully explained what happened after the first 10 or 15 minutes of the movie. Killer Cut, I think not. Killer Crud is more like it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Soul Survivor: Killer Cut shouldn't have survived
Review: While the quality of the DVD is terrific and the special features average, all I can say about this movie written and directed by Steve Carpenter is ... it's dumb, stupid, and tries too hard to be hip, quirky, scary, funny and fails at all.
It's a low budget rip-off of THE SIXTH SENSE. Artisan should've killed this movie when they saw the dailies.
