The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

MARY LOSS OF SOUL is an indie ghost story with a novel premise: a girl goes missing from her family and returns lacking her soul. That's not bad as it stands, but this low rent film fails to do anything with that concept and the metaphysical concepts are merely discussed in a mundane way rather than properly explored. The film has a nice lakeside setting but is badly acted and frequently boring, with the viewer failing to invest in any of the characters. Old-time actor Nick Mancuso shows up playing a cop and that's about it.

This is a great movie! Don't listen to any negative review! Unless your IQ is below 60, or you think a scary movie has to contain a bloody pile of guts, you should enjoy this movie! Rarely if ever did a horror movie before the 60's contain blood or guts. This is something sicko's have grown to need in order to be satisfied with a horror movie these days. Your best horror movies of the past like, Dracula, Frankenstien, The Wolfman, and scary old houses with ghosts never needed gore! These are what I consider horror! Some psycho serial killer running around hacking people up isn't horror to me! It's just sick! This movie has an excellent story-line and will keep you guessing right up to the end! This movie is probably more suitable for people with taste! Not the scariest movie, but it has plenty of scares and a great plot!

This movie is a clear case of genre confusion. It's a supernatural suspense, not horror. That means the story builds tension through good storytelling and character development. Supernatural stories involve paranormal elements, and the suspense is a slow burn, more Alfred Hitchcock. It doesn't depict violent, gruesome bloody acts which would be horror. It's also not a family/children movie. It's for thinking adults who want to figure out what's happening, why it happened, and how it's going to end. It's hard not to be fascinated by this movie. It has good scary elements. It's chilling, but not terror provoking. There's a deeper, subconscious connection to the mythology of "loss of soul," which is an actual condition. (Look it up, it's interesting) It delivers something very different. If you're looking for gore, you won't like this movie. It's smarter than that. It involves a functional teenage girl who is thrust into extraordinary circumstances - she's lost her soul, but is still alive. Now the fun begins! I read the reviews here and yes, there's no swearing or overt sexuality. This movie breaks some stereotypes, which is why I liked it. I didn't catch some of the nuances and honestly thought I had it figured out from the very beginning and then found out I was wrong. I enjoyed the surprise! If you can get past it being labeled horror, and if you like paranormal and supernatural, and just a Good Movie, you'll really like this one.

I read a bunch of reviews before I buy or watch anything especially on amazon. I think I can explain more about this movie now that I've see it and saw some one stars that I think are probably guys who want a slasher or something. I could def see it on lifetime but I don't see that as a diss. I watch Lifetime so no problem there!!! This movie is about a girl who goes missing in the woods and comes back missing part of her soul. That's not a spoiler because its in the description and starts the movie that way. The main part is figuring out why and how. (I thought that was interesting because I've never seen a movie where someone loses their soul if they're not dead and then has it haunt them) If you want a slasher or straight up horror don't watch this movie. It's smarter than that and has a supernatural thing going on. I liked the characters a lot but I agree the mom isn't so good but the dad is. The main character is good and so is her sister. I watch a lot of movies and seen way worse but this is good with a twist ending and twists along the way so I'm recommending it.
