Why so much hype?

Such a frustrating disappointment

Deeper than the descriptions

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Eliza Dushku is in this movie. Sometimes I feel sorry for Eliza, sometimes I believe that Hollywood used her up then threw her aside, and while Hollywood was using her up, she was used hard. Perhaps it contributed to her drinking, she's had a long road back to recovery with each day of sobriety being a gift, Hollywood don't give a sh*t. Hollywood is all like " show us your tits, Eliza!" then a decade later Hollywood is all " You're too old, Eliza!" Why don't you make up your f*cking mind Hollywood? I missed the middle part of the movie so I'm not sure what happens, but I can live with that. I saw the beginning and the last five minutes, I feel like that's enough.

A shoddily made "horror flick" that's actually a bad mash-up of romance and psychological thriller. I wonder how anybody's career survived this dud.Dumb college kids go to a Goth party. A girl and her ex-boyfriend make out in an 'innocent' way. Her boyfriend gets ticked off, she gets her friends into a car accident, and the movie borrows from "Vanilla Sky", "Jacob's Ladder", and "Romeo and Juliet" (its supposed source of inspiration). Is the chick hallucinating? Is all this trouble she's going through really happening? Who cares?Rumor has it, the script was good. Looks awfully messy to me. Either that, or some insidiously haphazard editing made it so that nothing made sense, just for the sake of a PG-13 rating. The "restored" Killer Cut which offered "MOAR 53X!!1!!! MOAR BLOOD AND GOAR!!!!1!! MOAR TERROR!!!1!!1!!!" still didn't bring any clarity. A marketing fail on Artisan Entertainment's part, the same studio which promoted "The Ninth Gate" as an action movie. Enough about that. This is anemic in terms of entertainment value, lacking chemistry, thrills, or even any unintentional humor. None of the younger actors could even act their way out of being a human centipede. With a rather hackneyed twist in an ending that took forever to reach, it's finally placed the final nail in its coffin. Just to add more suffering, you have to go through a lame soundtrack and the least consistent score ever heard. I mean, music you would hear during "Half-Life 2" incorporated into a 'scary, intense' chase scene in a swimming pool complex? No, that does not go there. Don't get me started on those main titles! And I thought "Chained" (a similarly bad film, only from Australia) was bad.However, the only saving grace this film seems to have from it rotting along with the sparkly vampires and fake-CG pups is... Luke Wilson, as the sensitive priest dude. He was alright, doing the best he could with this material. The visual aspect, rancid as it is in the club, is only worth looking at in the reality and dream scenes.Since there is nothing that can redeem this botched-up travesty, "Soul Survivors" is a disaster in every sense of the word. It delivers... a middle finger to horror fans looking for something simple or spooky, a steaming pile of crap to the psychological thriller lovers, and virtually nothing for there to appeal to everyone else. This is indeed one of the worst films I've laid my eyes upon.Now, it's time for me to rinse them out so I could eliminate the burn that this travesty has cursed me with.

I have seen this film in the belief that it was a teen-terror film, but the truth is that it is a film with a good idea and little advantage.The main character (Cassie) has a relationship with two boys (exboybriend and boyfriend), and they both are friends; the night that the group have to part to University they go to a party in a deserted church and when they were returning home they have a car accident and the boyfriend of main character dies.After that Cassie has a lot of strange visions for the rest of the film until the end.It remembers me the film "The Art of Dying" a lot, it would be interesting if the "visions" where thriller-horror like but the truth is that it becomes a TV Movie for this part of almost one hour of the film.To sum up: Good idea, poor advancement.

The movie made perfect sense. You just need to read between the lines and watch it a few times to get it. I believe it was an amazing movie that required a lot of skill from the actors/actresses. To mimic that kind of horror and still seem believable, is to be truly talented. The anger and angst in this movie all seemed to seep out of the characters. I had to search and search and search to find this movie. I first saw it over at a friends house and after that I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. It's a perfect movie to watch when you want to freak you friends out while you're home alone. I give it two thumbs up with some toes as well.
