It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

I bought this 4 pack of horror movies once. One of those four movies, was this movie. I have seen most of the movies in that box, and I think this is the best of them.Soulkeeper is a low budget horror/comedy flick. The difference between this and many other movies of the same type, is that this one is rather enjoyable.The leads are likable and kind of funny. There is actually a couple of places in this movie where I laughed. (I'm not much of a movie-laugher)Of course, there's some effects that are not the best you'll ever see, but they fit the style of the movie rather well.I liked this one. It's no masterpiece, it's not scary, but it's entertaining enough.

I really wanted to like this film. The acting was above average. The photography and effects were nicely done. the only problem was...and it's a big one....the story was just plain dumb. It's a shame too because the actors worked hard to save this turkey, if only they had a better plot to work with. The overall story was not on par with the dialog. Some of the scenes were actually very funny. Others were just not. The little 12 year old kid in the bordello like place was really bad, certainly not funny. He must have been related to someone cause he sure couldn't act. Luckily he was only on screen for a short time.The two male leads were pretty darn good, both had a nice comic flare. Made me wish they were in a better movie.Would I recommend this film? Not when there are so many better ones out there.

I believe, after watching this, not only in 'the power of the human soul,' but in the capacity for man to inflict evil upon fellow man. 'Soulkeeper,' and let's not kid ourselves here, isn't great. I would say that it fits in more with the 'cringe-worthily unfortunate' category. It aims to be a comedy-action-horror and really isn't very good at any of them. The comedy routine that runs throughout the film is a collection of one-liners that mostly don't fire. Mostly they tend to be funny in spite of themselves rather than because they actually are. The horror had potential (despite the ludicrous monster on the cover of the box) but is wounded by a serious failure on the part of the film-writers to establish any tension or threat that the two heroes might be in danger (well, at least until the climactic battle scene at the end). 'Soulkeeper' was like watching a long episode of Scooby-doo without any of the charm. Yeah there is a monster, but do you really think the two clowning knuckleheads in this buddy film gone wrong are in serious trouble? If one of the two leads had broken out the scooby snacks when the going got tough (wait, it never got tough ... except for me) we would have been alright.To be fair it has its moments. The "comedy" is grating because it tries too hard but there are times when you can't tell if it is being unintentionally funny or if there is great wit and a satirical mindset at work. Watching with friends was the only right decision I made about this movie because at least we could operate like a support group for trauma survivors. My favorite observation came when the two protagonists were in a cemetery and trapped in a night terror of sorts. The Robert Davi character snaps them out of it by hitting them with not one, but two buckets of water. My friend, bless him, wondered where he got the first, let alone second bucket of water? Genius or madness?!? YOU decide! hah hah hah!! ...late for therapy...

OK, first of all, this movie is a wacky horror comedy flick, pure and simple. It's like From Dusk till Dawn's lesser known brother. Don't go in expecting poetry, or deep plot... but the dialog and the writing in general, are phenomenal, on the level of Joss Whedon's wit and sarcasm, easily. "Tiny" puts in a marvelous, though very stereotypical, performance as your mean tough guy. Brad Dourif is likewise a fantastic actor, too bad he doesn't get more recognition.The set up is, two guys (who aren't exactly on the right side of the law) are tasked to what amounts to in the end as taking down a Christian necromancer... now if that ain't an oxymoron i don't know what is. Basically this ancient dead guy is manipulating souls to forge an army and these two goof balls are all we have to rely on. Classic.The movie is meant for a good time, and cheap fun, as such, it succeeds phenomenally. It even manages to get slightly existential, and deals with the power of the human soul in a world of fading faith.But the occasional monster special effects still suck. This is what happens when a good script gets a cheap production.I heartily recommend it!
