My Soul To Take is the new horror from Wes Craven, the same man who brought us the original Nightmare On Elm Street. In a small town a killer known as the Riverton Ripper was killed many years ago and now seven teenagers who were born on the same day as the killer's death begin to drop dead. Now Bug, the miracle child that survived after the killer attacked his wife, must try and stop him.
This movie feels a good bit like what Wes Craven might have done with Nightmare On Elm Street had he made it today, except of course that there is a different story. It's very much a horror movie with a slasher feel. The movie as a whole is not that great. The writing isn't very good and at times it is downright cheesy. At the same time that is precisely how some of these movies used to feel except nowadays they don't work as well on audiences. The acting most of the time is mediocre. But at the same time the movie still works on a level that makes it fun and entertaining. There may be a lot of flaws but it feels like a movie that isn't meant to be flawless but rather enjoyed for what it is. So sit back, suspend belief, and enjoy the ride.
