NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
WakenPayne This movie is very underrated I looked at the acting caliber before I looked at the ratings and I was very surprised 3.6 so what you guys are saying is that it's worse than Charlies Angels: Full Throttle worse than Universal Soldier Worse than Xanadu Worse than The Pirate Movie Worse than The Simpson's Movie Worse Than High School Musical Worse Than Twilight... OK I could Go on forever. This is a good movie not good as in good/scary I mean good it's not scary whatsoever it is one of those movies which is good but not scary. The Character Development in this is very good the Character Development is around about the only thing in the movie besides that car crash and those "I try to scare you" scenes which there are only around 4 I try to scare you scenes. If there are any spoilers in this next sentence it was unintentional. The Ending was extremely hard to follow which could be the ONLY argument for this because everything else doesn't have a weak point the ending had 1 second shots of where that person is supposed to be. There is a twist at the end of all that 1 second shots I won't reveal it to you. Watch it it's good but if you want to be scared be scared at it's low rating
sol1218 **MAJOR SPOILERS** The movie "Soul Survivor" comes across like a cross between "Caranvil of Souls" and "Jacob's Ladder" without the both surprising and shocking endings of the two ghostly thrillers.Cassie, Melissa Sagermiller, in trying to break off her relationship with her boyfriend Matt, Wes Bentley, gives him a good-by kiss which her now boyfriend and, what turned out to be, soul-mate Sean, Casey Affleck, notices. Mad at Cassie for two-timing him which Sean suspect her of doing he refuse to have anything to do with, or even talk to, her on the drive back to their dorms at Middletown Collage.With Matt and his new girlfriend Anna,Eliza Dushku, in the back seat Cassie loses control of the car and goes off the road killing her disgruntled boyfriend Sean. Recovering from both the accident and Sean's death Cassie soon starts to have hallucinations of Sean manifesting himself to her as a ghostly spirit somehow directing her to came back to him in the world of the dead! While all this is going on Cassie is constantly being stalked and terrorized by this masked lunatic, Carl Paoli, that only she and one else sees!Going to see the collage's Catholic Priest Father Jude, Luke Wilson, Cassie is told to keep the faith and let things just happen and the truth of what's happening to her will guide Cassie back to both God and sanity. It later turns out that Father Jude is anything but who he says he is in that he hasn't worked at Middletown Collage, much less lived there, since 1981!It's not that much of a secret to what Cassie find herself in since it's been done, in movies like "Carnival of Souls" and "Jacob's Ladder", many times before. It's the syrupy feel-good ending that blows you away in its trying to make everything right in the film which in fact screws everything up instead!Totally clueless to what's happening all around her Cassie starts to lose her mind feeling that she's somehow suffering from server brain damage resulting from the car accident that she's a survivor of. It's takes almost the entire movie for Cassie with the help of Matt & Anna, as well as Father Jude, to finally "get it"! But by then all she, as well as us watching the film, got was a confusing triple-twist ending and slitting migraine headache.Not much of a horror suspense movie "Soul Survivor" telegraphers every surprise and twist, with the exception of its final ending, in it far in advance before it ever even starts. As for the dead and ghostly Sean he comes across with his rosy cheeks and surf-boy tan more alive then anyone that's actually alive in the movie!
bxnikki420 This movie has a good idea that, minus a couple of scenes, would of made it a lot less complicated for some. My interpretation is a little different from the last one I read. Instead of the state that she was in being 2 different ones, I see it as she is in a state of death, where everyone is jealous that she is not yet completely dead(in a coma in real life). Luke Wilson, since he is a priest who has died, is the only sense of reason, and the only one not trying to keep her there, letting her make her own decision. Her boyfriend is alive, sitting next to her comatose body, talking to her, and she is imagining his actual body in her world, which is only his voice. I think what is confusing is that they showed her boyfriends funeral, which I think was shown by the writer, just to confuse, and make you think that she is still alive, trying to give you a sixth sense sort of plot twist.
fuzzyfacefreak What a bad, bad movie! I tried watching without fast forwarding...That failed. After about 30 minutes I stopped the movie, went on-line to see how many minutes this disaster was. (Only 84 minutes, Whew!) It was a confusing, boring movie. I don't think anyone can get knocked down by getting hit with a fluorescent bulb much less gutted by one!! The one funny thing is that I watched "The Killer Cut" version of the movie. The box boldly states "More Blood!" "More Sex!" "More Terror than the theatrical release!" Yikes! If this movie was horrible with all those claims I wonder just how lame the "UN-Killer Cut" was??? If you want to see a great movie about the world of the living & the world of the dead watch any of The Night of the Living Dead series!!
