Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Paul Andrews Soulkeeper starts as two thieves Corey (Rodney Rowland) & Terrence (Kevin Patrick Walls) are contacted by a guy named Mr. Pacal (Brad Douriff) & are asked to find & steal the ancient Ark of Lazarus, with a potential $100,000 up for grabs Corey & Terrence accept the job. The first clue to the whereabouts of the Ark is a dead body in a graveyard & from there it gets even weirder as Corey & Terrence come up against the forces of Satan & the fate of the world lies in their capable hands...Written, produced & directed Darin Ferriola I assume that Soulkeeper is meant to be some sort of light hearted supernatural comedy, my main problem with it is that it's not funny in the slightest & I personally didn't even crack a smile during this thing let alone actually laugh. The comedy is both slapstick & of the one-liner variety but I just don't find someone asking for a divine sign & then someone else farting straight after funny, many of the one-liners are references to current pop culture (a lame joke about The Backstreet Boys for instance) & will obviously date the film & I suspect many of the one-liners will simply go over people's heads, gay discussion about perfect penises & having sex with a pretty girl who suddenly turns into your mother is not my idea of comedy & it all came across as rather forced & none of it particularly funny. The actual supernatural elements of the plot are a disaster as well, the film limps from one set-up to the next, it introduces various silly character's who disappear as quickly as they are introduced & not that much actually happens except for these two guy's randomly going from one place to another in search of an Ark that becomes a Rock by the end of the film for some reason. I wouldn't actually call Soulkeeper a horror film in any way, sure it has supernatural overtones & a big monster at the end but otherwise there seems to be no effort by the makers to include any horror here at all, all the set-pieces & situations are geared up to (try &) be humorous (which they are not) rather than for scares. Basically I didn't like it & at well over 100 minutes Soulkeeper felt like it went on forever.The script is a mess, I am not even that sure what the thing is about, there's a pre credits sequence set in 1964, living dead girls, people with glowing eyes, a castle, a monster who is the servant of Satan, a dead body in a grave & a black guy who boasts he has a perfect penis before he is possessed. This is just a mess of ideas all hoping to be humorous which it most definitely isn't. Boring is more like it. Forget about any gore as there isn't any & I mean there like isn't a drop of blood in the entire thing that I can remember. There's a bit of nudity but nothing excessive. The big monster at the end looks pretty good actually & the special effects are cool but it's only on screen for about a minutes & doesn't do anything other than roar a bit.The production values are decent actually & it's quite well made but the films sucks so it doesn't really matter. There's a cameo from Michael ironside who literally phones in his performance while genre favourites Robert Davi & Brad Douriff are wasted in small roles. Ex-teen pop star Deborah Gibson plays herself.Soulkeeper is a comedy that commits the ultimate sin of being totally devoid of any humour, add that to the awful plot which is a mess & a zero horror quotient apart from a cool monster at the end & Soulkeeper is definitely not a film I could recommend.

A_Roode 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...

nefylym 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!

ID already taken ...bad summary and it gives the impression the movie sucked. On the contrary, it's a nice change to see a movie not heavily done with CGIs and A-list stars. This movie proves that a good movie can be cheaply made! Yes, some effects are cheezy, but this is not Manos: The Hands of Fate, not by a longshot. Two thieves (and friends) are off to steal the Lazarus Rock and encounter unusual luck akin to what Bruce Campbell endured in ED2. They get their asses kick, but regroup and prepare to take down Simon Magus, slightly generic villian, not too shabby a...ahh, but that would be telling and you can probably guess the answer. A cheap movie, good way to while away the time and leaves you with a "I rather enjoyed that celluloid treasure" sensation. Not The Shawshank Redemption or Godfather, but why high-brow it. Enjoy it for the feel good movie it is.
