Nice effects though.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Soultangler (1987) * (out of 4)Anton Lupesky is a scientist who of course turns out to be mad. He creates a drug that will allow the users spirit to leave their body and posses corpses but of course there's a major side effect.SOULTANGLER is a film that I had never heard of before it came out onto DVD. I must admit that I had never heard a thing about it and after watching it I'm even more confused because there's really not too much here. I mean, was the company releasing this trying to pass it off as a cult movie? Perhaps as a movie that's so bad it's good? I'm really not sure what they were trying to do but it seems the filmmakers were going for something like RE-ANIMATOR but they didn't have a budget.For me the worst thing about this picture is that it just couldn't keep me entertained or glued into what was going on. Every once in a while we'd get some bloody deaths but there's not nearly enough to keep you entertained. As you'd expect the performances are pretty bad but this here can be forgiven. The film also features some pretty weak special effects but I will say that I enjoyed them for what they were. At least they tried to give us some practical effects with gore.I guess there might be some people who get some laughs out of the picture but it just didn't work for me. SOULTANGLER just didn't grab me or hold my attention.

A crazy scientist called Anton Lupesky develops a drug called Anphorium, which makes the soul leaves the body and enters in any corpse with eyes. It affects the nerve center, causing madness as side effect.I was able to watch exactly fifteen minutes of this crap. This thing is so awful that I was tempt to watch more, to see how far is the mental incapability of this moron amateurish Pat Bishow. I do not know who the worst is: this director, the writer or the producer, maybe all of them together. These guys deserved to be sued for such a horrible crap. It certainly is the worst flick I have ever tried to see. I borrowed this VHS from my friend Ricardo, and I advise him: get rid off this garbage, do not waste your time on this trash. My vote is zero (one in IMDb lowest rating).Title (Brazil): "O Embrulhador de Almas" ("The Soul Wrapper")

... for I thought this movie fell out of another dimension. A dimension of horrible movies, that is. Some dimension where Redneck Zombies is Four Star or greater. I am sure it was a weekend diversion for some of no talent to create this film. That it was released to the public... unreal. I have better films of my dog rolling in dead rabbits. Funny thing is that I still own my copy and will likely never part with it. Why? Who knows. Life is like that. I bought a VHS copy for three dollars. Judging from the packaging alone, I paid too much. Once viewed however, I was sure I should have been paid to watch it. The use of Edgar Allan Poe's "Dream Within a Dream" was very disturbing. Not that it was being spewed by a spooky doll head, but that I like E.A.P., and am quite saddened they could not choose a worse poet to hack. Highlights? Well, in one scene, after the first bloody scenes, two characters are walking through a basement and you get to see a large box hastily marked "Ketchup". Now, with such poor effects (and no budget for Karo Syrup or even one of Raimi's recipes) I am sure that box belonged to whatever fool was in charge of FX. Not even cute, useless and boring as hell... ensure you are paid to watch this movie if ever at all. You have been warned.
