Movie Review: My Soul To Take

My Soul To Take 

This is yet another movie of a serial killer, off to kill a bunch of kids one by one. But I think I need to give the writers of this movie credit for for the plot of the movie. I don't know how to say it, but usually this genre of movie typically start off by giving a brief introduction and just go off killing the characters. 

Synopsis: 

The movie starts off by introducing The Ripper to the audience. This serial killer has multiple personality disorder, or according to the Haitian - multiple souls. The difference is: personalities die along with the body, the souls live on. Apparently he had already killed 6 people and that night, he killed his pregnant wife. 

So, this Ripper has 7 souls in him. When he was arrested (shot and stabbed several times) and was on the way to the hospital in an ambulance, he attacked the police and ran off. Whether he lives or dies, no one knows. 

Then, we fast forward to 16 years later, where a bunch of kids are gathered at the place where the Ripper disappears to carry out a ritual (superstition). Each year, the Riverton Seven (the seven kids that were born on the same day The Ripper disappears) will carry out a ritual - where failure to do so will set The Ripper free to continue his killing spree - only this time he is set out to kill the Riverton Seven, who apparently contains each of the 7 souls of the Ripper. 

So, one by one the Riverton Seven was found dead (of course, the Asian kid was killed off first, duh? *roll eyes*) and it's up to the remaining Riverton Seven to find out who was the killer before it is too late. 

My take on the movie: 

I guess it's pretty scary, for me. The way the Ripper just appear out of nowhere and just storms towards the victim - I'm serious, one second he was at the end of the corridor, the next he'll be behind the victim. 

It's gory too. The blood just splash out, and continue to pour out. Urgh. 

Like I had mentioned before, the storyline/plot is good too. It actually got you wondering who was the one who is the Ripper. It's suspense, mystery, humor all blend in one. Pretty good actually. 

The ending was a little bit disappointing though, it just went *poof* end. You'll be like "huh" that's it? Oh. 

All in all, I give it a thumbs up! You can give it a try, I suggest Summit USJ - bring along your student ID and voila~ RM6 per ticket!
