Wes Craven's My Soul to Take (Trailer) - Blu-ray Forum

It’s been a while since Wes Craven has made a feature film (2006’s PARIS, JE T’AIME doesn’t count!), so horror fans should be happy that not only is he returning to the SCREAM franchise, but his long-awaited chiller MY SOUL TO TAKE (previously titled 25/8) is hitting theaters October 29 from Universal. Take a look at few new stills after the break.

Daemon’s Movies posted the pics from the film, which stars Max Thieriot (pictured left), John Magaro, Emily Meade, Nick Lashaway, Denzel Whitaker, Shareeka Epps, Paulina Olszyinski and Raúl Esparza. Here’s the premise:

“In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven teens, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? Only one of the kids knows the answers.

“Adam “Bug” Heller [Thierot] was supposed to die on the bloody night his father went insane. Unaware of his dad’s terrifying crimes, he has been plagued by nightmares since he was a baby. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that’s returned, he must face an evil that won’t rest…until it finishes the job it began the day he was born.”

Says the movie was moved to the 8th so it wouldn't have to compete with Saw 3D

Can't wait to see this movie been waiting awhile for it. So sick of the so called horror torture movies we have been getting lately. With Scream 4, this movie and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark we are strting to get back to the old school horror that is actually scary.

I remember when "Shocker" and "Deadly Friend" (the latter of which had our heroine having nightmares about her abusive dad coming back as a burned killer) came out after the first Elm Street, we claimed that Wes was "stuck in a rut" after his one hit.

...Think he's fallen back in again.

We haven’t covered it very much, but in addition to the now-shooting Scream 4, Wes Craven has another movie coming up. This isn’t a sequel or anything, but it is very much in keeping with the basic Wes Craven methodology: high school kids are in danger thanks to an evil legacy that haunts their town, and may be possessing one of them. Check out the trailer for the film, My Soul to Take, after the break.

There was a moment where I thought this might be more than the same old high school supernatural slasher setup, but, well, it doesn’t seem to be. There are a few flashes of interesting things in the trailer. (Like that image above — what the hell is that?) But for the most part this looks entirely like the elements of six or seven other movies shuffled around.

See the trailer in HD at Yahoo.

And yes I am a Craven fan, I just think this doesn't look good and the test screening reactions are very mixed.

detective392 · 08-18-2010, 05:56 AM

Trailer looked very good can't wait to see this. That bird also looks very creepy and cool at the same time.

Well, at a guess, I'd say that's either a demonic hallucinatory vulture, or the Chamberlain from "Dark Crystal". (Hmmm...

)

i just cant wait for scream 4

Batman1980 · 08-18-2010, 06:48 AM

I dunno guys, the new nightmare on elm street was good, maybe we should give this Craven project a chance before we judge it.

...No, it wasn't! (And I should know, watched it last week.)
All he did was yank his usual crank about how the sequels cuted up the character and ran the franchise into the ground, and he didn't get royalties for it--
And then, in the whole long scenes of Heather going into maternal freakouts at the hospital, and trying to save her Weird Creepy-@$$ Kid from walking across the highway, we realize that we're watching Wes invent Mommy-Horror, eight years before the US "Ring" did. (And before "The Invasion" killed it off.)

...It was annoying then, and it's annoying now, but it's just particularly galling to think that the Wes we used to know was there first.

Lame trailer, did not like and do not want.

antwonaj · 08-18-2010, 10:49 AM

I really liked the trailer. Don't think i'll be seeing it in 3-D tho, seems pointless.

Col. Zombie · 08-18-2010, 12:46 PM

I felt a great sense of ..."meh"... as I watched that trailer. Very, very...

opterasis · 08-18-2010, 01:03 PM

I thought it looked pretty cool, I'll be checking it out in theaters.
