Place your
bets - how many will end up dead?

Cheap and cheesy.
Don't go in with high expectations and you won't be disappointed.

Do you really want to know the plot? You've heard it all before.
The tale of the teenagers who go to a suspicious night club (in
an old church for goodness sake).
The women are
chatted up by undesirables who then chase our heroes causing a car
crash in the process.
Sean (Affleck),
who'd just declared undying love for Cassie (Sagemiller) dies.
Cassie is traumatised
because she couldn't commit to saying "I love you" before
the tragedy.
Worse for her,
she starts seeing Sean wandering around the college green. Worse
still, those weirdoes who caused the crash are now trying to kill
her.
Or are they?

to be such a nice girl |
Her friends
Matt and Annabel think she's going crazy. Mind you, they're acting
pretty strangely themselves.
What is going
on?
Horror buffs
will probably guess the outcome long before all the elements come
into place. If you do, Soul Survivors is a bit of a waste
of time.
If you don't
work it out the movie is more rewarding. Like Cassie you won't know
who to trust. Are the events real, in her head or supernatural?
There are some
squirmy sequences. If you don't like hospitals you could well have
nightmares.
For me the beginning
was poor, the middle acceptable, the end a real anticlimax.
But there are
a few moments which make you jump and potentially grab onto the
one you fancy and for the teen market Soul Survivors is pitched
at, that's probably a good enough excuse to go and see it.
