Soul to Keep

The film looked promising in the first 30 minutes but quickly became just another teen horror. The acting is ok, nothing great but not horrible. The premise was decent but toward the end it fell apart. The ending is predictable. All in all its worth one watch and that's about it.

This is an effort to do a demon possession film on a shoestring budget. It kind of fell short of being totally scary, but had some scary moments. The actors did what they could with the material they had, but couldn't overcome a so-so story. I thought Kate Reynolds stood out for her portrayal. It's watchable, but the first 40 minutes were hard to take. After that, it got more interesting. I thought the last few minutes were a let down. Check this movie out if you have 90 minutes to spare.

The first 65 minutes of build up are actually pretty good, especially the dialouges spiced up using sign-language, as one of the groupmembers are deaf. it is a house in the woods like movie, with good jolts and uncomfortable scares, and a few snakelike demons,curling in below,and out above, in a big belsebubian scream of hell.

the actors ive seen in other movies,so they are not newbi's, and delivers pretty good. the quality of sound and photo are at times surprisingly bad, but youll soon forget that. the score gives a good boost to the suspense, and the twists spread out in the movie are original and good.

the only minus about this flick where the last 10 mins, were i lost track of the action, and had to rewind and remind to what and why it became so.

but dont let that scare you away, because this movie will for sure scare you well, so the grumpy old man ,with a tounge filled with thong, does recommend this to your next bottoms up-party at the summer cabin.

My wife, daughter and I watched it on Netflix tonight. It wasn't Oscar worthy or anything, but it wasn't that bad either. Kept us entertained and that is what movies are for. I thought the young cast did ok with the material.

This wasn't as horrible as some reviewers make it out to be - but it's a sign of the times (at least with some) that if you disagreee with them, you must be "fake." Well, I'm not "fake" and I disagree with those who thought this was horrible. Oh, don't get me wrong. It's no masterpiece - but I wasn't expecting it to be. It's about a group of young adults who've been friends since childhood who go off to an out of the way property for a weekend away. While there, they end up conjuring up a demon. So - really - set your expectations according to that plot.

I thought it was reasonably suspenseful and on a handful of occasions even rose to the level of frightening. The cast - similar to the movie as a whole - while not being great weren't as bad as some are making them out to be. Yes, there are several plot inconsistencies. Surely the presence of the triangle in the basement (with something apparently still fresh and rotting within it) should have raised questions in their minds about what was going on? That one really did stick with me and where it came from never was really explained. But again - set your expectations accordingly. Don't expect to be blown away by special effects or astonished by a spectacular and airtight story. Just look at it as a piece of low budget entertainment and you can appreciate this.

Now - confession time. I watched this basically because I became a fan of Sandra Mae Frank from watching her on "New Amsterdam" for the last couple of seasons of its run, and this was the only other piece of work of hers that I could find that was easily accessible. She didn't disappoint as Tara. I find her work as a deaf actress fascinating and quite convincing. That probably made me rate this a little higher than I otherwise would have. Still, I found it an enjoyable enough escape for 90 minutes. (6/10)
