Bitter Souls

An indie horror movie about voodoo. Not too many movies that fit into that specific category. Hopefully this movie inspires more in this sub genre. The story is wild, goofy and entertaining. The performances of the voodoo priest and Kendall particularly shine. I was thoroughly impressed by the opening scene; the camera work, the music, the lighting, and the delivery of lines - creepy and on point. Avaryana Rose may very well be an up and coming star in horror.

This is a fun movie. I look forward to more from this team. I encourage fellow fans or horror or independent movies to check out this movie.

This is a great time. A classic horror tale with a bit of a twist. When a young girl comes up missing her boyfriend turns to voodoo to find her. Unfortunately, he brings her back from the dead with a thirst for vengeance! This movie had a lot of heart and humor. Lead actress Avaryana Rose as Kendall Kane brings a dynamic performance, showing off her acting and physical skills during the many action scenes. Tristan Green was menacing as Bobby Montrose and Michael McKeever really did an awesome job as Lucien Deveux the heartbroken boyfriend. I was rooting for Kendall to get her revenge. Definitely worth a watch!

In the aftermath of a devastating accident, a teenage girl is brought back to life through the dark arts. Armed with her newfound abilities, she seeks revenge on those who tormented her. To resurrect Kendall, Lucien turns to Father O'Reilly and a voodoo priestess named Mahlet, delving deep into the world of black magic. However, their mission is fraught with danger as they must confront the malevolent houngan, Immanuel, who poses a significant threat to their efforts.

The film's cinematography and soundtrack stand out as remarkable elements, elevating the overall viewing experience. A talented ensemble cast, featuring Avaryana Rose, Michael Hargrove, Destiny Lelaini Brown, and Michael McKeever, brings depth and authenticity to the characters, making the story even more compelling. Produced by Showtown American Pictures, Babe Entertainment, and Cannon Fire Productions, this film promises to be a captivating addition to the horror genre, drawing viewers into its dark and twisted narrative.

"Bitter Souls" made its debut on Amazon Prime on May 15th, offering a chilling tale that intertwines the recklessness of youth with the eerie allure of black magic. For those who crave a gripping horror story filled with supernatural elements and themes of revenge, this film is one to watch. Be sure to mark your calendars for this intriguing release, as it is sure to leave a lasting impression on fans of the genre.

The cast and crew brought a fresh feel to small town Horror. It wasn't over done, it wasn't forced and stuck to the story through and through. The actors did a great job taking their roles to the next level.

The areas in Which they chose to to shoot this movie have great history and it was awesome to see familiar location in each scene.

It was slow to see a familiar face or two get there moments on screen.

The crew and producers were very welcoming and friendly, it was a pleasure to meet them all and have some of my products showcased in the movie.

Definitely worth the purchase.

10 out of 10 highly recommend.

I'm a fellow filmmaker, so if you're looking for nitpicking? This is not the review for you.

It takes a tremendous amount of work to take a great idea, write a solid screenplay and translate it well in front of the lens. Bitter Souls does all of this.

The story of Bitter Souls is a well written and thought out one. There weren't any plot gaps. It was all tied together pretty well. It's a unique horror film in that it takes the mysterious practice of Voodoo and twists it in all the right ways.

The cinematic look of the film is great. It's smooth and crisp, very pleasing for the viewer. There were well timed visual effects, not overdone, and they were placed precisely where they needed to be.

The opening sequence was great!

We loved Michael Hargrove as Immanuel. His costume and makeup were well done!

The Voodoo shop was cool!

Avaryana Rose as Kendall Kane really worked well. Avaryana has this look...I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's the right mix of innocence, mystery and cunning. A budding star.

As we got deeper into the film, and then saw the ending...Michael McKeever's performance as Lucien Deveux felt really good. Kudos Michael!

Destiny Leilani Brown as Mahlet can't be overlooked. We've seen a lot of Voodoo shows and movies with this particular character, and Destiny held her own. Cheers!

Aesthetically there was a lot to like! Congrats to the writers, producers, cinematographers, editors and director.

We're looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.
