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.
