Souleater

6.1? Nah. One only has to look at the reviews to note they are written by members of the cast and crew. It has all the failings of a cheap production. Set design is poor, acting is quite bad and, worst of all, the sound is just not up to snuff. Movie watchers can forgive a great many things when it comes to quick cheapies but the one thing they will not tolerate is bad sound.

A poverty-level attempt at horror that is so boring and so inept, it's hard to believe it was filmed by anyone that could be called a professional. Image a porn film with the sex scenes edited out. I was interested to see Peter Hooten, TV's original Doctor Strange, but that's what comic conventions are for.

Souleater is a fantastic example of a bad movie being made watchable by those involved.

It tells the story of a spate of missing persons and the parties involved. The inept bigot Sherriff and his deputy, the religious evil vanquishers and a pair of bikers in search of one of their daughters.

It has a real 80's/90's vibe to it, this is the kind of movie I used to look forward to renting on VHS back in the day.

Cinematography is solid but the lack of budget shows, especially when they attempt cgi. The music is ill fitting in places and the whole thing does come across a tad cheap and nasty.

On the flipside however it has charm, it has competence behind the camera and the cast are well above par. They really do a great job in portraying the movies varying characters and it's things like that which has raised Souleater above the average.

Nobody would ever say Souleater is a good film, it really badly isn't. However a lot of talent has gone into it's production, so it's been saved to an extent.

There are worse things you could spend 90 minutes on.

The Good:

Loren Blackwell

Great characters

Neat looking creature

The Bad:

Stock screams

Feels really cheap in places

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Apparently you can successfully polish a t*rd

Finding an entire arsenal of weaponry isn't grounds for arrest

If the creature hadn't been invisible the film would have been a lot better

that reminded me of the low budget horror films that were made in the way back then. Very well done for it's low budget.... with good camera work, direction, editing and acting. It took me back to a simpler time when horror movies were more inventive and not repititious like they are today. Peter Hooten, the original Dr. Strange stars as a cantankerous Southern sheriff.

Not to bad at all. SOULEATER has some issues due to its low-budget but the camera-work is good as it the acting, though Peter Hooten is a little hammy as the stereotypical Southern sheriff. Lead actor Loren Blackwell(who is also the screenwriter) does well as a Sam Elliott-like hero. The story is suspenseful and easy to follow. Compared to the many, many micro-budget horror films out there, SOULEATER is one of the better ones.
