Synopsis: After surviving a car crash that killed her boyfriend (Casey Affleck), Cassandra (Melissa Sagemiller) finds herself haunted by his ghost. A priest (Luke Wilson) tries to exorcize these frightful... After surviving a car crash that killed her boyfriend (Casey Affleck), Cassandra (Melissa Sagemiller) finds herself haunted by his ghost. A priest (Luke Wilson) tries to exorcize these frightful visions from Cassandra's mind, but her college friends see her vulnerability as the perfect outlet for their malicious plans. She tries to carry on her life like all the other college freshmen, but it unravels when she begins to believe she is being stalked. Then Cassandra has horrifying hallucinations; during a midterm, she bleeds profusely all over her desk, and the drain in her shower explodes with blood. Gradually, Cassandra understands what is happening to her, but will she be able to survive? Neal H. Moritz and Stokley Chaffin, the producers of I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, deliver another teenage horror gore flick, but this one has a punk rock edginess that bests their previous efforts. Wes Bentley (AMERICAN BEAUTY) is creepy as Cassandra's obsessive ex-boyfriend, and Eliza Dushku is hilarious as his slutty girlfriend. SOUL SURVIVORS borrows the visually murky slime of JACOB'S LADDER and mixes it with the gradually unveiling horror of STIR OF ECHOES for a uniquely haunting result. [More]

A horror movie without horror, a spook pic without spookiness and a metaphysical drama without the slightest spiritual tug.

You'd probably get the same enjoyment out of watching a public safety advert.

A serviceable entry in the low-budget horror column, and makes the most of its limited resources with stirring imagery and a full-blown performance by its star.

An exercise in spinning wheels, a muddle of images, ideas, and characters that don't go anywhere, let alone make any sense.

'Soul' is the one of the many things lacking in this sad excuse for a horror film.

Things just get sillier and sillier until even the silliness is overwhelmed by the crushing banality of the denouement.

Dull and inept. It probably won't offend your sensibilities but it may insult your intelligence.

It's another pale attempt to mollify an underestimated teenage audience with a slapped together horror premise.

It's a terrible punning title... Quite apart from being lame in itself, it actually helps to give away the correspondingly lame ending in this teen horror vehicle for Hollywood's newest, cutest young stars.

When it thinks it is building atmosphere and mystery, it's really just meandering and suffering from dank cinematography.

Blatantly cannibalising every horror movie it can think of in the attempt to produce some patchwork Frankenstein's monster.

A toothless, fright-free journey into dullsville.

'Different' doesn't exactly mean 'good,' and this surprisingly sedate supernatural story proves that point quite well.

A badly acted, unoriginal, irritating movie...Easily one of the worst films of 2001.
