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]

Reviews for Soul Survivors
A badly acted, unoriginal, irritating movie...Easily one of the worst films of 2001.
A muddled script and sloppy editing render the first half of the film nearly incomprehensible.
'Soul' is the one of the many things lacking in this sad excuse for a horror film.
The problem here isn’t just the ludicrous and sometimes-confusing story. It also features awesomely awful dialogue.
Survivors is a truly awful mix of bad direction, nonsensical story line and dialogue that appears to have been made up on the spot.
For all its eerie lighting, chase scenes and people in glass masks, this film doesn't have a single good boo in it.
If most thrillers were as original and well-made as this one, we'd all be very lucky.
An incoherent jumble of horror-movie cliches, capped by a post- 'Sixth Sense' surprise twist that falls completely flat.
You'd probably get the same enjoyment out of watching a public safety advert.
When it thinks it is building atmosphere and mystery, it's really just meandering and suffering from dank cinematography.
