Reviews for Soul Survivors
Though overly reliant on quick-cut montages and shots of Cassie running down hallways, writer/director Steve Carpenter delivers some modest thrills alongside the usual teen-horror clichés.
09/17/01
Soulless, spookless sludge.
09/14/01
Top CriticFor all its eerie lighting, chase scenes and people in glass masks, this film doesn't have a single good boo in it.
09/07/01
A pathetic parade of standard-issue jumps and frights that can't raise a single goosebump.
09/08/01
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.
01/22/02
Yawn.
06/20/02
Soul Survivors is such a numbingly opaque and enervating movie experience that even Jeepers Creepers seems poetic and luminous by comparison.
09/10/01
Top CriticSo awful I feel compelled to knock on doors and warn people about it.
09/10/01
An exercise in spinning wheels, a muddle of images, ideas, and characters that don't go anywhere, let alone make any sense.
12/08/02
'Different' doesn't exactly mean 'good,' and this surprisingly sedate supernatural story proves that point quite well.
10/09/01
A cinematic oxymoron: the tasteful teensploitation pic.
09/14/01
Top CriticA sentimental story of little suspense and scant terror.
09/10/01
Top CriticYou'd probably get the same enjoyment out of watching a public safety advert.
04/16/03
Purgatory is an apt metaphor for the experience the new horror movie Soul Survivors offers its audiences. It may not amount to torment, but watching it definitely borders on torture.
09/07/01
It doesn't entertain, it's confusing, it rarely excites and it feels pretty redundant for most of its runtime, despite a pretty cool ending
09/07/01
Too predictable, not scary or unnerving enough, and gets unwieldy when it should be tightening its cinematic noose around the viewer's neck.
09/10/01
It's another pale attempt to mollify an underestimated teenage audience with a slapped together horror premise.
02/04/02
A horror movie without horror, a spook pic without spookiness and a metaphysical drama without the slightest spiritual tug.
03/27/09
Top CriticCarpenter's script rummages through a closetful of horror-movie cliches and drags them all out sooner or later.
