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.

A cinematic oxymoron: the tasteful teensploitation pic.

The concept of the story is far more interesting than the finished product, which is standard fare at best.

Survivors is a truly awful mix of bad direction, nonsensical story line and dialogue that appears to have been made up on the spot.

It's a real struggle to survive Soul Survivors to the finish.

For an exploitation flick, Soul Survivors also is woefully slow.

Soul Survivors is such a numbingly opaque and enervating movie experience that even Jeepers Creepers seems poetic and luminous by comparison.

Soul Survivors wants to be like a bad dream and it succeeds. Unfortunately, bad in this case doesn't mean scary and surreal. It means boring and confused.

A sentimental story of little suspense and scant terror.

The film is a dog. It's tepid and clumsy, and entirely derivative.
