Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray to Lord my soul to keep.
And if I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
My bedtime prayer has always creeped me out a bit. Wes Craven, the legendary horror directer made My Soul to Take, a distinctive slasher film much more different than his Scream and Nightmare series. My Soul to Take is a more obscure movie on a series of fictional murders in which the victims were killed brutally.
Like in most of Craven's movies, the plot focuses on a group of high school kids who live in the same town, previously targeted by a the Ripper many years ago. History begins to repeat itself when teenagers start dying in the same tragic ways. Is it just a coincidence, or is the Riverton Ripper back for revenge after 17 years to fulfill his curse that he would kill all the seven kids born on the same day he died. As the movie proceeds, it doesn't get easier guessing who the killer might be.
I agree with the fact that Wes Craven has directed movie much better than this one. The movie though does offer horror fans some novelties. For example, the scenes where Bug voices out his friends dialogues in that creepy way and that scene where Bug copies Alex's actions for about a minute. The fact that the protagonist was actually the son of a psychotic murderer is also something distinctive about this movie. I mean they don't show anything like that in other movie. To sum it up, I would give a 6/10 to My Soul To Take.
See you next time.
