Synopsis

Long protected by dark shadows and hidden by secrets, a tattered book of unspeakable power that was written by the ancient druids has survived on the Earth for centuries. But when a group of young orphans stumble upon the book and unleash its vengeful power through a bloody and selfish act, they could endanger the unsuspecting teens enjoying a weekend camping trip in the woods -- or jeopardize their own lives.

disdressed12 this is one truly awful--i hesitate to use the word--movie.it's very low budget,which isn't always a bad thing.the real problem with this movie is the abysmal acting,which overshadows everything.the story is stupid also.i have seen better high school plays,i kid you not.i didn't make it any where near the end of this movie.it just got to the point where i couldn't take it anymore.i felt sure my head would explode if i watched another microsecond.just because you have a camera and some friends to appear in in front of said camera,doesn't mean you are making a movie.i don't know what this was,but movie doesn't describe it.this is just my opinion,and some people may have fun with how awful it is,but i thought it was beyond that point.this turkey gets a very well deserved 0/10
Stacclai OK so there was some shotty acting points. and some not so great camera work sometimes, but overall I LOVED the movie! Given the right budget and better equipment I think the exact same people could have done something even more AMAZING with it. you can over analyze ANY movie and say they could have acted better, the directing could be better, in every movie made But the story line in this one was awesome. I've seen more high budget films that can't even think of a NEW plot line, that rake in MILLIONS that don't even COMPARE to the genius behind this movie. I LOVED IT!!! I only wish that more people could find something half as good to make a movie out of, I'd probably go see more of them then.
ghoulieguru In DESPERATE SOULS, a bunch of teenagers who go for a hike in the woods are possessed by demons and they start killing each other. The basic storyline is like EVIL DEAD but this movie has no style whatsoever and doesn't have the benefit of Sam Raimi's direction. This is more like Evil Dud.I'm surprised that this awful movie wasn't made and distributed by the Asylum. It had all the shoddy production values, cardboard acting and horrible video camera quality of most Asylum movies. The storyline was extremely hard to follow, and after a while I just stopped trying to make sense of it. I'm not even sure exactly how or why these teens were possessed by demons. There's a vague reference to an ancient book of Druidic magic, which I guess serves the same purpose that the Necronomicon did in Evil Dead.To give you an idea of how flaccid and forgettable this movie is, I can't even tell you how it ended. This should be filed with every movie from the Asylum and CreepFX under Complete Waste of Time and Money.
majikmarkerz If you bought/rented this movie, then I have some swamp land to sell you. This movie was a horrible mix of every terrible B-movie made in the last 10 years and the Blair Witch Project.After watching a trailer, I decided that this movie might be funny horror in the tradition of Evil Dead or Army of Darkness.... how wrong I was.This movie has SERIOUS holes in the plots. After the first 10 minutes, this movie becomes very difficult to continue watching because of the serious plot flaws. The Anti-hero is basically a bum that lives in a tin shack, yet has a fur coat (wtf!). It makes no sense what-so- ever. Then the Anti-hero meets the other hero character (they don't know each other) Then the next scene they are running around like childhood friends. That is just the beginning of the long trail of inconstancies that will make you want to scratch your eyes out.I would recommend this movie for film Teachers to use as a tool to show what you don't want to do in a movie.Desperate Souls is a great example of these sub-par home-made horror movies that the studios buy for dirt cheap, then they like to roll them out around Halloween. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH THIS MOVIE! ! ! ! !I predict the only people watching this movie are the folks that starred in it.If IMDb would let me rate it a (-) negative number I would.
