kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** Much like the 1962 horror classic "Carnival of Souls" the film "Soul Survivor" has to do with young Cassie, Melissa Sagemiller, who survived a car accident where her boyfriend Sean, Casey Affleck, died from severe brain trauma. It's later that Sean pops up alive and well at the gazebo that the two lover used to hang out in telling the shocked Cassie that he's quite all right, in the world beyond, and for her to go on with her life. What makes things difficult for Cassie is that these two weirdos who she met at a Halloween party before the accident show up as well making her life, or what's left of it, a living hell.Looking for help Cassie gets in touch with Father Jude played by Luke Wilson, The lovable Golden Gate Bridge toll collector in "You Kill Me", who tries to set her straight by telling her to just roll with the punches and let nature take its course or else she'll end up in a loony bin. What Father Jude keeps from Cassie***MAJOR SPOILER*** is that he's in the same place that she mow finds herself in. Cassie goes in and out of reality throughout the entire movie until the final few minutes where she finally finds out the truth about what she's been going through and in that finally finds peace for both her body & mind.What's considered by its star Casey Afflect the worst movie he ever was in "Soul Survivor" never quite makes any sense in its confusing story line as well as it having absolutely no shocks or trills at all in it. The film even falls flat in its T&A department with what was to be the big sex scene in it with Cassie and her girlfriend Annabel, Eliza Dushku, taking a shower together but not in the nude but fully clothed in their skimpy like bathing suites! We also get to see that man hungry Annabel leave her cheating boyfriend Matt, Wes Bently, who's having it on with what looks like a comatose Cassie and become a switch hitter-From both sides of the bed- and take a swing or roll in the hey with her lesbian lover Raven, Angela Featherstone, who's one of the survivors of the car accident she was in.

Sofia Duarte I've seen it a while ago, i spent my precious money on renting this piece of crap. Seriously i was traumatized, mostly because it's one of those pseudo-horror movies which ends to be a great disappointment though you already know it's gonna be bad, but you never expect it will be THIS bad! I don't know what the author was thinking, i guess his brain was overflowing with stupid ideas and he had to put them all together and then he thought "Oh crap what will the ending be? I know it has to be something totally stupid but minimally credible at the same time as an apologize to all the nonsense ideas i had before!"And i've talked too much about this awful waste of time. Just don't watch this film, please...

HumanoidOfFlesh Melissa Sagemiller,Wes Bentley,Eliza Dushku and Casey Affleck play young students at Middleton College in the town of Middleton.The four teenagers form two love triangles.One night during an ominous full moon they drive and argue along a slippery and twisting mountain road.Not looking properly they careen into another car and one or more of them are killed.The ghostly nightmare begins...Pretty lousy and politically correct horror flick without gore and nudity.It's obviously influenced by "Carnival of Souls".The cinematography is decent,unfortunately there is zero suspense.4 out of 10-just another instantly forgettable teeny-bopper trash.

Paul Andrews Soul Survivors starts as teenager Cassie (Melissa Sagemiller) moves out of her home to attend Middleton University in Chicago, there her current boyfriend Sean (Casey Affleck), her ex-boyfriend Matt (Wes Bentley) & his current girlfriend Annie (Eliza Dushku) all decide to go out clubbing together. However emotions run high & while driving back to the campus they are involved in a serious car accident in which Sean is killed. Three weeks later after the funeral & Cassie is trying to get on with her life but she starts to see Sean, she starts to see people chasing her who she thinks are out to kill her, she experiences hallucinations & her life begins to fall apart as she tries to understand what is happening to her...Written & directed by Stephen Carpenter a lot of people seem to hate Soul Survivors which is fair enough, there's absolutely nothing that says anyone has to like it in any way shape or form but I have to say I did actually like it to a degree. Originally made as an 'R' rated film Soul Survivors was cut down to get a 'PG-13' & thus appeal to a larger audience with the obligatory uncut version (called the 'The Killer Cut') being released on DVD shortly after, I will be basing my comments on the original shorter theatrical cut. The script has a few interesting ideas that I liked, I never quite knew what the makers were aiming for as it seems to switch between a psychological supernatural horror & a plain teen slasher (it starts off like a carbon copy of I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) with a car accident involving drunk teens) & I quite liked the unpredictability of it. At just over eighty odd minutes at least it's short, it's not the quickest film ever or even the most incident packed but it kept me interested throughout. I liked the character's & the mystery based plot had me fairly intrigued & I definitely wanted to know how it was going to finish. While watching Soul Survivors I suspect many people just thought it was various unconnected subplots that go nowhere & make no sense but I thought the ending was great & while it's a bit silly & maybe a bit of a cop out I thought it explained all the mysterious events neatly & tidily enough. I was going to say that Soul Survivors stole it's twist ending from Dead End (2003) but then I realised Soul Survivors was made two years prior, in fact both twist endings are basically exactly the same but since Soul Survivors came first I have to give this film the credit for it.Director Carpenter does alright, there could have been a few more scares & more gore (even 'The Killer Cut' is supposedly pretty tame & bloodless) but it sure does look good with some great cinematography. Although having said that I brought a new High Definition Sony telly yesterday & Soul Survivors was the first film I had seen on it so maybe it was just the sheer quality of the picture that impressed me, it did look bloody good though. There are some lesbian overtones but like the gore they are played down & very tame.With a supposed budget of about $14,000,000 Soul Survivors flopped at the box-office but it has good production values & is very well made. Filmed largely in Cicago in Illinois. The acting is alright, I quite liked all the character's & the young teen actors are suitably good looking.Soul Survivors is a film that most people seem to dislike, I wasn't expecting much at all with it's bad reputation but I actually ended up rather liking it for some strange reason I can't quite put my finger on.
