Average Rating:2.6/10

Consensus: Soul Survivors' stock characters and utter lack of suspense gives viewers little reason to attempt deciphering the confusing plot.

Runtime: 85 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

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 pathetic parade of standard-issue jumps and frights that can't raise a single goosebump.

The problem here isn’t just the ludicrous and sometimes-confusing story. It also features awesomely awful dialogue.

A by-the-numbers horror movie whose only real scare comes from the sudden blast of a starter's pistol at a swim meet.

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

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

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.

For all its eerie lighting, chase scenes and people in glass masks, this film doesn't have a single good boo in it.
