Wes Craven’s new horror flick, My Soul to Take, is getting released on Halloween.
Nothing much special about that, is there? Well, actually, it’s the horror maestro’s first original script since New Nightmare back in the mid-1990s.
The plot centres on a serial killer returning to murder the kids who were all dragged out of their mothers vaginas on the night of the killer’s death. Hmm…doesn’t that remind you of another certain Wes Craven movie?
The director has called the movie’s baddie: “A figure who sleeps under bridges and deep in the woods and eats bark”.
No, he’s not describing what Robert Englund gets up to these days since he was jettisoned from playing Freddie in the Nightmare On Elm Street remake. He’s gone for a cast of unknowns to: Max Thieriot, John Magaro, Nick Lashaway and Emily Meade.
So what will My Soul To Take actually be like? Will it have a scene of the killer eating bark and announcing he’s “barking mad?” Or “barking up the wrong tree?”
Between this, Saw VII 3D, and Paranormal Activity 2, October 2010 is shaping up quite nicely! It's about damned time, too. Craven’s movie is taking on Saw VII…wonder who’d win between Bark Eater and Jigsaw?
Synopsis
Quote:
From writer/director Wes Craven comes a thriller that warns us evil is working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And if you have any chance of beating it, you'll have to fight for your life.
In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven teens, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? Only one of the kids knows the answer.
Adam "Bug" Heller (Max Thierot) was supposed to die on the bloody night his father went insane. Unaware of his dad’s terrifying crimes, he has been plagued by nightmares since he was a baby. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that’s returned, he must face an evil that won’t rest ... until it finishes the job it began the day he was born.
