#185: My soul to take , Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir

Genre: Horror/Horreur

Annee/Year: 2010

Format: Blu Ray

My soul to take. The latest film (until smream 4 is out) from writer and director horror master Wes Craven (Nightmare on Elm street...). This film has split the opinions of many who have seen it. The reason being that Wes had a good idea for a script but it was a bit complicated; may be too much for many of his audience and maybe because of the contrived way he tried to tell the tale.

The story is about a multiple personality serial killer who gets finally cuaght by police. On the night he dies (in a very spectacular ambulance accident) his seven personnalities are split and find themselves in the seven babies born that night in this little town. The main part of the movie actually takes place 16 years later as our teenagers celebrate their 16th birthday in a ritual put in place by local kids to turn back the serial killer. One of the seven is the reborn killer soul and is out to get the others... will they find out which one it is before they are all dead...

An interesting concept on paper but definitely hard to get on audiences without the concept. This is a well built film with some suspense and shocks but nowhere near the originality and vision of the "Nightmare" series. Still interesting to see by the amateurs of the genre.

My soul to take. Un autre film de l'écrivain et directeur maître de l`horreur Wes Craven (Nightmare on Elm street...). Ce film a été pas mal malmené par plusieurs sans doute pour sa difficulté à en comprendre le sens. Sans doute par son audience qui n`aime pas se casser le coco mais aussi par sa manière un peu tordu de nous faire part de son histoire.

Ce film est l`histoire d`un tueur en série qui à sept personnalités et qui est finalement rattrapé par la police. Il se tue dans un accident d`ambulance vraiment spectaculaire. Ses sept âmes se retrouvent dans 7 nouveaux nées qui viennent au monde dans ce petit village ce soir là. Le majeure partie du film se déroule 16and plus tard lorsque les sept enfants atteignent leur 16ans et que leur deuxième âmes deviendra active. Le but est d`identitfier le tueur avant d`en être la victime. un bon suspense avec des chocs qui vous surprendront. Mais le film demeure loin de l`originalité de la série Nightmare. Bon pour les amateurs du genre sinon vous pouvez passer.
