What critics compared My Soul to Take to
After the worst film of his career, the dreadful “My Soul to Take,” Wes Craven proves yet again that he has the ability to bounce back and offer a bloody slice of entertainment as well-made as most of the films he has inspired in the decades since his debut.
Director Wes Craven continues to make movies in a universe where teenagers throw parties to celebrate serial killers (see My Soul to Take), while writer Kevin Williamson once again uses the terms “cinema” and “slasher flick” in the same breath.
Unlike Craven’s recent writing/directing effort My Soul to Take (read our review ), Scream 4 is brought to life once again by the surprisingly cohesive collaboration between the director and Williamson’s script.
In 1996, director Wes Craven (2010's " My Soul to Take ") and screenwriter Kevin Williamson (2005's " Cursed ") broke barriers and single-handedly jump-started a dying genre with " Scream ," a post-modern, part-satirical, part-scary comment on characters well-versed in pop culture and the so-called rules of horror movies who find themselves at the center of their very own slasher film.
A thunderously boring and astonishingly inept piece of work, My Soul to Take follows several teenagers as they're knocked off one by one by a mysterious figure that may or may not be the ghost of a notorious killer.
