The Bottom of the Career of a Former Master of Horror
13 March 2011
In Riverton, the mentally ill serial killer Abel Plenkov (Raúl Esparza) aka The Riverton Ripper has multiple personalities kills his pregnant wife Sarah (Alexandra Wilson). He calls his doctor and when Dr. Blake (Harris Yulin) arrives, Abel kills him and a police officer in front of their little daughter Leah. While going to the hospital, there is an accident and his body is never found. In the same night, there are seven births in one hour and people believe his soul will reincarnate in one of the seven children that are known as The Riverton Seven.

Sixteen years later, the ghost of the Riverton Ripper seems to have returned seeking revenge and the teenager Adam "Bug" Hellerman (Max Thieriot) has dreadful nightmares with the killer. The teenager Jay Chan (Jeremy Chu ) is murdered on the old railroad bridge. Then the students of the Riverton High School Penelope (Zena Grey); the bully Brandon (Nick Lashaway); and Brittany Cunningham (Paulina Olszynski) are murdered by the killer. When Bug and his sister Fang (Emily Meade) are attacked by the killer, Bug asks his friend Alex (John Magaro) if he is the killer or whether Abel Plenkov is alive and has returned to revenge.

The lame "My Soul to Take" is an awful horror movie by Wes Craven. This film is certainly the bottom of the career of the former master of horror, with a ridiculous story full of clichés and badly developed characters. The lines and the premise are so stupid that does not worth a long review in respect to the past of this writer and director. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "A Sétima Alma" ("The Seventh Soul")
