I saw it uncut and enjoyed it.

I agree with LindaMu, I enjoyed this movie and think Gregg Thomsen is gorgeous! I own the uncut version on DVD. The pace is a little slow at times and the storyline is a little ridiculous, but so was Spiderman! With NO money to work with, I'm surprised the filmmakers even finished this movie! It's a pretty ambitious movie for something with no budget and that's probably why it has some problems. The director must have worked like heck just to complete all the shooting on a heavy squeeze. From my understanding, it's a fact he got the producers their money back plus a whole lot more. With that script too? To me, that's pretty impressive. Anyway, for the balance, count me a Soultaker fan. Hey Gregg, you're a cutie and I'd jump at the chance to make a soul pact with you honey, any time! Nice job!
