Well, well, maybe not all is lost after all...

I have to say, I bumped into Soulkeeper one night and I really thought I was watching an '80s horror movie. Cool music, a PLOT, babes, the works. But imagine my surprise when I come to imdb to find that it's actually a post-90's! Is there a mistake here? Did something good actually come out from the ashes after the dreaded '90s? My first thoughts are that maybe the guys behind this flick somehow got frozen in time and have recently found their way through to make a nice experience of a movie for us among all of the crap that's running around.

Now don't take me wrong, this is not a classic (doesn't seem to be), may not even be a cult-film, but it sure is a relief and NOT a waste of time. Well worth watching.

Way to go.
