I LOVE These Kind Of Movies!

Cassie along with her boyfriend Sean and there two friends, Annabel and Matt who are also in a relationship are going on one last fun night, before they go there separate ways in going to college, etc. When they all get into the car, with Cassie driving, a terrible accident happens which leaves only Cassie, Annabel and Matt surviving and Sean dying, or so it seems. After surviving the accident, Cassie who has some serious damage to her brain keeps getting nightmares and flashbacks of what happened and can see her supposedly dead boyfriend, which leaves us thinking is Cassie alive or is she dead.

The cast in Soul Survivors, includes a lot of young talent from the likes of Melissa Sagemiller, Eliza Dushku, Casey Affleck, Wes Bentley and of course Luke Wilson who all give really good performances in the movie.

Soul Survivors is a different horror movie. It's strange at times, but always interesting and exciting. It keeps you thinking things like, "why is this happening" or "who is that". The music was quite good and the effects weren't too bad either. There was nice little twist at the end of the movie to round things off as well. I just love these kind of movies and I give Soul Survivors a 10/10.
