Before about 16 years ago, the provincial town Riverton by a serial killer hit until it could be schizophrenic, his actions are unconscious husband and father Abel Plankov made one night and brought down. Since then, believe the residents of the sleepy town, that the spirit of Riverton Rippers there still is on the loose. The superstition about curses dark and fateful employs the reincarnations - oops - 16 year old teenager of the place, so look for this annual ritual to drive in the soul of the murderer. For like seven children were born in what was then the night of death, among them the shy bug. When the Ripper actually go back and complete his work seems, must also meet the boy's terrible legacy: He might be the son of the serial killer. "My Soul To Take is Wes Craven's first film for over 15 years, he not only directed but also has written himself. It is a very curious, some very trashy, and above all interesting film by American criticism, not only in land was crushed, but wanted to see in his homeland, not human. Craven, however, one is clear from the start: This is not only a very personal film, but also a crazy best of his director. Right in the hysterically overwrought, almost karikaturesk cut exposure celebrates Craven, the quasi-revival of his mediensatirischen Horrorpersiflage "Shocker" before the fatalistic plot revolving around a faceless teenage killer from the past - seem to know about the parents back more than their children - once his bizarre masterpiece "A Nightmare on Em Street while watching.
afraid Because of this smorgasbord of pure self-citations and references his own work onto any effort to tell a fairly logical story, or at least superficially to say as a teen-horror, it is aimed straight at the wide audience over. The plot of "My Soul To Take" proves rather than elliptical linked chain of associations in the Craven with a dream-like mood motif constants of his previous films. This may be due to the many omissions, the most completely incoherent script and the muddled production that sometimes drifts like the religious or esoteric, as told to feel bad, just as clearly the normative (standardized) film criticism in the U.S.. One can suspect that the apparent confusion of the film but also a concept: After all, Craven played in "Shocker" , "New Nightmare" and "Scream" with narratives, cliches and the carrying capacity the genre. The storytelling crudeness of the film is much too interesting to be able to dismiss at least the narrative confusion as mere dilettantism. understated solo in the dialogues, which would still strange to name ("It's not okay for everybody to kill each other all the time.") can "My Soul To Take" detect a certain lack of seriousness. At times infantile, then again most fascinating Craven also varied images of his previous films, reinterprets or does it ad absurdum. to the genre cliches which have been designated in "Scream" plowing, and of course, were also served, are multiplying here so bluntly saying that sometimes you really do not know if you giggle or shake his head. The curious anticlimax final between crazy and genius is that fluctuating strategy (?) Finally to the crown, but after the obvious lack of planning directorial struck their roots, Craven demonstrated uncredited meticulous storyboards that give the final nonsense retroactively turn structure.
And then they will just look yet again just how behind all the apparent nonsense themes and motifs hide running through the Craven's entire career. From an adolescent under his characters' perspective, he visualizes also questions about parental authority and adolescent self-realization, and most recently in the teen werewolf grotesque "Cursed" he coded it the sufficient problems of growing up: Attendance is the young protagonist his murderous heritage and delivered combat the gradual loss of reality as vehemently as other than their teenage pimples. The genre usual hocus-pocus once removed, turns out the film in the core - as "A Nightmare On Elm Street" - as a coming-of-age story, which significantly contributes Craven's handwriting, and as so often in the midst of the town court to hell is located. At first glance, the inaccurate pass for a commercial, with a supernatural slasher ungekonnter impact, but "My Soul To Take" is just primarily a film about its director. Suburbia-teen-horror that the sub- Above or whatever for exhibiting uninhibited sounds of all previous Cravens twisted, and added somehow trivialized. Calculated between naive and reckless frivolous, deeply mysterious, but also highly attractive. Subtext becomes text, and the already Rewritten still interpreted in a different way - "Scream" as "Scream" - "Scream" , Meta as elevation. "My Soul To Take" maybe that's what Craven imagines himself in his creative work, their own intuitive reception Again as film or even issued joke. The fact that he, the annulment of his strongest Work is risked, it may not matter. After finally postmodernism follows the return to the emotions.
