Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Perfect cast and a good story

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Perhaps I would have liked this film better if I hadn't been so distracted by the incredible fakeness and plastic appearance of the lead actress, Monica Keena. I don't know which has more silicone: her lips or her bosom. For a while into the film I wondered why in every scene she was eating a bagel, then I realized it was simply her lips. Her augmentations made her appear more of a joke than a serious actress. No doubt those were her only qualifications for being cast in this role, since it obviously was not her acting ability.With a better actress in the lead role, or even one without exaggerated props, this could have been a good film. The premise was different enough to make it interesting and above the usual fray. Sadly, though, I cannot recommend it.

Family tragedy seems to be affect the young people often. For Celia(Monica Keena) losing a loved one seems to have taken its toll on her. When she was born, her mother died. Then she has the friend who saved her from a on-coming car when she was young. On her 21st birthday, she goes to a fraternity party where she is drugged, raped, and killed. Talk about having a hard life. She ends up being the next family tragedy, and no close relative to tell the news. Only her "friend" Donovan(David Anders) tells her who to avoid, and who to trust. Donovan was her guardian angel throughout her life, until she learns he's not the trusting person he claims to be. She does find the guy who drugged and raped her, before she died. And he gets his just desserts after he commits suicide. Seems like the only family member who was at peace was her mother. The only person in the family who could be saved was her grandfather, Joe(Tim Thomerson). He was always around Celia until his death, and knowing who Donovan worked for, made her think for herself. I guess she knew what it takes to be a guardian angel. I know that Celia will definitely earn her wings. This horror is intriguing, and some form of biblical matter was mentioned. It was worth the watch. 3 out of 5 stars!

Well i think this movie is based on a great idea ... but damn' the acting is poor. And it wasn't such a hard to play role... isn't it??For the good vs evil movies fan .. well you should see this movie once... bun never try it twice or more ;D!Such a shame... It could be a very good movie.For sure isn't a great movie, but i think you should find it interesting after all.The action.... the storyline... sometimes goes far beyond simple logic... why she keeps going outside? why the soul-eaters so fast sometimes.. in other situations trip on the stairs?... but... than again... isn't a great movie...:D

i thought this film was actually quite good. i watched it on 'zone horror', which usually airs low budget gore-fests (not a bad thing, i love em), so i was surprised to find this film which contained minimal guts, a couple of scares and was quite intelligent. i thought it had original ideas, in a genre which has spawned film after film of teen horror flicks which follow the same pattern over and over. i found the soul takers creepy, without being jump-behind-the-couch-pray-for-your-life scary. i did, however, guess the end ALL along, but I've spent my life watching this sort of thing, so i guess 99.9% of anything i watch.if your the sort of person who likes a good scare, without all the gore and jumps most films have, i'd recommend this one. and in fact, as a person who DOES like all the gore and the scares, i still liked it.
