It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

"The Soultangler" is a very low budget film with an intriguing premise that takes a while to get where it is going but pays off spectacularly in the end. Dr. Anton Lupesky invents Anphiorum, a drug that allows the user's soul to leave their body and inhabit any corpse that still has eyes (yes being the window to the soul after all). The side effect is horrible, maddening hallucinations that kill most of the drug's users. Though the beginning is slow going as to be expected from a lot of trash horror films of this era, the story builds nicely and has a fantastically gore-soaked climax that makes the previous 70 minutes entirely worth it. Every ounce of the tiny budget is on screen and though the actors might not be professionals and the camera-work is shaky, there is a passion and a heart to this film that movies will hundred million dollar budgets cannot match.If you don't go in expecting constant action or thrills and accept that this is a micro-budget film determined to tell a surreal, dream-like story of science gone horribly wrong, you will enjoy it. Trust me though, stick with it till the ending and you will love this film.

A crazy scientist called Anton Lupesky develops a drug called Anphorium, which makes the soul leaves the body and enters in any corpse with eyes. It affects the nerve center, causing madness as side effect.I was able to watch exactly fifteen minutes of this crap. This thing is so awful that I was tempt to watch more, to see how far is the mental incapability of this moron amateurish Pat Bishow. I do not know who the worst is: this director, the writer or the producer, maybe all of them together. These guys deserved to be sued for such a horrible crap. It certainly is the worst flick I have ever tried to see. I borrowed this VHS from my friend Ricardo, and I advise him: get rid off this garbage, do not waste your time on this trash. My vote is zero (one in IMDb lowest rating).Title (Brazil): "O Embrulhador de Almas" ("The Soul Wrapper")

... for I thought this movie fell out of another dimension. A dimension of horrible movies, that is. Some dimension where Redneck Zombies is Four Star or greater. I am sure it was a weekend diversion for some of no talent to create this film. That it was released to the public... unreal. I have better films of my dog rolling in dead rabbits. Funny thing is that I still own my copy and will likely never part with it. Why? Who knows. Life is like that. I bought a VHS copy for three dollars. Judging from the packaging alone, I paid too much. Once viewed however, I was sure I should have been paid to watch it. The use of Edgar Allan Poe's "Dream Within a Dream" was very disturbing. Not that it was being spewed by a spooky doll head, but that I like E.A.P., and am quite saddened they could not choose a worse poet to hack. Highlights? Well, in one scene, after the first bloody scenes, two characters are walking through a basement and you get to see a large box hastily marked "Ketchup". Now, with such poor effects (and no budget for Karo Syrup or even one of Raimi's recipes) I am sure that box belonged to whatever fool was in charge of FX. Not even cute, useless and boring as hell... ensure you are paid to watch this movie if ever at all. You have been warned.
