There are three strands of palpable fear at the darkened heart of Wes Craven’s My Soul to Take, and that’s precisely why it’s one of the year’s scariest films.
Craven plays upon the audience’s fear of the unknown with the supernatural element of the film’s monster, “The Riverton Ripper.” At the same time, he builds a level of tangible terror with the dread surrounding serial killers in modern American life. Then, there’s an atmosphere of godlessness in the woodsy Riverton, Massachusetts that Craven architects better than anyone. The filmmaker scares the audience with this three-pronged approach, and it slashes and gashes at all the right moments.
My Soul to Take follows Bug—the captivating Max Thieriot—a teen who doesn’t really fit in. Bug is one of the “Riverton Seven,” seven kids who were all born prematurely the night that the “Riverton Ripper” (allegedly) died.
