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 Bugâ€”the captivating Max Thieriotâ€”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.
