Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
disdressed12 "Evil Lives aka "Soulmates" is weird to say the least.it's a Gothic horror/comedy/romance. the movie is very humorous at times,and many people might think it is unintentional.however,i believe it actually intends to be humorous and doesn't take itself seriously at all.it borrows from many other movies,so it's not original by any means.there are lapses in logic and what seems like bad acting.but like i said,it's all done tongue in cheek.if you listen carefully to the dialogue,you will notice this.i did not see anything resembling horror in it,but there is some suspense.there is a romance of sorts,but it's very twisted.it also moves quite slowly and is boring at times.basically it's about a serial killer of sorts,but no ordinary serial killer.there is an added element which makes the movie a bit more interesting than it would otherwise be,and it's amusing at times.the acting is deliberately over the top.this is no masterpiece,but it's not awful either.i give it 5/10
Paul Andrews Soulmate sis set in the American town of Hillsdale where famous horror book author Richard Wayborn (Tristan Rogers) is approached by a student named Laura (Melissa Moore) who asks's him for his autograph having just seen him conduct at lecture at her college. Richard becomes very friendly & ask's Laura if she would like a bite to eat with him, Laura jumps at the chance & in no time at all they arrive at the local fast food restaurant drive-thru. Richard spikes Laura's coke with a deadly poison & before long Laura is deader than a dodo & her body has been possessed by Richard's dead wife's soul, they head off to a seedy motel & have sex. Unfortunately Richard needs freshly deceased bodies on a regular basis as the effect doesn't last long & next on his list of potential victims is sexy student Sara Foster (Arabella Holzbog), Richard turns on the charm & invites Sara to his home where he intends to kill her but things don't go according to plan, Sara escapes & contacts the police & her boyfriend Scott (Tyrone Power Jr.) who just happens to be a detective. Richard & his wife Rachel decide that Sara must be silenced to protect their dark secret...Directed by Thunder Levin Soulmates is, in my opinion, complete crap. The script by Matt Devlen, James Hankins & Adam Winston is painfully slow & dull, it has no proper explanation for anything that's happening & why on Earth did it take three people to write it? For a start we, the viewer that is, have virtually no idea how Rachel can jump from body to body, all we get is some vague dialogue, which amounts to two lines, about a witch doctor. What happens to her soul when she isn't in a body? Why can't she just stay in the same body? Why can't she search morgues for the recently deceased? Surely that would be a bit safer than having to kill dozens of young girls? The whole film is very linear with a few girls being killed & Sara's discovery of what's going on at which point she becomes a target. The character's are unlikable & as dull as dishwater.Soulmates takes itself far too seriously & as a dramatic piece of film-making it falls flat on it's face, there is very little horror in Soulmates & I thought it played more like a thriller. You will probably spot the so-called twist ending coming a mile off.Director Levin does nothing to distinguish Soulmates from any other piece of low budget crap, it has no style or any noteworthy attributes. Forget about any tension or excitement either & you can forget about any gore or violence as there is a brief stabbing, a broken finger, a drowning, some gunshot wounds & that's it. There is some sex & nudity though.Technically Soulmates is bland & forgettable. It reminds of a made-for-TV film which is in no way a compliment. The acting is of a pretty poor standard while porn star Julie Strain makes an appearance as does cult film director/actor Paul Bartel in the films most bizarre scene.Soulmates is pretty poor stuff from beginning to end & thankfully quite hard to get hold of, but if you do have the misfortune to get hold of a copy then all I can say is I feel sympathy for you. Definitely one to avoid.
bigwig_thalyi Why did i buy this piece of trash.I bought it at my video store for £1 because it looked interesting from the cover.Now I understand why they say don't judge a video by it's cover. The film was about a 600 year old mortal who kills a string of young women in search of a perfect body in which to resurrect his dead wife, however the perfect girl eludes him and he spends the film stalking her. This film doesn't know whether to be a erotic supernatural thriller or a slasher movie and ends up being neither. i'll start with the good points as there aren't many.If you are into films with female nudity then this film is for you as there are plenty of scenes involving naked women but if you are looking for a film with a good plot and strong characters then this film is best left on the shelf. Now the bad points:The film is supposed to be scary and isn't,the villain has about as much menace as a bag of jellybeans,you feel no sympathy for the heroine,the acting is atrocious and because of poor editing it is a bit disjointed. If you see this film walk past it and do not waste your money as the film,in my opinion has no redeeming features. if I could i'd give this film 0 out of 10 I would but as I can't I will give it 1 out of 10
bdobson Now I am all for cheese and in fact I rented this film full well knowing that I was not going to be seeing anything of high art. However there is a dramatic difference between a film that is so awful it is good and a film that is just plain awful. If perhaps the film itself had not taken itself seriously it may have worked better as black comedy. Instead the events on screen seem to be done with no humor while the music (some of which sounding carnival in nature) is anything but serious. So if they were indeed attempting humor they did manage it but not in the way they may have been intending.Acting wise the film is a wash as well but for nudity buffs this is one of the first films in a while not to shy away that aspect of the genre.So if you have a hankering for self abuse you may in the end enjoy it enough for a few minor kicks.
