Things just get sillier and sillier until even the silliness is overwhelmed by the crushing banality of the denouement.

Top CriticA horror movie without horror, a spook pic without spookiness and a metaphysical drama without the slightest spiritual tug.

Top Critic[A] dodo of suspense.
02/09/06
...[a] dead zone of a movie.

You'd probably get the same enjoyment out of watching a public safety advert.
04/16/03
A serviceable entry in the low-budget horror column, and makes the most of its limited resources with stirring imagery and a full-blown performance by its star.
02/08/03
An exercise in spinning wheels, a muddle of images, ideas, and characters that don't go anywhere, let alone make any sense.
12/08/02
'Soul' is the one of the many things lacking in this sad excuse for a horror film.
10/30/02
Yawn.
06/20/02
Dull and inept. It probably won't offend your sensibilities but it may insult your intelligence.
06/03/02
It's another pale attempt to mollify an underestimated teenage audience with a slapped together horror premise.
02/04/02
It's a terrible punning title... Quite apart from being lame in itself, it actually helps to give away the correspondingly lame ending in this teen horror vehicle for Hollywood's newest, cutest young stars.

Top CriticWhen it thinks it is building atmosphere and mystery, it's really just meandering and suffering from dank cinematography.
01/20/02
Blatantly cannibalising every horror movie it can think of in the attempt to produce some patchwork Frankenstein's monster.
01/07/02
A toothless, fright-free journey into dullsville.
10/15/01
'Different' doesn't exactly mean 'good,' and this surprisingly sedate supernatural story proves that point quite well.
10/09/01
[A] jumbled botch.
10/08/01
A badly acted, unoriginal, irritating movie...Easily one of the worst films of 2001.
