BD Review: Wes Craven’s ‘My Soul to Take’ Breaks My Brain
Forget waiting until tomorrow, I just got back from the midnight showing of Wes Crave’s My Soul to Take and couldn’t wait to share my thoughts with you dear readers. Let’s just say, my brain still hurts: “With a seemingly simple plot, Craven’s slasher is actually one of the most complicated films I have ever seen… The problem with ‘My Soul to Take’ isn’t in its concept, it’s in the execution. It’s overly complex and nearly impossible to explain with images, which is why the slasher turns into a visual table read in the final act.” Click the title above for the full review and then check back here over the weekend to write your own. I promise that you’re going to want to discuss this one (I haven’t had such a heated conversation after a movie in forever).
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
