Review – Keeper of Souls

Okay, now it’s official. For the record I hereby swear off horror movies with the word “keeper” in the title. Of all the pictures in this accidental sub-genre this was the worst, and that’s saying something. It isn’t just sloppy and amateurish. At points it was actually like scenes were actually missing. I know sometimes Hollywood Videos rents stuff that’s been butchered for the suburban market, but this was missing basic transitional material rather than just the gory and/or racy bits. The opening titles – probably the most expensive part of the whole movie – explain that the story has something to do with a “dark man” who vanished from Salem after the witch trials and resurfaced in the South sometime later. Not a bad premise, but the movie that follows this brief intro is just too poorly crafted to take advantage of the push it started with. Wish I’d skipped it
