    The only possible reason to see this otherwise average afternoon waster is Sagemiller.

    Despite the handsome production values and best efforts of the attractive young cast, it's hard to get deeply involved with the frantic "what's going on?" sturm und drang.

    One of those frustrating movies that takes forever to get where it's going, and once arriving, the frustration is increased because one realizes how much better it should have been.

    A horror movie that's not horrific enough, Soul Survivors plays like a "Twilight Zone" by way of "Touched by an Angel."

    It's nonsense. Even when its big secret is revealed in the final moments, it adds up to nothing more than a dizzy, dark, hysterical waste of time.

    The actors are game, but their roles lack color and depth, and it's a real struggle to survive Soul Survivors to the finish.

    There is an explanation for everything, but it is a long time coming and not worth the wait.

    The film was cut down from an R rating to get a PG-13, but even if it had full-on Eliza Dushku nudity -- and it doesn't have anything close -- Soul Survivors would still suck.

    A horror movie without horror, a spook pic without spookiness and a metaphysical drama without the slightest spiritual tug, Soul Survivors virtually dwindles away on the screen.

    A truly awful mix of bad direction, nonsensical story line and dialogue that appears to have been made up on the spot.
