Soul Survivors

Genuinely one of the laziest movies I've ever seen. Nothing about the film screams "effort" and I think they had to throw in chaotic editing to make up for the fact that they had no real story. What the hell was this movie?

A car accident kills a girl's boyfriend and she feels guilty about it. She tries to move on and constantly sees people chasing her, trying to bring her into the after-life? I must admit, I'm totally guessing here because I have no idea what the story is. Things just...happen. She has a few jump scares, a few "did that really happen" scenes and then we're done.

Trying to appeal to the teenage audience, this film insults anyone who sits down to watch it. I'm literally sitting here scratching my head at the "film". It's a wannabe Jacob's Ladder, that's my best description. It's lazy, insulting and boring. Not a single "scare" moment, no sense of tension or despair and most importantly no sense of story-driven direction. The film feels aimless, going in circles with the same scenes playing out slightly different each time. Was the ending supposed to make us surprised at the fact that so and so isn't real? I don't know, maybe the filmmakers thought they had some clever on their hands.

There is an interesting story here, I'll admit that. The bone structure is ripe for a talented crew to tell it...but this film...my God....I just don't know.
