Day to Day

Day 6 of my 31 day horror film binge.  Kind of cheated a bit with this one as I have seen it before.  Its been that long though, that I had forgotten what it was about........lol.  The film is My Soul to Take.

There were a lot of this type of film made in the late 90's up until about 2012.  The idea behind them is to question whether the film is about something supernatural, or just a plain human killer.  This film synopsis centres around a group of seven children who were all born on the same day a killer, known as the ripper, is said to have been killed.  Sixteen years later all of the teenagers are now in high school and for some bizarre reason not only do they celebrate their birthdays each year, but they also have ripper day.  Which is basically a mock up of pretending that the spirit of the ripper comes out of a lake and each year one of the chosen seven has to kill it and banish it back to its watery grave,

This particular year things don't go according to plan and one by one the ripper seven start being brutally murdered.  Its then up to the watcher to decide if the rippers spirit is killing them, or something else.  Throw into this mix that one of them could be the rippers child and you get a pretty good horror film.  Blood is overdone (for effect) and unless you are new to this genre you will figure out what is going on.  I would give it 5 out of 10.  There are lots of these films and this is not one of the better ones.
