My Soul to Take (2010)
An interesting film - though very unexpected.
I just got back from seeing "My Soul to Take" in 3D, and I have to say that while the film was interesting, it was extremely unexpected. I will explain through various different sections.
A) The 3D is pointless -- This was one of my biggest gripes. The 3D in this film did NOTHING for the experience. It didn't add any scares, the movie made no use of it, and all it seemed that it was for was the $11.00 movie ticket price. Ripoff.
B) The movie is more funny than scary -- Wes Craven has a knack for horror storytelling, and is one of the best. And we all know that Wes Craven horror movies are not without their sense of humor too (e.g. Scream). However what this film lacked was a focus on the fundamental aspect on horror. I found myself laughing at most parts - the dialog is cheesy, the ripper is a comical character with a few good one-liners, and the scares are often times a joke. Overall though, it did send shivers down my spine a few times, but no jumps.
C) Hard to follow -- This is my biggest gripe. I almost have to see the movie a second time (when it is released on DVD) to understand exactly what I was watching. The plot isn't mystical or thought-provoking by any means, but half the time I asked myself, "What the hell is going on here?" or "Why did that just happen?"
D) What the film lacks is made up for in entertainment -- Despite the negatives of this film, it was still pretty entertaining. I would recommend any Wes Craven fan to go watch this film (NOT IN 3D) and enjoy it for what it is.

Gory, Disgusting, Offensive...But all in Fun
So I just got done seeing this movie and the first thing I have to say is "Wow!" That wow is good and bad; firstly, parents should really make note of what people are saying here, this is definitely NOT for KIDS!! I would even go so far as to say that it is not for adults with a weak stomach. The amount of gore, nudity, and disgusting content in this movie shouldn't have warranted an R-rating in my opinion; it was quite possibly the grossest movie I have ever seen; and I have seen some pretty disturbing movies.
On top of that, the acting was fairly sub-par, but, what can you expect from a movie filled with d-list cast members? While some scenes were very convincing, other scenes were so fake and unrealistic that this film could even be considered a dark comedy. This goes for some of the scary sequences too, because they looked so forced in order to make the viewer jump, it was very unconvincing.
The second "Wow!", I say because while this movie is disturbing it is all in fun. The movie is gross, yes, it is terribly acted, yes, and some people would say that this film is not a film that shouldn't have ever been made by mankind. But, for those attracted to gore and extremely gruesome creature horror/comedies. This is right up your alley.

I really didn't find it all this interesting
I watched it and I really didn't find it all that interesting. And I was also confused why it was rated R, I mean SPOILER ALERT!!! Even with the naked women in the beginning and the mild violence here and there, it wasn't really worth the R rating.
I found it to be more of a Sci-Fi/Watch it Until The End cause you might miss something good.
I was really disappointed, I liked the some of the Sci-Fi Elements, however, I would still say it was only OK, but the first one was way better at telling the story.
I would say that this as well was a more political sci-fi, because it was more about the war going on between the Chinese and the Russians/Americans, than it really was about the Monolith.
If they would have featured maybe some more Sci-Fi action, it would have been good, but it definitely is a renter.
