Overview: A mad scientist named Anton Lupesky invents a drug that can free the soul of the user and allow them to posses the bodies of corpses. The horrible side effect is sometimes fatal hallucinations that leave the survivors incurably mad.

DVD Verdict: Anton Lupesky is a scientist who of course turns out to be mad. He creates a drug that will allow the users spirit to leave their body and posses corpses but of course there's a major side effect.

In full disclosure, 'Soultangler' is actually a film that I had never heard of before it came out onto DVD. I must admit that I had never heard a thing about it and after watching it I'm even more confused because there's really not too much here!<> I mean, was the company releasing this trying to pass it off as a cult movie? Perhaps as a movie that's so bad it's good? I'm really not sure what they were trying to do but it seems the filmmakers were going for something like 'Re-Animator', but they didn't have a budget.

For me the worst thing about this picture is that it just couldn't keep me entertained or glued into what was going on. Every once in a while we'd get some bloody deaths, but there's not nearly enough to keep you entertained.

As you'd expect, the performances are pretty bad, but this here can be forgiven. The film also features some pretty weak special effects but I will say that I enjoyed them for what they were. At least they tried to give us some practical effects with gore.

I guess there might be some people who get some laughs out of the picture but it just didn't work for me, sorry. That said, if you don't go in expecting constant action or thrills and accept that this is a micro-budget film determined to tell a surreal, dream-like story of science gone horribly wrong, you will most likely actually enjoy it!
