Details

Long protected by dark shadows and hidden by secrets, a tattered book of unspeakable power that was written by the ancient druids has survived on the Earth for centuries. But when a group of young orphans stumble upon the book and unleash its vengeful power through a bloody and selfish act, they could endanger the unsuspecting teens enjoying a weekend camping trip in the woods -- or jeopardize their own lives.

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
LadytheWinter666 Now mind you, I love horror movies. The adrenaline rush from being scared is a high for me, but I also love horrible horror movies, and this one, had me laughing the entire night. When I read the back I knew it had to either be very good, or very bad and the fact that the actors were trying to be serious the entire time, had reminded me quite a bit, of the first Evil Dead. Once I began to watch it, I thought, the idea of the movie and the plot really was an alright idea, but the director just didn't have enough sense to know it wasn't going to work. Though this movie isn't scary at all, at least your entertained one way or another.
eliza_christian The title "DESPERATE SOULS",is what drew me to watch this movie.I had some difficulty following the story line but the movie flowed well and kept my interest going right till the end.Guess that could be a bonus.If you understand the plot too well it could make for a boring movie. This movie is anything but boring. With the dry humor to the fight scenes, it was GOOD! I thought the filming, the direction, the angle shots were way above average for a film with a low budget. These guys knew what they were doing and did achieve it. If this movie had top name actors it could have made it to the big screen. Very professional and high end quality. I scored this movie on the high end because the overall product is better than some movies i've scene in this genre....and yes, 100% better than the Blair Witch in my opinion.I liked it!
stillshot Hey all, thanks for checking out our flick. We started filming it when we were 19. I think the "story" of the filming process of the movie should be brought to attention. We never worked a camera or never took a film class. It does show throughout the film, but remember to take this film lightly, it is what it is. It's a "no budget" not a "low budget" cheesy horror flick. We wanted to make something that you could sit down, grab some beers and drink with your friends while making fun of it. If you have watched this movie seriously, you got some issues. It was made to be cheesy and bad, for pure entertainment purposes. Next month I will post a list of funny things that happen in it. For example, cameras being in the shot and snow, (yes, snow). Cheers!
majikmarkerz If you bought/rented this movie, then I have some swamp land to sell you. This movie was a horrible mix of every terrible B-movie made in the last 10 years and the Blair Witch Project.After watching a trailer, I decided that this movie might be funny horror in the tradition of Evil Dead or Army of Darkness.... how wrong I was.This movie has SERIOUS holes in the plots. After the first 10 minutes, this movie becomes very difficult to continue watching because of the serious plot flaws. The Anti-hero is basically a bum that lives in a tin shack, yet has a fur coat (wtf!). It makes no sense what-so- ever. Then the Anti-hero meets the other hero character (they don't know each other) Then the next scene they are running around like childhood friends. That is just the beginning of the long trail of inconstancies that will make you want to scratch your eyes out.I would recommend this movie for film Teachers to use as a tool to show what you don't want to do in a movie.Desperate Souls is a great example of these sub-par home-made horror movies that the studios buy for dirt cheap, then they like to roll them out around Halloween. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH THIS MOVIE! ! ! ! !I predict the only people watching this movie are the folks that starred in it.If IMDb would let me rate it a (-) negative number I would.
