Wes Craven’s first directing stint since 1994’s Wes Craven’s New Nightmare finally has a release date, and its no surprise. According to Shock Till You Drop, Take My Soul, previously titled 25/8 (when you fight the devil, '24/7’ is not enough, get it? Simples) is released 29 October 2O1O. Overshadowed, or simply forgotten with the recent talk of the 'Scream 4: Friends Re-united' it has fell off the radar. After all, it did start production in 2008, and nowadays with the constant bombardment of T.V, attention spans are at an all time...squirrel.
The film revolves around a serial killer who was presumed dead for sixteen years. However on this anniversary of his alleged death he returns to murder children whose birth date falls upon this particular day.
Is it Ground-hog day? Or have I heard this one before. Well it certainly seems rather familiar; and suggests that the project did not exert the creator of Hallowe’en. But hell, its taken 16 years to get him back we will forgive and forget if he produces anything near the aforementioned title.
On a rather bizarre note, Craven talking about the film back in march said his new creation ‘lives under bridges and deep in the woods and eats bark’. Random. Was he pulling our leg here, in order for us to 'bark' up the wrong tree? We will find out in October.
The film has no stand out stars, with Max Thierot, John Magaro, Paulina Olszynski, Nick Lashaway and Emily Meade.
