The Soul Collector

A premissa de ser um conto africano não supera a morosidade da edição e um roteiro bem superficial. Temos ótimas atuações de Sarah, Mary e Lazarus. O filme termina com uma sensação de qual o sentido disso tudo?

"Somewhere in South Africa, 1977." Lazarus is a man who carries a heavy burden: he is condemned to collect souls to feed his undead daughter. He meets a family who recently moved to the farmhouse where he worked before, dooming the destiny or their adopted daughter. "The Soul Collector" is deeply poignant and it evokes the local mysticism and folklore of African culture.

Knowing when to be subtle and when to go all out, The Soul Collector is a refreshingly moody, tension-filled film, one that stands out and confidently offers viewers something they haven't seen since Richard Stanley's Dust Devil.

This movie was an interesting take on how strong a parents love can be. It was heartbreaking at moments and had me tearing up towards the end. All of that was taken with the ‘twist' ending. It wasn't good. Predictable even. The movie was excellent until the last 5 minutes. Then I felt like I had just wasted almost two hours of my time. I wouldn't watch it again. I certainly won't recommend it to anyone either.

It was an okay horror movie, I was expecting a little more on the horror side but it was spooky enough and mysterious to begin with. Also had a good plot unlike many of its genre.

The acting is great . The plot is original . The recipe is a succes !

Soul Collector is one of the most unique films I’ve seen in a while a very fresh take on demon possession in a seldom if never seen setting and culture, the story line gets a little muddled and the end is a bit of a head scratcher but in a way that leaves you thinking but not pissed off over all a worthwhile watch.

South Africa is an interesting and relatively unexplored area of the world for horror films. The Soul Collector does a lot well, though the lack of subtitles during non-english parts was a bit of a roadblock.

this was pretty good; the creature thing peeking out the bag was creepy & i did enjoy the story. there was just a LOT of story. it's pretty slow/not much happens, but the beggining & end were good. it wasn't until i started reading other people's reviews that there's apparently a twist at the end... not sure i'd call that a twist. if so, it's a pretty predictable one (which kind of negates it).

Overall, as a directional debut, I am genuinely impressed by this film. It's quite mysterious, and I enjoyed how dark this film was. Performances are pleasing, particularly from actor Tshamano Sebe who plays The Soul Collector named Lazarus. Visually, this film is also pleasing and carries an impressive audio track. The movie exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to the director's next film, which I'll gladly support in advance. The Soul Collector is easy to recommend for those seeking a new style of horror film. - Walkden Entertainment
