When you think you really know someone from the inside and out, the question really is whether you are sure that you do? What if that one person just allowed you to know the one small part that they decided to show you? In My Soul to Take, by famous director Wes Craven, Abel Plankoff and his seven souls take the lives of seven people, including his wife, with his famous Vengeance knife. And as he takes his last breath, the Riverton Ripper swears to come back to claim the seven children that were born the same night he died.
For the past 16 years since the Riverton Ripper was killed, the teens from Riverton hold a ceremonious “awakening” to bring back the Ripper from his watery grave. The kids believe that if you don’t kill him, seven kids will die on their birthday, the same day as the Rippers’ death day. Each year, the seven take turns to fight off his re-embodiment, and lucky Adam “Bug” Heller gets to fight him off this year. However, when he does not accomplish this task, Bug fully believes people will start dying.
By no big surprise, people start disappearing. It’s no help that Bug cannot remember much of anything, since he was diagnosed with schizophrenia- the same disease that his father, the Riverton Ripper, had. As the entire day passes and five of the seven are already dead, it’s down to Bug and his best friend Alex to determine if it was the Riverton Ripper who has come back to complete his unfinished business, or if the killer is either of the last two standing.
Now do you really think you know someone, or can you just not remember anymore?
