415. The Soultangler (1987)

November 14, 2014

Here it is, the second release from Bleeding Skull and Mondo on VHS, 'The Soultangler'! Once again, before you go any further, go read the Bleeding Skull review here, then go buy the movie here, then come back... A mad scientist, Dr. Anton Lupesky, has painstakingly created a serum with the ability to transfer the soul out of a living person through the eyes and into any nearby dead body (provided it still has eyes). He has two servants, an obsequious woman and a bumbling, drug-addicted, strong man. Since he requires a bunch of bodies for his work (and he prefers young women) his servants go out nightly to procure nubile young ladies for him. Meanwhile, a young reporter who smokes a lot decides to look into the case of all the missing girls and almost gets herself killed in the process. I think 'Cards of Death' was a better movie, but I still enjoyed 'The Soultangler' and I would recommend it to fans of this kind of thing. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry about it.
