“There’s never been any romance between the doctor and I!”

This shit is all over the map man, and that’s a good thing. SoulTangler sets out to be a love letter to Re-Animator and cigarette smoking, and I dare say it accomplishes this task phenomenally.

In short, we have a mad scientist whose able to jump bodies, and conversely experience peoples souls thru some concoction he’s created.

All I know is that he has a green like IV looking bag next to his gurney, and we also see zombies, so yeah this is really Re-Animator Meets Quantum Leap. The doctor (Lupesky) can leap in to any dead body so long as it has intact eyeballs.

It’s fucking silly and stupid but the acting here combined with the overall goofiness makes this a treat to watch.

“Yes! I want it in me!”

Honestly though this movie looked like it was going to go in a similar direction as the original Slumber Party Massacre.

Not the titties, but with the kills/kidnappings. Lupesky’s underling Carl gives Russ Thorn a run for his fucking money. I mean look at this fast acting shit.

This guy is coldcocking motherfuckers left and right, it’s epic although short lived.

“You ignoramuses cannot even begin to comprehend my power!”

Needless to say, things aren't all roses and soul jumping for the good doctor as he has to contend with a local reporter whose father was a patient/victim of Lupesky previously; and some pussy police clerk.

Doesn’t end well for this cool cat, but you need to watch to see for yourselves.

The moment that won our hearts.

The music here is some crazy shit. One minute it sounds like you’re listening to the Silent Hill soundtrack on a Super Nintendo, the next you got tunes blasting like it’s from a Genesis/SegaCD.

These fuckers even got their own theme song “SoulTangler” performed by HYPNOLOVEWHEEL. We couldn’t find a copy on youtube but we did find the next best thing: A Gore Band’s tribute!

FINAL WORD –

MRHELLBOX – Doc Lupesky sure was a suave motherfucker. All the cool kids in these movies are. Gonna do some digging to see if they did a sequel, or at least another movie made by these folks. I dig their indie style. - 3/5

DRUNKEN MASTER – That one bitch assisting the doc looks like a used up Robert Palmer back up girl.

I’d still lay the pipe to her. – 3/5

PRINCE PECTORALS – Ol’ doc was jacked, and I know from listening to the soundtrack that he spent some time wrestling Polar Bears in Luxemburg when he was away. This cat was double tough, now he’s in a bitch body, sad. Kill yourself Doc, have some fucking dignity – 3/5
