first of all and since i be one of the people who never saw the mst3k chop up version of this movie and i can not comment on that . however and i do see the original version of this movie on the sci fi channel and i think it be just as good a anything else on that channel . in fact and i think it be one of their good offering . i have notice in peruse the comment here that the people who write in detail about soultaker with a modicum of intelligence and thoughtfulness and maturity tend to like at least a few thing about this movie and rightly so . in it original cut and most reasonable people i think would probably rate it at least 4 or 5 star out of 10. five be average to me and i think this movie be about average for a sci fi pic . in contrast to the above and i have also notice that the reviewer who seem immature and dull and flip and a a result come off a bonehead from where i stand and be the same one who can not find anything good about this movie and basically trash it without cause base mostly on see it chop up and fricassee on mst3k . or if they have see both cut it seem they be greatly prejudice by the mst3k view to begin with .
