In a small town in the middle of nowhere, two cops are brought in to investigate separate cases. One is looking into the brutal murder of a couple. The other is looking for some missing children. What they initially think is a joke, that the cases are tied to the local boogeyman named the Soul Eater, slowly becomes a reality.
Police procedural mixes with supernatural tale in an off beat thriller that works best if you just go with it. I say that because even though the film largely plays it straight, the overlap with the boogey man elements isn't always as neat as they should be. There's a little too much reality here.
On the other hand once I stopped over thinking things and went with it I had a blast. Say what you will this is a creepy thriller, set in a town where you believe the Soul Eater or some monster lurks. It's a place that seems to be lost from the world.
I had a grand time going to a place where things really do go bump in the night.
