# My Soul to Take (2010)

2010 · 107 min · Drama, Horror, Mystery · United States


## Synopsis

My Soul to Take is a 2010 American supernatural slasher film produced, written, and directed by Wes Craven, marking the first time he had filled all three roles since Wes Craven's New Nightmare in 1994. The film stars Max Thieriot as Adam "Bug" Hellerman, who is one of seven teenagers chosen to die following the anniversary of a serial killer's death. Denzel Whitaker, Raul Esparza, and Shareeka Epps also star. The film's title comes from a line in the prayer "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep", which reads "If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take": Craven previously used the prayer as a mantra of Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street.
