Wes Craven ("A Nightmare on Elm Street," "The Hills Have Eyes," "Scream" series) brings audiences closer to terror in Rogue's 3D "My Soul to Take." In the sleepy town of Riverton, Massachusetts, legend tells of the Riverton Ripper, a serial killer with multiple personalities who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the very night he died. On the sixteenth birthday of the Riverton Seven, an unknown assailant begins to murder them, one by one. "My Soul to Take," Wes Craven's first 3D movie, is a coming-of-age story with edge, humor and pure terror in equal degrees...and a wild and gripping ride from beginning to end. Universal Pictures will release the film nationwide on October 8.
