My Soul To Take

Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven teens, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? Only one of the kids knows the answer. Adam "Bug" Heller (Max Thieriot) was supposed to die on the last night the Riverton Ripper wrecked havoc on that terrifying night. Unaware of terrifying crimes being committed to the seven children, he has been plagued by nightmares of their murders while not aware if they hold true or if he is simply imagining the images that haunt him. But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that's returned, he must face an evil that won't rest...until it finishes the job it began the day he was born.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord
my soul to keep.
If I should die
before I wake,
I pray the Lord
my soul to take.
Before tonight's murder,
there has been no clue
as to who
this killer might be.
But now the Riverton Ripper
and the knife he uses
have been caught by a
high-definition security camera.
- Any day, now.
- Police say
that the killer is a Caucasian
male in his mid-to-late 30s.
It's too dark to see his face
but the quality of the image
has allowed forensic technicians
to zoom in and
enhance it enough
to make out
the word "Vengeance"
etched on the blade
of the Ripper's weapon.
No one was in the
area at the time...
That's beautiful, Abel.
And Leah's going
to love that house.
Shameless distraction device.
Come to bed.
The news is too scary
for me to watch alone.
Okay, Sarah,
I'll be up soon.
We consulted local
psychiatrist Dr. William Blake.
Oh, shit!
Here's what he had to say.
The identity of a killer of this sort
may well not even
be known to himself.
He could be
anywhere and anyone
leading a normal life,
so far as he knows,
and never dream
for an instant that,
every so often,
he turns into a monster.
What is this?
Twenty-one-year-old
Penny Anderson,
a graduate student
at Boston University...
Somebody!
...studying for a Ph. D. in psychology.
Help me!
No!
The victim's funeral will
be held tomorrow at...
Dear God, tell me
this is a dream.
ABEL -
What's with the knife, Abel?
What's with the blood?
It's really crazy stuff.
It's not my knife, James!
I don't know what's with it.
I think someone
has broken in.
No one has broken in.
Come on, Penny.
Please, Abel.
Blake said it could happen.
A one in a million
chance, he said.
What if it did?
He said to call him, 24/7.
Abel, listen. Call him now.
You've got to call Dr. Blake.
Please put down the knife.
Call the doctor.
God will help you.
Call Dr. Blake,
and I kill your family.
Sorry, sorry,
I just need a hug.
That knife is so scary,
you know?
What knife?
The Ripper's.
They've got it on tape.
Don't do something stupid, Abel.
Here's the deal.
Just look the other way when I
kill and your family stays alive.
Turn me in, and you'll live
alone in a house of blood.
Hello?
Abel, this is Dr. Blake.
Is everything okay?
No, no, no. Everything is
not okay. I found something.
What did you find?
A knife.
Under my bench.
And not just any knife.
The one on TV.
The Ripper's knife.
I swear before God,
Dr. Blake, I didn't know.
But the second that I went to
call you there was somebody,
and he said
don't call you, or else...
Or else?
What?
Or else he would
kill Sarah. And Leah.
And the others, too.
Abel, I'll be there in 10
minutes. I want you to tell Sarah
to take Leah,
and drive to her sister's.
I haven't told her
about this part of my life.
But you swore
to me you would.
That's part
of the agreement.
Just get here
before it's too late!
Abel, have Sarah drive
to May's house, with Leah.
May is working nights
and Sarah is sound asleep.
I can't just wake her up.
You have to!
Abel?
You there?
Abel?
No! No!
What the hell are you looking at?
Break the door down.
I won't let you do this! I won't!
Open the door. Abel!
I won't...
Abel!
Police, open up!
Mr. Plenkov, open up.
Abel, open the door!
Plenkov! Open up!
Kick it in, Bobby.
Get up those stairs now!
Which room?
On the right?
Mr. Plenkov! Mr. Plenkov!
Freeze!
Shit!
Bobby, check him!
Check him!
Hey, sweetie.
Hey, sweetie, come here.
Come here.
What's your name?
No pulse, Frank.
What's your name, huh?
