My Soul to Take

My Soul To Take (Originally titled "25/8") tells the story of Abel Plenkov, a serial killer dubbed 'The Riverton Ripper.' After killing his wife and trying to hunt down his children, Abel was shot by police officers. While being driven to the hospital, he regains consciousness and crashes the Ambulance, vowing to return and murder the 7 children born on the night he was killed. The 'Riverton 7' Are Adam (Bug), who is the mentally unstable son of Abel Plenkov, Alex, Bug's best friend who lives with an abusive Stepfather, Brandon, the school bully and jock, Brittany, a girl chased after by Bug and Brandon, Jerome, a blind student, Penelope, a jesus freak who has strange premonitions of the murders, and Jay, a student that crosses the bridge out of town. At school, there is a social hierarchy which is led by 'Fang', Bug's sister. Brandon acts as the muscle and terrorizes the students, and Fang controls areas of the school and punishes anyone that defies her. As the movie follows Bug, we see his friendship with Alex, and how Alex is trying to teach him to be a man, repeating that he should 'Fake being tough, Fake it good.' We learn of his obsession with death, (Namely the Californian Condor, which he makes a costume of) his migraines and his lapses into different characters, some of which are the Riverton 7, some of which are more scared or confident versions of himself, revealing that he suffers from schizophrenia. At one point he sees a terrified Jay, drowning in the bathroom mirror, and in an eavesdropped conversation, Bug finds out he has been in institutions and Fang says he has killed before. On the 16th Anniversary of the ripper's death, Jay is killed brutally by a man dressed in a costume, which was used by the kids to scare the populace. The man ambushes him on the bridge, kills him and throws him into the river. Later on, Penelope is also murdered after praying with one of her teen friends about her baby, which belongs to Brandon. When Jay's body is found, the policemen who apprehended the original Riverton Ripper fear the worst, and as school ends, Brandon approaches Brittany. He tries to charm her into having sex with him, and she eventually runs into the woods, as he chases. Soon she comes across the burnt out ambulance where the Ripper died, and finds Penelope's body. Brandon finds it as well and Brittany accuses him of murdering Penelope, and calls the police. Soon he runs into the woods to escape the police, and Brittany runs to escape him. He calls Brittany and breaks down, only to hear the Ripper's voice on the other end, and he is soon killed...
