Blu-ray Review – Mind, Body & Soul

1992's "Mind, Body & Soul" isn't deeply considered work from writer/director Rick Sloane, though he's not a filmmaker all that interested in creating refined entertainment. He's a B-movie slinger, responsible for two "Hobgoblins" features and six installments of the "Vice Academy" series. It's during the production of "Vice Academy: Part 3" where Sloane hatched a plan to make a second picture during the shooting of the first, quickly hammering out a script for "Mind, Body & Soul," which definitely plays like a production that was pieced together in a hurry. A fuzzy take on Satanic cults and witness intimidation, the endeavor is perhaps unsurprisingly sloppy, providing more of a random journey of screen events, while performances are stuck with Sloane's undercooked screenwriting and static staging. It's a low-budget journey into the black heart of crime and sacrifice, but the helmer pays no attention to pace or genre impact. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
