Soul Lover

About This Movie

'Soul Lover' is a quirky little comedy from 1970 that dives into the afterlife in a rather unusual way. The story follows a man who becomes a ghost and, armed with his spectral charm, sets out to woo women. The tone is light-hearted, but there’s a bit of a surreal edge to it that gives it a distinctive flavor. The pacing has that classic 70s vibe, with some drawn-out moments that enhance its whimsical nature. Practical effects are minimal but add a certain charm, especially in how they portray ghostly interactions. While the performances are a mixed bag, there’s an earnestness that makes it hard not to appreciate the effort put into this unusual premise.

'Soul Lover' has had a bit of a rocky journey in terms of availability, with few releases over the years, making original prints somewhat sought after. There’s a niche audience that appreciates its oddball humor and the way it blends supernatural elements with romantic antics. Collectors often discuss its underground status and the charm of its low-budget production, which adds to its overall appeal for those into unique and lesser-known comedies from the era.
