My Soul to Take

A serial killer known as the Ripper is believed to have murdered seven people on the night of his birth, one for each of the seven deadly sins. Years later, on the anniversary of the murders, a group of high school students are targeted by a vengeful spirit who may be connected to the Ripper. One of these students, Adam "Bug" Massey, finds himself at the center of the supernatural events, as the Ripper's soul seems to be trying to claim him.
