Soultaker (film)

 * Nominator(s): GamerPro64  01:42, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Reusing the same intro I used last time, now with some re-wording:

""Does anything really star Joe Estevez?""

- Crow T. Robot, Mystery Science Theater 3000

You like horror movies about the grim reaper chasing young adults after their souls get knocked out of their bodies from a car accident? Well I got an article for you. Presenting Soultaker, a 1990 movie starring Charlie Sheen's uncle and the films screenwriter as the female lead. What would have remained in obscurity if it wasn't selected for mockery on the cult television series Mystery Science Theater 3000, this article presents a passion project based on a real near-death experience the screenwriter, Vivian Schilling, had in her life that became a 250k dollar budgeted picture. And despite the negative reception it got, it still ended up winning a Saturn Award for Best Video Release.

I still believe that this meets the criteria and with enough people reviewing the article it can become a Featured Article. GamerPro64 01:42, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Support from Aoba47
I continue my support from the the previous FAC. Good luck with it this time around. If you have the time, I would greatly appreciate feedback on my current FAC. Either way, have a great rest of your day! Aoba47 (talk) 04:39, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Support from Cas Liber
A cheesy movie that is written about well enough to make me stop thinking about copyediting.....which is a Good Thing. I think we are there on comprehensiveness and prose....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:01, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Support from Toa Nidhiki05
I was going to list two changes to make here, but that would honestly be ridiculous so I made them myself. I struggled to find any issues with prose, the references are all formatted properly and of high quality, and the article is comprehensive in its coverage of the topic. Full support in my book - great work! Toa Nidhiki05 00:49, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Support by Lee Vilenski
I supported this before, and I do believe the article still meets the levels required. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:57, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Coordinator notes
So there hasn't been much activity on this nomination other that re-stating of supports, but I have to acknowledge that made comments in the last round about opportunities for expansion. Since this is a relatively short article, it seems prudent to take such concerns seriously. What, if anything, has been done since the last nomination to address those concerns? -- Laser brain  (talk)  11:44, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping. I stand about where I did towards the end of the last review; "this still feels more GA than FA to me. I think the writing could be a bit smoother and more could be drawn from the various sources". Josh Milburn (talk) 12:22, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Restating supports? Two different people reviewed this article this time. Only Aoba has restated support. GamerPro64  13:46, 2 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I have repeatedly combed through the sources that I used for the article and I do believe that I used enough of their relevant information for use. J Milburn even said in the last nomination that he doesn't intend in standing in the way of possible promotion for the article. With no real opposition, I would assume that Soultaker meets the FA criteria. GamerPro64  21:04, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
