Summary: The person who wrote the plot, in my opinion, should be shot!
Review: This was the worst movie I have ever seen. There is nothing good about this movie. I would have rather had a root canal. Do yourself a favor, and do not see this movie. If you read this, and then go see the movie, you are a moron. Anyone who says this movie is good has obviously never seen a movie....ever! BAD MOVIE! HORRIBLE MOVIE!

Summary: LOST SOULS IS TERRIFYING AND WILL LEAVE YOU SHAKING!
Review: LOST SOULS IS SO TERRIFYING THAT AFTER I SAW IT, I COULDN'T STOP SHAKING MY HANDS AROUND! THE IMAGES IN THIS MOVIE ARE SO WEIRDLY PRETTY IT'S SCARY! THE MOVIE IS ABOUT MAYA LARKIN, WINONA RYDER, WHO BELONGS TO A GROUP OF EXORCISTS WHO MUST WARN A MAN NAMED PETER KELSON, BEN CHAPLIN, THAT HE IS THE TARGET OF A SUPERNATURAL CONSPIRACY. THE ACTING IN THIS MOVIE IS PHENOMENAL AND THE PLOT IS SURPRISINGLY GOOD. SOME OF THE SCENES IN THIS FILM ARE SO SCARY AND INTENSE THAT I SUGJEST THAT YOU BRING A BLANKET AND A PILLOW IN CASE YOU FEEL LIKE PASSING OUT! I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE AGAIN BECAUSE IT REALLY GIVES YOU A GREAT RIDE OF INTENSE, SCARY AND CREEPY STUFF! THIS FILM IS IN COMPETITION WITH THE EXORCIST BUT IN SOME WAYS IS MORE FRESH AND NEW THEN THE EXORCIST: THE VERSION YOU NEVER SEEN. LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE GIVING THIS FILM BAD REVIEWS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT! THIS FILM IS GREAT! IT HAS EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN A GOOD SCARY THRILLER! WINONA RYDER DOES A ASPECIALLY GOOD JOB PLAYING HER PART AS MAYA LARKIN. SHE REALLY CONVINCES YOU THAT SHE IS THAT PERSON AND CHARACTER. THE SPECIAL EFFECTS IN THIS FILM ARE SO SCARY AND UNIQUE. SO OVER LOOKING THIS GREAT AND SCARY FILM, IT REALLY MAKES YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT RELIGION IS YOUR RELIGION. SO I GIVE THIS MOVIE 5 STARS. THAT'S RIGHT. FIVE STARS! THIS MOVIE IS GREAT! GO SEE IT RIGHT NOW!

Summary: sa majeste
Review: this hit is a typical african beat which would easily appeal to any african.the animator does his thing so proffessionally while madilu himself with his booming voice speaks in the background. the guitars are well done and it is generally a wonderful piece of adaptation from african folk/traditional music and modernising it to keep with times. i keep on repeating it from time to time,that i do not know how the second song sounds like.

Summary: NO [P] SOUP FOR YOU!!!!
Review: A BRILLIANT vision from the mind of director KAMINSKI of the 'other side' taking over ..... after all as it is said in this movie "If You Believe in GOD .... you have to believe in the devil {capable of manifesting physicality}".It's an odd sedate little journey starting with a botched exorcism .... and along the lines of a film-noir the clues to more and more horror are slowly peeled away until the 'innocent' is convinced by the ordinary that he is the chosen one ...... RYDER, CHAPLIN, KOTEAS, HURT spearhead this dark journey - beautifully lensed [almost black and white color]; sound direction is excellent as is the powerful score. FOR something different about old nic, try this one on for size, but be cautioned, there's no pea-soup or spinning heads, just the dread and awakening .....of all sorts of possibilities ..........

Summary: Rosemary¿s Baby Meets the Exorcist
Review: Starring my favorite shoplifter, Winona Ryder, Lost Souls is about the Devil, those who worship him, and those who seek to stop him. A man has been marked to be taken over by the Devil come to earth. Soon. A group of priests and Ryder work to stop Lucifer. Ryder's character had previously been inhabited by demons, and ever since, she sees things. Despite some sometimes dark makeup, Ryder has never looked lovelier. Although made on a shoestring in Canada, this movie does not have a cheap or amateurish look. The director, Janusz Kaminski, is Steven Spielberg's favorite cinematographer (Schindler's List, Saving Pvt. Ryan). This is Kaminski's only movie so far as a director, and his ability to create a terrifying atmosphere without reliance on special effects, may remind you of M. Night Shyamalan. Although Ryder is the only big name in the cast, some wonderful faces are on display, most notably John Hurt and Philip Baker Hall, as two very different kinds of priests, and Alfre Woodard in a memorable but brief, uncredited turn, as a psychiatrist.

Summary: DEVIL MAKES YOU DO IT
Review: It's kind of frightening when you think about the number of ways movies have dealt with the coming of the Antichrist. Aside from the more popular OMEN series, there have been countless movies that have quoted different parts from the Bible and warn us about the coming of the Devil on earth.
In LOST SOULS, a quote from Deuteronomy says when a child is born out of incest, Satan will come to earth. This marked person turns out to be crime novelist Ben Chaplin, who has written novels about serial killers. Winona Ryder plays a young woman who was once possessed and exorcised by John Hurt. Now she is committed to alerting Chaplin to his fate. That's pretty much the plot...the incestuous parties are fairly predictable early in the movie, and to Chaplin's credit, we hope there's some way out for him.
Janusz Wacinski (sp) the brilliant cinematographer behind some of our greatest films, debuts with a stunning look to his film. As many reviewers have noted, it is sumptous, gorgeous and very moody. Chaplin and Ryder are quite good in the pivotal roles with some fine support from Philip Baker Hall, an uncredited Alfre Woodard, John Diehl, Elias Koteas and Sarah Wynter.
I don't know if we needed another movie like this, but this one is stylish, if somewhat tepid in its conclusion.

Summary: Nicely shot, good music, but dull, disappointing script
Review: As a fan of occult films, I have had to wade through my fair share of garbage. I guess that's why I had my hopes up for something really good after watching the first half hour of this movie. The film's cinematography sets a beautifully dark mood, and its music effectively further augments it. Things were looking up. This film actually had some quality to it. Although I usually find Winona Ryder kind of irritating, I thought I could stand her in this if the movie turned out to be as good as it was looking. But unfortunately although the script very effectively builds up expectations, in the last half of the movie it never delivers on these expectations and instead becomes very predictable and lame. After the totally anticlimactic ending, I found myself asking "WHAT??? Is that all there is to this movie?" -- What a disappointment! I felt as if I had been cruelly tricked into wasting 2 hours of my life. (--Is that Satan's laughter I hear? ;) ) So yes, this film does have very high production values which do make it look great, but unfortunately the story just does not have the punch to match. Better luck next time!
