OK, I liked this film. It is another 'Exorcist' or 'Stigmata'. Except this is the best out of those three. Lost Souls, is a modern horror movie which has all the elements of the classic moments. Many shocking seconds, where the audience will break the back of their seats. A serious and gripping amosphere was build up straight away during the first 15 mins of the film. It is very much a flim to do with exorcism and the Evil. Driving out evil spirits by prayers, sometime it worked, sometime it doesn't, and have the opposite effect. Their goal is the find the Anti-Christ and safe the would! Because of all that, the whole film is full of tension and very very scary moments. Plus a great soundtrack from 'Gomez', perfectly directed and casted. Winona Ryder's performence seems to be good, but really all she has to do is being herself in her usual roles. I am not a big fan of the endings of this sort of films from the pass experience with the 'Exorcist' and 'Stigmata', and 'Lost Souls' is the same. The rest is brillient. Go see it, you won't be disappointed, it is what a horror film should be.
