Plot: Maya Larkin (Winona Ryder) is a young woman whose very life was saved by faith. A dark and troubled past left her fragile and susceptible to demonic possession. She survived only after being pulled out of the Devil's grip by Father Lareaux (John Hurt), who subsequently became her mentor. He encouraged her to join with a group of priests who believe that the Devil incarnate will one day soon inhabit the body of a human being and plunge the world into the ultimate darkness. Peter Kelson (Ben Chaplin) is a charming, best-selling New York author who delves into the minds of notoriously brutal criminals, looking for the roots of their violent behavior. He holds the view that evil with a capital "E" does not exist and that Devil possession is a religious fiction. The victim of childhood tragedy in which both his parents were murdered, Peter turned away from Catholicism despite being raised in a devoutly religious setting by his uncle, Father James (Philip Baker Hall).Maya and Peter's fates cross when Maya takes part in the Church-sanctioned exorcism of Henry Birdson, a violent socioopath who murdered his entire family. When the ritual goes terrifyingly wrong, Father Lareaux is left incapacitated and Maya is shaken to her very soul. Afterward, Maya decodes a final warning

Not a bad film, but could have been better. Check this film out if you're tired of the same old slasher film, but be aware that the film is a bit slow-moving. 6/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
The two leads do okay and it's a mostly solid religious horror despite the fact it gets too heavy-handed in the last third and has a way too sloppy finish with a couple of far-fetched twists. Nothing special for the most part.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
With no REAL star power or large critical acclaim, it will no doubt be viewed as middle-of-the-road fare by most cinema-goers who will most likely resign it to a possible rental but it does not deserve such a gloomy fate. Lost Souls is an effective big screen movie, if only for Kaminskis superlative work.  --Ebben (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
