6 Souls

The film belongs to a long tradition of horror films that offensively suggest that all atheists might as well hang a Welcome sign up for the devil.

An appealing cast and well-executed mood of foreboding would seem to hold some promise commercially, but the script grows silly in the third act, letting the picture down.

Ultimately, the silly material overwhelms the style, particularly in a final act involving magical hillbillies living in them thar hills — during which the movie attempts to make a serious point about the importance of faith in the midst of a lot of bad teeth, worse wigs and cheap jolts. Right.

A schlock supernatural shocker.

The filmmakers’ aversion to coherent narrative and genuinely suspenseful visuals (not to mention a penchant for having Ms. Moore receive terrible news via cellphone) keep the movie’s mystery stew from hitting the spot.

Blame who you must, but whatever went wrong with 6 Souls, God had nothing to do with it.

6 Souls is regrettably sick with that familiar disease afflicting movies of this ilk: ostentatious, hollow moodiness that spreads like an unwelcome rash.

Why can't critics get on board with a good ol' horror flick? This movie is a good time. The acting is great. The use of psychiatric diagnosis is an interesting device. One critic didn't like that atheism gets a bad rap in a horror film. That's hilarious. If you start watching it, you'll watch it to the end. Very entertaining.

Great psychiatric themed original idea with a bunch of twists and suspense moments ... that turned into a fairly average horror flick towards the end. Nonetheless Meyers and Moore make this movie enjoyable and the production level is very high. The first two-thirds of the movie are 90, and the ending is like 50 or so.

I was very disappointed by this film because it was started with an idea very original but the two directors have failed to use well, and for this the film has collapsed like a house of cards. One thing positive of the film were the actors that they dealt with the great and the moments of suspense.
