Quartile rating: 6.5/10 · 1 rating
A female forensic psychiatrist discovers that all of one of her patient's multiple personalities are murder victims. She will have to find out what's happening before her time is finished.
6 Souls blends supernatural horror with psychological thriller elements in a moderately engaging way. The premise of multiple personalities tied to murder victims is intriguing and gives the film some narrative momentum. Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys Meyers deliver committed performances that elevate the material above its modest ambitions. The cinematography is competent with some atmospheric forest and rural Pennsylvania settings. The film's concept is somewhat distinctive in merging faith, folk horror, and psychiatric horror, but it doesn't fully capitalize on its ideas. The ending is where the film most stumbles, resolving its supernatural mystery in a manner that feels anticlimactic and unsatisfying, leaving audiences with more frustration than payoff.
