Lost Souls (2000)

To wrap up my themed week dedicated to big Hollywood names that appeared in a horror film, I've chosen "Lost Souls" because it stars Winona Ryder and was produced by Meg Ryan. MEG RYAN of all people?!?!?! These are two names that you would not think would be associated with a demonic/satanic movie. Including John Hurt and Elias Koteas to the cast helps to give it some genre credibility. The overall story of "Lost Souls" is pretty simple and feels like a watered down, realistic version of "End of Days". The lighting is inconsistent and at times annoying and film quality made it feel like the movie was produced years before it's time. The good thing about the film is that the clues to the mystery of the film are revealed in a moderate pace and nicely build upon each other.


Peter Kelson has been raised and tailored to become the human host of Satan himself. Peter is unaware of this and only finds out when Maya, a member of a small Roman Catholic group that knows about this secret, tries to warn him of his fate. She begs him to find the clues for himself, and when he begins to find such clues, he realizes that everyone around him and his entire life has been a lie....
