Maya Larkin (Winona Ryder), a survivor of a childhood exorcism, become convinced, along with her associates Deacon Townsend (Elias Koteas) and Father Lareaux (John Hurt, who is too good for the likes of this stuff), that non-religious true crime author Peter Kelson (Ben Chaplin, doing a good American accent) will become the embodiment of Satan's evil on the exact moment of his 33rd birthday.
Inconsistent religious horror thriller is on the one hand a competently made movie with a competent cast (including Alfre Woodard, uncredited as "Dr. Allen"). On the other hand, it's not exciting or emotionally involving at all, and there's no sense of urgency or genuine impending doom. It may be likely to provoke a "So what?" reaction from the viewer. Worst of all, all of this leads to a flat, unemotional, and anticlimactic ending - hardly what I would call a great payoff.
This is, generally speaking, an unmemorable movie that can't favorably compare to real classics of the genre, like "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Omen". "Bless the Child", released the same year as this, is not a particularly good film, but at least it offers more entertainment than "Lost Souls". Some of the actors are sadly under-utilized.
