Trivia:
The film was initially supposed to be released in October 1999. Its trailer was in theaters in Summer 1999. However, due to a flood of "End of the World" movies coming out at the exact same time (End of Days (1999), Stigmata (1999), etc...), the decision was made to delay the film. Its new date was 4 February 2000. However, that date was canceled after the very popular "Scream" franchise staked out that date for its final installment, Scream 3 (2000). The final release date of 13 October 2000, was finally decided upon, which also happened to be the same exact day as the re-release of The Exorcist (1973). moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Maya and Peter meet for the first time, the word processor screen on his laptop repeatedly changes. The screen alternates between a whole-page layout and split-page depending on the shot. moreSoundtrack:

Winona Ryder starts off a bit shakily but her well-timed screams increase in conviction as we get into the swing of this god-devil-and-exorcisms movie. It's helped by the use of photography with drained colour that creates a gothic feel even in ordinary surroundings. Ryder's character is herself psychotic, having recovered from a mental illness / possession episode. Now a helper-associate for the Roman Catholic Church (a branch specializing in devil-ditching) she deciphers the ravings of a possessed inmate, and works out a code that names the person who will become the devil incarnate. Cleverly balancing psychology with the extremes of Romanist belief in the devil, Lost Souls is closer in tone to Polanski's Ninth Gate than, say, the Exorcist or the rather lame Bless the Child. It's not the scariest or classiest movie made in the genre, but it holds its own rather better than I expected.
