Critics Consensus

The most mind-bending aspect of 6 Souls is Julianne Moore's participation, the overqualified star wasted on a goofy horror premise that generates more guffaws than scares.

Terri Lynn

It was a decent movie. Definitely, held my attention. It was a little confusing. The plot made sense and fell into place. For me,.the ending kind of ruined it. I didn't expect the twists so it kept me on the edge of my seat in suspense. The little sister couldn't redeem herself. She was rude to her brother the entire time. So, the ending when she played a needy, lovable little sister,.it frustrated me. The situation with the parents blew my mind as I didn't expect nothing that had taken place. I thought the main actor lost his mind but movies as this keeps you thinking you're losing your mind.

Aunque no se trata de una película de terror como tal, por más que tiene el elemento de horror sobrenatural, Shelter es un thriller muy fascinante de ver. Su trama es una historia de intriga y misterio que involucra el choque entre la ciencia y la fe cuando nuestra querida Julianne Moore recurre a la psicología para tratar de descifrar el enigma de su misterioso paciente que parece sufrir de un desorden de personalidad, pero va mucho más allá de eso. La cuestión sobre la fe y la ciencia se vuelve un punto muy vital para la trama. Lo que plantea es que existen cosas que por más que se trate de encontrar una explicación lógica a lo inexplicable, claramente hay algo mucho más allá que el ser humano es incapaz de comprender y parece que solo la fe es la respuesta. La película se torna incluso más desalmada cuando muchas de las víctimas son personas que han abandonado su fe. Llega incluso a ser chocante cuando toma la religión cristiana y la brujería colocándolas en un plano similar por muy opuestas que sean. Aun así, ambas comparten la aceptación por la existencia de algo más allá de nuestra comprensión. Las religiones y creencias comparten esa misma hipótesis y lo que las diferencia bastante son la diferente percepción que cada una tiene sobre una única verdad. Se puede concluir que al final Shelter es un buen thriller intrigante que ha sido tratado injustamente, aunque la película genera una pregunta que no es del todo respondida. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 8/10.

This movie was absolutely amazing. It is one of those mind f**k movies that has you kicking your feet and wiggling your toes, talking to the T.V. hahaha. The actors did a great job. It is a very interesting story!

A mockery to faith-based healers that was woefully unnecessary. The zeitgeist of NYC at the time of this movie was faith healing because our U.S. healthcare system was already at a new low of failing its citizens.

The only reason that I can imagine that this was rated so lowly by people that rated Shutter Island so high is because of the following!!! - They were unable to comprehend the movie - they did not understand the movie - they didn't feel like they had to pretended that it was a great movie - they were too embarrassed to admit that they didn't get the plot earlier. The reason they rated Shutter Island highly!!! - They fancied Leonardo - Their friends told them it was great - They're unable to formulate their own constructive appreciation or depreciation of the movie - They liked the obvious nature of the movie because it was blatantly obvious from the 18th minute what the plot was and they felt good about themselves for figuring it out so early!!!!!

Psychology-themed horror tale goes a little nutty in the end.

New York Times

Beginning as a psychiatric freak show, "6 Souls" eventually trades serial-killer intimations for backwoods bad mojo before becoming just another dimly lighted pop-up-stalker flick.

A preposterous supernatural thriller that inexplicably managed to sign up Julianne Moore to star.

SF Crowsnest

The woefully stagnant Souls-searching being performed in this face-switching frightfest is hopelessly inert and idiotic. As far as split-personality spook flicks are concerned, turn the other cheek regarding this thin slice-and-dice thriller.

Rated: 1.5/4

Even though God is actually mentioned in the closing, special-thanks credits, dude couldn't unfortunately work His/Her magic and prevent this film from being the uneven, preposterously out-of-control wreck that it is. Can the church say "Amen"?
