Dr. Cara Harding (Julianne Moore) is a dedicated psychiatrist skeptical about the nature of certain afflictions, especially Multiple Personality Disorder. Her skepticism starts to give way when her father, Dr. Harding (Jeffrey DeMunn), introduces her to a patient named Adam (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) who consistently assumes the personalities of murder victims. Cara's work with Adam puts her and her daughter Sammy (Brooklynn Proulx) at risk of becoming victims themselves.

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.

The Hollywood Reporter

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.

Rated: 2/5

New York Post

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

Rated: 1/4

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"?

Rated: 2/4

A patchwork, conventional, and oft-told story that's a whole lot sillier than was probably intended.

This movie is terrible. The character decisions make no sense. Its a good concept killed by stupid characters. The trailer looked good but it ended up being so disappointing that we regret watching it at all.

One of the best photographed movies ever! The people who wonder why Julianne Moore took this role prove why she is a major star and they just type words. 4% approval rate among the professionals. I wish I had the same level of failure.

We really enjoyed this movie!!!!! The jump scares were timed perfectly to surprise us - when we were not ready. It’s was super creepy and kept us questioning the plot often. In a good way! My teens and I voted it one of our fav scary movies we’ve seen in a long time. Surprised by the low rating.

Shelter ist ein übernatürlicher Horror-Thriller von Måns Mårlindund Björn Stein. … Eine forensische Psychiaterin entdeckt, dass alle bis auf eine der zahlreichen Persönlichkeiten ihres Patienten Mordopfer sind. … Der Film greift das Thema "dissoziative Persönlichkeitsstörung" auf und erzählt es in einer fiktiven Geschichte. Ein interessantes Konzept mit perfekt ausgearbeiteten Charakteren, das jedoch etwas langwierig und am Ende enttäuschend wirkt.
