What to Know

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.

John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Psychology-themed horror tale goes a little nutty in the end. Apr 5, 2013 Full Review Nicolas Rapold 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 Apr 5, 2013 Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post A preposterous supernatural thriller that inexplicably managed to sign up Julianne Moore to star. Rated: 1/4 Apr 5, 2013 Full Review Frank Ochieng 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 Nov 17, 2018 Full Review Craig D. Lindsey INDY Week 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 Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow A patchwork, conventional, and oft-told story that's a whole lot sillier than was probably intended.

Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Wolfgang G 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Elvis D 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review Lilith G 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! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review Hoi Y 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.
