Lost Souls looks as though the film was developed in a used bedpan (which would explain the dull brown gloss on screen). This movie is laughably, oh-my-god-can-you-believe-it’s-so-seriously bad. Just as strapping on a guitar doesn’t make you Carlos Santana, throwing a few crucifixes and organ music into your movie doesn’t make you The Exorcist.

Lost Souls is the best argument for a moratorium on Devil movies for at least 2,000 years. For those who thought the horny old demon had enough onscreen abuse in End of Days and Stigmata, Souls hammers, drills, spot-welds, and duct tapes the final nail in the coffin. Besides being completely nonsensical, the film further insults us by being unforgivably boring. (Note to screenwriter: It might be nitpicking, but something should happen within the first hour of your movie. Just a thought). There are scenes here that are so comically awful that you almost feel sorry for Lucifer for even being mentioned in this debacle—he was an archangel, after all. Avoid this like you would avoid a rabid Jehovah’s Witness on a Saturday morning during a college bowl game.
