Lost Souls is a 2000 supernatural thriller directed by Janusz Kaminski and starring Winona Ryder, Ben Chaplin, and John Hurt. The film follows Peter Kelson, a writer who studies serial killers and becomes the target of a small group of Catholics led by an ailing priest who believe that Satan intends to become man.
Maya Larkin, a young teacher, is tasked with investigating Peter and convincing him of the possibility of Evil incarnate. As they delve deeper into the case, Peter begins to experience strange occurrences and signs that point to his body being the vessel for Satan's reincarnation.
With the help of Maya and a seasoned exorcist named Father Lareaux, Peter fights against his own inner demons as he tries to prevent Satan from taking over his body and unleashing chaos on the world.
The film explores themes of faith, redemption, and the battle between good and evil. It received mixed reviews upon release and was considered a commercial disappointment, but remains a cult classic for its atmospheric visuals and haunting score.
