Lost Souls takes The Exorcist a step further by having a crime reporter (Ben Chaplin) in danger of being possessed by Satan himself. Winona Ryder also is on hand as an exorcism survivor. As the directorial debut of Janusz Kaminski, longtime cinematographer for Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List), this has a lot of visual style – slow-motion rain, shots through warped glass – but all of it just adds up to a
better-looking piece of religious exploitation than most.
