The premise

A young woman becomes aware of a conspiracy to enable the Devil to walk the Earth in human form. To defeat the prophesy, she must convince a respected New York crime journalist, who is devoid of faith, that he is in fact the target of the conspiracy.

Horror Vault's take

A deeply devout young woman, survivor of a harrowing exorcism, uncovers a chilling religious conspiracy that leads her to the doorstep of a successful but faithless New York journalist. Convinced he is unknowingly at the center of a diabolical plan, she must persuade a man who believes in nothing to take a terrifying threat seriously — before time runs out. Janusz Kaminski's brooding cinematography drapes the film in cold shadow, lending an oppressive weight to every revelation. Lost Souls is a slow-burn descent into doubt and dread, anchored by Winona Ryder's haunted, committed performance.
