The film belongs to a long tradition of horror films that offensively suggest that all atheists might as well hang a Welcome sign up for the devil.

Ultimately, the silly material overwhelms the style, particularly in a final act involving magical hillbillies living in them thar hills - during which the movie attempts to make a serious point about the importance of faith in the midst of a lot of bad teeth, worse wigs and cheap jolts. Right.

Is it a psychological thriller or a giddy horror of the evil-in-them-there-hills persuasion? This split-personality number can't quite decide.

The New York Times
The filmmakers' aversion to coherent narrative and genuinely suspenseful visuals (not to mention a penchant for having Ms. Moore receive terrible news via cellphone) keep the movie's mystery stew from hitting the spot.

Blame who you must, but whatever went wrong with 6 Souls, God had nothing to do with it.
25
A preposterous supernatural thriller that inexplicably managed to sign up Julianne Moore to star.
20
6 Souls is regrettably sick with that familiar disease afflicting movies of this ilk: ostentatious, hollow moodiness that spreads like an unwelcome rash.
