Lost Souls stars industry veteran John Savage and tells the story of a family who move into a new home and experience unusual events. Among them is a young autistic girl who seems to be at the centre of it all.Truth is I'm pretty sure I've seen this very same plot before, it certainly isn't even remotely original but thanks to strong performances and a competent director it has an identity of its own.Though it doesn't all flow together flawlessly it's a harmless little tale but I'd never say it falls under the horror umbrella. I'd call it a supernatural thriller.Sadly among it's flaws are a few red herrings and unexplained moments/characters that really should have been padded out. Without being the film feels a tad incomplete.Regardless Lost Souls is a just about passable effort even if you'll see the twist coming by no later than half way through the film.The Good:Well madeJohn SavageThe Bad:Twist is a tad predictibleToo many unanswered questionsThings I Learnt From This Movie:I suddenly want a train set!

I started to watch this movie back in 1999, while trying to record another show that I thought was on, but it ended up being this movie and I only had recorded the first hour of it & have been looking everywhere to find out where I can buy it to see the ending!!!! Help, can anybody tell me where I can purchase this? I know, after 8 years, u'd think I'd forget? Nope, gotta see this ending... I thought it was awesome of what I had seen...I had remembered that the name was Lost Souls, but whenever I did a search, I could never find info on it & I remembered the kids finding a box that did something, so when i read a few others comments, I saw that in there and knew I had the right movie. I was just missing the Nightworld part of the title. But know I have the title, I have to find a place to purchase it.Carolyn

This is a drama about a family discovering a child murder is living near by, and his 2 victims, young children are communicating with a young autistic girl via ancient Edison invention.Its so sad how those two kids got stuffed in bags and buried.I saw this movie once on Fox Family's "13 days of Halloween." Overall, I thought it was a really great movie. I voted it for a 10 out 10. It is one of my favorite movies. And I recommend anyone who likes mystery and horror films watch this great movie. Please Enjoy the film on Youtube also.--Samuel

I'll just be vague about my potential spoiling comments. There are enough canned plot elements in this movie that it's essentially pre-spoiled.This movie derives a few ideas from a Southern classic, To Kill A Mockingbird. I suppose maybe TKOM got its ideas from some source.... at any rate, after you watch this, you'll say, "Oh yeah, that is a ripoff".I think the truly entertaining thing about these McMovies is once you've identified a plot element, is to figure out whether they'll stick with the original, or try to twist it around. Not a lot of twists in this one.
