Dr. Cara Harding (Julianne Moore) is a dedicated psychiatrist skeptical about the nature of certain afflictions, especially Multiple Personality Disorder. Her skepticism starts to give way when her father, Dr. Harding (Jeffrey DeMunn), introduces her to a patient named Adam (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) who consistently assumes the personalities of murder victims. Cara's work with Adam puts her and her daughter Sammy (Brooklynn Proulx) at risk of becoming victims themselves.

Critics Consensus

The most mind-bending aspect of 6 Souls is Julianne Moore's participation, the overqualified star wasted on a goofy horror premise that generates more guffaws than scares.

Psychology-themed horror tale goes a little nutty in the end.

2/5

Beginning as a psychiatric freak show, "6 Souls" eventually trades serial-killer intimations for backwoods bad mojo before becoming just another dimly lighted pop-up-stalker flick.

1/4

A preposterous supernatural thriller that inexplicably managed to sign up Julianne Moore to star.

1.5/4

The woefully stagnant Souls-searching being performed in this face-switching frightfest is hopelessly inert and idiotic. As far as split-personality spook flicks are concerned, turn the other cheek regarding this thin slice-and-dice thriller.

2/4

Even though God is actually mentioned in the closing, special-thanks credits, dude couldn't unfortunately work His/Her magic and prevent this film from being the uneven, preposterously out-of-control wreck that it is. Can the church say "Amen"?

A patchwork, conventional, and oft-told story that's a whole lot sillier than was probably intended.

“6 Souls” This was an excellent movie starring julianna Moore. It had to do with what I would call voodoo or witchcraft and a man that had the ability to suck the souls out of his victims and take on their identities. Great special effects and a great supporting cast. This one will keep you on the edge of your seat and his quite a different horror movie than you’re used to seeing. Not sure if there will be a sequel to this because the way the film ended led me to believe that there possibly could be but this one is definitely worth the watch period.

I really liked this movie. It was good. Didn’t understand much why she did not take her daughter to a church instead of the witch but I liked the ending anyways. Must watch 4% NOT FAIR

Seeing the critics give it 4% felt a little brutal until I watched it. Kept me invested until the end, that's why I'm giving it 1.5 out of 5. The pacing is really good, but the answers to all the mystery and suspense.. Oh man. The writers basically said "because magic" and give you no further explanation
