Lost
Souls Movie Review:
Lost
Souls has been in production so long that I must admit I
thought that it had maybe been lost there. Production on
Lost Souls started round about the time that the other Millenium
fear movies such as End Of Days, now as you and I know they
have been and gone for quite a while, so what happened to
Lost Souls then?
Well,
they had problems with the ending of the movie and took
it back for a reshoot and a rewrite. But I'm sorry if you
are going to do that at least have the sense to make a different
ending good! Instead of the dross that we are given in Lost
Souls.
The
subject matter here is nigh on identical to that other turkey
released this month Bless
The Child. I was sorely tempted with this review to
say just look at that review as my opinions are pretty much
the same as for this.
And
for those who may have not read my Bless The Child review,
it basically states that it is a poor imitation of the Omen
movies and has nothing new to say at all.
Winona
Ryder stars in Lost Souls who is the first to figure out
that Satan is up to his usual tricks again.
The
only good thing I have to say about Lost Souls is that it
looks good. And so it should too, seeing as how the director
is Janusz Kaninski who was Speilberg's cinematographer on
Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List. And this is the
crucial difference between Speilberg and Kaninski. Speilberg
knows how to tell a story while making the movie look good.
Kaninski hasn't learnt yet how to tell a story well.
And
the story is to be blunt, ropey and hackneyed. Watch Omen
or Rosemary's Baby instead.
