Anton Bitel Projected Figures
Måns Mårlind & Björn Stein’s psychothriller uses Dissociative Identity Disorder to compartmentalise faith and suspension of disbelief

Frank Ochieng SF Crowsnest
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.

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"?

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

Jeremy Lebens We Got This Covered
6 Souls is as boring as they come. It's a horror mystery with not a single second of suspense and a batch of uninteresting and naturally boring performances.

Julianne Moore cashes in a small segment of her reputation in the starring role of this overwrought psychological thriller.

If not for the presence of the extraordinary Moore, it wouldn't be worthy of any attention at all.

Christopher Lloyd Sarasota Herald-Tribune
A wretchedly unwatchable train wreck of a film that sorely misuses its talented cast.

Bill Gibron PopMatters
(T)here is a nice sense of dread here, a level of suspense that slowly dissipates as the movie meanders toward the exhausting end of its one hour and forty five minute run time.

John DeFore Hollywood Reporter
Psychology-themed horror tale goes a little nutty in the end.

Simon Brookfield We Got This Covered
Convention-straddled to a significant fault, 6 Souls is however notable for its performances and for sticking to its creepy, contained formula, far more at least than most recent horror films.

Nicolas Rapold New York Times
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.

Kyle Smith New York Post
A preposterous supernatural thriller that inexplicably managed to sign up Julianne Moore to star.

Robert Abele Los Angeles Times
"6 Souls" is regrettably sick with that familiar disease afflicting movies of this ilk: ostentatious, hollow moodiness that spreads like an unwelcome rash.

Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News
What unholy spirit could have possessed Julianne Moore when she signed on for the sort of throwaway horror flick that would normally star unknowns and go straight to DVD?

Rex Reed Observer
The end credits, which seem almost as long as the movie itself, dementedly thank everyone from the citizens of Pennsylvania to William Wyler, Howard Hawks and God. What an insult.

Ultimately, the silly material overwhelms the style ...

Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine
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.

Harvey S. Karten Compuserve
A psychological thriller/cum horror tale about a dangerous fellow with three personalities, a movie that proves Robert Louis Stevenson right: two are fine, more's a crowd.

The conflicting speeds of the feature create chaos, derailing a familiar but promising junk food thriller, which tries much too hard to keep the viewer off the scent of a mystery they will likely show limited interest in to begin with.
