Lost Souls

|2000

The second release date, February 2000, was also cancelled due to a conflict with the very popular Scream franchise.

It currently holds a 7% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 90 reviews with the consensus stating: "Though Kaminski's film is visually stylish, Lost Souls is just another derivative entry in the Apocalypse genre, with lackluster direction, unengaging characters, and no scares."
