(I believe this movie was shown in the theaters as Shelter, but was released in DVD as 6 Souls.) I fell for the description of this movie written as a psychological thriller. It even started out as such with what looked to be a lot of promise; then it degenerated into some of a religious and/or cult (is there a difference?) supernatural crap. Look, if I want such fantasy and horror movies, I will seek out and watch them. But when it is mislabeled as something else, it really is irritating. In the first half, the lead characters did quite a good job acting-wise. When the story turns to silliness, I lost the interest in the plot and the acting, so excuse me if I didn't pay that much attention in the latter part. The locations, camera angles, lighting etc were quite good. It is the storytelling (the most important part in a movie, at least for me) that is lacking. My Rating: 6.0
