Cara Harding (Julianne Moore) is a Forensic psychiatrist who gets her kicks out of debunking the criminally insane. One day she gets a call from her father played by Jeffrey DeMunn, who is also a psychiatrist, about one of his patients with multiple personality disorder. The young man goes by the name of Adam (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), or well his dominant personality does, and Cara notices some strange oddities about some of his other personalities. The other names are all real-life murder victims, and Cara comes to the conclusion that he has made up all of his personalities off of things he had seen in the news. The fact that Adam's personalities know a little too much about the victims either means he was there during their murders or something way more sinister. At the same time, Cara's father and her daughter (Brooklynn Proulx) start to develop strange sores and hacking coughs. Could this have something to do with the strange cult we saw before?
In the end, 6 Souls is a confusing, lackluster attempt at a thriller. While 6 Souls started out with an interesting attempt of having a man with six personalities that are murder victims; alternatively, the movie is sluggish and falls flat. Jonathan Rhys Meyers' fails horribly at trying to do the six American accents and at transitioning between the different characters. Six Souls was released over three years ago in the UK under the title Shelter, and we can see now why no one was in a hurry to show it in the United States. The low-budget production and shabby attempts at keeping the mystery buoyant failed completely. Basically, if it wasn't for the talents of Moore, there would be no reason to see this film at all.
