The Blu-ray release of 'Lost Souls' by Scream Factory, using an MPEG-4 AVC-encoded BD-50 sourced from a new 2K scan, captures the film's intended grainy texture and muted colors with superior contrast and clarity, staying true to its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio and visual style.

Audio: 75

Lost Souls' Blu-ray delivers a highly immersive DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 Surround track, with effective use of surrounds and a haunting score by Jan A.P. Kaczmarek, while dialog remains clear and crisp. Both 5.1 and 2.0 stereo mixes provide superb audio quality, closely aligning with the theatrical experience.

Extra: 41

The "Lost Souls" Blu-ray maintains valuable extras from the DVD, featuring Kaminski and Fiore's insightful commentary on industry themes, although technical discussions may not captivate all viewers. Deleted scenes and a grainy trailer are presented in upconverted 1080p but lack restoration, emphasizing pacing and repetition issues.

Movie: 66

Lost Souls, Janusz Kaminski’s visually compelling directorial debut, combines a monochromatic atmospheric style with a strong leading performance from Ben Chaplin. Despite delays, it delivers a supernatural thriller that genre fans may appreciate, even as critics viewed it less favorably. Winona Ryder's engaging role and eerie sequences contribute to its appeal.
