What happens

Lost Souls is a 2000 American apocalyptic supernatural horror film directed by Janusz Kamiński in his directorial debut, and starring Winona Ryder, Ben Chaplin, Elias Koteas, and John Hurt. The plot focuses on a devout Catholic woman who becomes convinced through the decoding of ciphers that a successful writer has been designated by Satan to become the antichrist. Completed in 1998 from a screenplay by Pierce Gardner and co-produced by Meg Ryan, Lost Souls was delayed from theatrical release due to the saturation of similarly themed horror films at the nearing of the millennium, such as Stigmata and End of Days (both released in 1999). It was released theatrically in the United States on October 13, 2000, to critical and commercial failure, grossing $31.4 million against a $28 million budget and was panned by critics.
