Although this made-for-TV chiller would seem to have been inspired by
The Amityville Horror, it actually has a closer kinship to
To Kill a Mockingbird. Moving his family into their new home, tech writer Victor Robinson (
John Savage) can't shake the feeling that someone is already living there. Well, not exactly "living"; thanks to an ancient Edison invention activated by Victor's autistic daughter, the family begins picking up disturbing echoes of a murder that occurred there eight years ago. Even worse, one of the Robinsons' neighbors is a child killer, who will strike again unless the spirits of his past victims can make themselves known. First telecast November 12, 1998, Lost Souls was originally part of UPN's weekly "Nightworld" movie series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
