6 SOULS (dir. Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein) This could have been a tremendously eerie horror film, but unfortunately the plot is driven by a glaring factual error that cannot be overlooked. The central evil character of the film is a Christian faith healer who during the 1918 flu pandemic convinces a community of backwoods people that only their belief in god will save them from the plague. However, unbeknownst to the townspeople, he and his children took the flu vaccine, and when the townspeople learn of his deceit, they exact their revenge. This entire element of the plot is absolutely ridiculous because in 1918 there was no flu vaccine, in fact, medical technology had not even determined the existence of viruses. Because of this unforgivable factual error, all the classy sinister and foreboding atmosphere is wasted because the plot is driven by a complete lack of veracity.
