Ratings and reviews

96 Souls is captivating from start to finish. A really good sci-fi film about a research scientist studying the potential to use light to see olfactory data (scent). After an all night work session he accidentally gives himself the ability to see smells. He then begins to see people's souls, or the essence of their humanity. Weren't give away to much after this point but the story is original and highly entertaining.

Didn't know what to expect as most indie sci-fi films are so low budget I can't make it past the 5 minute mark. This one proved me wrong. Good storyline and a surprising ending. Some parts do need to be a little polished but I can look past that because of the good plot!

I liked it. Nice to see films like this that actually have a message or a idea behind it. Interesting concept you have to see it to understand the theme of the film. Spiritual and science mixed.
