96 Souls: Directed by Stanley Jacobs. With Grinnell Morris, Sridhar Maruvada, Paul Statman, Toyin Moses. A university research scientist, about to lose funding and status, has a lab accident and discovers he can see people’s true intentions — making his situation even worse.

“u0026quot;96 Soulsu0026quot; is captivating from start to finish. The lead scientist at a university lab has his hands full as he deals with personal disappointment and heartbreak at the same time he is fighting for support of his unprecedented research into light-based identification of scent. His life turns upside down when an accident in the lab inadvertently provides the breakthrough he is seeking and more. This low-budget thriller uses simple, but effective special effects to illustrate the u0026quot;hallucinogenicu0026quot; quality of his formula – it literally alters oneu0026#39;s perception of reality. There is unexpected humor in this film, which doesnu0026#39;t detract from its message about the importance of not abusing potentially exploitative information for harm. It is also a meditation on love and loss, as well as personal redemption. Jacku0026#39;s discovery transforms him as readily as it transforms his field of study. Toyin Moses deserves special recognition for her performance as Bazemint Tapes. Her scene in the mental hospitalu0026#39;s music room is both poignant and revelatory, and the young actress is convincing throughout the film. This nicely-written film serves a main course of entertainment with side of morality tale.”
