All Souls is an American paranormal hospital drama television series created by Stuart Gillard and Stephen Tolkin and inspired by Lars von Trier's miniseries The Kingdom. It originally aired for a six-episode season on UPN in 2001. The series follows the medical staff of the haunted teaching hospital All Souls. While working as a medical intern, Dr. Mitchell Grace, portrayed by Grayson McCouch (pictured), discovers that the doctors are running unethical experiments on their patients. Filming took place in Montreal, Canada, in a working psychiatric hospital. All Souls had low viewership, and has not been released on home video or through streaming services. Critical response was primarily positive; commentators praised its use of horror and paranormal elements. Critics had mixed reviews for the show's content and style when compared to other horror and science-fiction television series, such as The X-Files and the work of American writer Stephen King.
