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.
