Stir of Echoes

source: Stir of Echoes

One of most underrated movies ever as it over Shadow by the little overrated sixth sense, I love sixth sense but it not as good as this movie. Tom Witzky (Kevin Bacon) is a typical working-class man living in Chicago with his wife Maggie (Kathryn Erbe) and son Jake (Zachary David Cope). Tom is talking to Maggie's sister Lisa, who believes in psychic communication and the power of hypnosis. He challenges Lisa to hypnotise him, and after putting him under, Lisa plants a post-hypnotic suggestion in Tom urging him to "be more open-minded." Later Tom sees a young woman on the sofa and then disappears and then panics. Maggie find out that Tom can see the dead. Tom soon find out that Jake also can see the ghost of girl. Tom soon find why this girl in haunting him and his son. Acting is great so i going to rated this film a 10/10. This is an excellent thriller. Don't miss it.

Stir of Echoes is a great horror movie that has great acting by Kevin Bacon, Kathryn Erbe, Illeana Douglas, Zachary David Cope, and Jennifer Morrison. The movie is especially scary and Kevin Bacon makes a very believable performance. The film is scary, and thrilling and has lots of twists and turns. I give Stir of Echoes an 8 out of 10.

Stir of Echoes is a fun little horror movie, yet no one seems to know about it. It's got some entertaining jump-out moments and some pretty impressive visual effects. There are some annoying plot points, and the story is somewhat predictable, but overall this is an enjoyable horror movie.

Stir of Echoes is a scary movie that has a good story to tell. It is not a shallow film, like many in the horror genre. Stir of Echoes is a mystery-thriller that unravels itself through supernatural means, and offers horror in a meaningful package.

This movie is just another one of those cheap knockoffs of current boxoffice hits. (Has anyone else noticed that movies come out in pairs now? There must be some guy in hollywood who just goes around stealing scripts or something.) This movie involves a kid who can see dead people (what movie does that sound like?), and Kevin Bacon puts out a wanting performance. This knockoff of the 6th sense was predictable, and not near as good as the real thing.

Great entertaining film for Halloween and great photography in Joliet, Illinois and the Chicago Metro area. Kevin Bacon,(Tom),"Trapped",02, plays a telephone lineman and his wife, Kathryn Arbe,"The Addiction",'95, move into a home that they rent and they also have a son who likes to talk to himself and carries on a very good conversation. As the movie progresses, we find out there is a young girl who seems to appear to Tom, who has glasses and is average looking. Poor Tom hears all kinds of things in his head and even stops working; the reason being, he has a big project in his own home that needs a jack hammer. Tom is so upset with all the visions and voices, he even interrupts love making with his wife and runs out of the bed. Great entertainment, but Kevin Bacon wore me out just sitting looking at this film.!

From the previews it appeared to be a very promising film. After much anticipation on my part, I found the film pretty disappointing with the potential it held. Not to give away too much, but was it just me, or did the previews never show the kids ability to hear them too? In its defense, the ending was perfect, and left the possibility open but not necessary for a sequel. Maybe an Echo of Echoes will take it to its full potential.

This movie is pretty grey for me. Neither astonishingly bad or very good. Very sixth sense -like, but with a more thriller/ murder mystery vibe. Sfx we're pretty awful, acting wasn't great from Kevin Bacon, plot line was cool but just carried quite badly, big anti climax. Came away from this film feeling fairly 'meh'. I wouldn't bother to be honest.

Some had told me this one was actually better than the "Sixth Sense" and I found this to be true (they get compared because they were released about the same time). The plot has a guy hypnotized at a party. He wakes up from the trance finding that he was very receptive to hypnotic suggestion. He even learns that the gal who hypnotized him stuck a pin through his hand (if someone did that to me, I would be ticked). He also now is very thirsty and he seems to be able to receive messages from beyond the grave. His son also has this talent. A very good suspense that has more of a plot than "Sixth Sense" did and it moves much better. You should be able to figure out the mystery though fairly easily, but that does not diminish how good this film is. Kevin Bacon is great in the lead role and all in all this was a very entertaining flick.
