Summary: Stir vs. Sixth
Review: Stir of Echoes is much better than The Sixth Sense. I hated The Sixth Sense. I actually fell asleep during it. Stir of Echoes kept me on my toes. It was fast moving and really had some creepy scenes. Kevin Bacon is great and the actress who plays his wife is hot. Definitely rent this one.

Summary: Sufficiently Creepy
Review: Although the story tends to be trite and uninteresting in parts, the performances by Bacon and others were adequate. I say this because the performances were hindered by poor script writing and choppy dialogue. One scene involves a heated discussion which could have potentially been the most intense part of the story, but the dialogue was so unbelievable and "scripted" it fell flat.In addition, I found that the Chicago scene was portrayed poorly. It makes me feel that everyone in Chicago goes to "block parties" each weekend. I doubt that is the case. Overall, I did like the creepiness, but it certainly could have used some creative dialogue.

Summary: Good solid movie.
Review: I liked sixth sense, alot. I liked stir of echoes even more. Why? For one thing, Kevin Bacon is a better actor then Bruce Willis. Scriptwise there equally good. But I for Stir because it's more suspens.

Summary: Better then "The Sixth Sense"
Review: Great movie. this DVD has one of the best Dolby Digital surround sound. Definitely more entertaining than the more popular "Sixth Sense". Kevin Bacon at his best, too bad this movie is overlooked because of the highly publiced the sixth sense. Too bad Artisan did not include English subtitle on the disc and despite CC logo on the jacket, the disc is not close captioned. Hello Artisan?

Summary: Stir of Emotions...
Review: So what if comparisons between Sixth Sense and Stir have been less than favorable by a few critics; The question is Chevy or Ford. Indeed it all depends on marketing and timing. Both films had a very striking resemblance to story or plot lines and main characters. However, this is one of Bacon's better convincing performances in a long time.Any viewers particularly fond of "small" or "major" twists or surprises will surely get a chill from the little boy's(who play's Bacon's son) statement and revelation of, "...I'm afraid of the feathers". Watching Bacon's character transform from a cynical disbeliever of the powers of hypnotism and the spiritual world to a man going literally mad until he finds the answers to what he is seeing is amazing ! The events that lead to the ending are all packaged in a nerve racking roller coaster ride. There is a great sense of closure and fulfillment with the story as well; no loose ends or confusing open ended questions. This film is cleverly written and the effects (though not overpowering or overabundant) are uniquely mesmerizing ! Stir of Echoes should have stirred more box office earnings. Again, it was due to bad timing in competition with the now critically and Academy Award acclaimed film The Sixth Sense...

Summary: A fine and troubling horror movie
Review: Stir of Echoes sort of got unnoticed because of the strong (and of course merited) praise on Sixth Sense. still, this movie is a high quality psychological horro movie that you shouldnt miss. You might think at first that the story going on is not that frightening, but try for once to put yourself in one of the characters and then think how you would feel if you were in that situation. It will definitely make you shiver.

Summary: Yawn
Review: Hollywood loves to pump out a couple of the same plot line movies at the same time. For instance, first there was Deep Impact, then came Armageddon, followed shortly by a half dozen cheesy meteor movies. Stir of Echo is the weak effort of The Sixth Sense movie concept. "I See Dead People Everywhere" and so does Kevin in this movie. Why go for the bronze when you can go for the gold. Wait a few weeks and pick up the Sixth Sense, Echoes is barely worth renting, you certainly will not find this movie worth watching over and over.

Summary: Please check your pants after viewing this movie!
Review: WOW! This has to be the most underrated movie of 1999. This movie is guaranteed to freak you out. The visual effects, although low tech, are extremely well done and provide a very eerie look into the world of the paranormal. The plot is also done very well. Elements that are introduced throughout the film are tided together quite nicely in the end. The acting is superb, with Kevin Bacon giving the best performance of his career. He really makes you believe in his character, which is one of the elements that makes this movie work so well. I have the DVD edition, listening to this in 5.1 format is a must. The ghostlike voices that come from the rear speakers gives new meaning to the DVD experience, especially in a dark room.

Summary: Horrifying beginning...
Review: This movie started out so scary that I actually screamed out loud at one point. But the movie sort of fizzled and then fell flat with a too typical ending... but the first part! ...definately made it worth seeing!

Summary: Stir of Echoes
Review: I love this movie, it made me a fan of Kevin Bacon and the whole cast. I think the cast chosen for this movie was perfect. You'll have to watch to see just why. Bacon instantly convinces me with his portrayal of Tom that a door has been "opened" in his mind. Cope who plays Jake Tom's son demonstrates extraordinary talent as an innocent child with an "open mind". All in all the movie is very effective and intriguing from the moment it starts. I still can't stop thinking about it.
