Summary: An underrated film...A 4 1/2/ starrer for me!
Review: It's a pity that this movie has to be shown closely with the Sixth Sense thus being closely associated with it. The only similarity it has with the said film is the father/son's special gift of being able to see & talk to dead people. The similarity ends there as Stir of Echoes offers much more in terms of story plot & characterization. Unlike the 6th Sense where the surprise ending spoils the story if you watch it the 2nd time around, I still cannot get enough of the "surprises" here in Stir of Echoes. Despite numerous viewings, I still cannot stand watching the dark theater scene as the girl's face continuously haunts me.

Summary: Stir of Echoes Stirs the Soul
Review: Stir of Echoes catches and holds your attention right from the start. Jake (the little boy), is sitting in the bathtub talking to someone you can't see, asking "Does it hurt to be dead?" This is definitely an attention getter that makes you realize that you will not be able to miss one minute of this movie. It is one of the best mystery/thriller movies I have seen since The Exorcist. In no way does it compare to "The Sixth Sense", which came out right before it. After watching "The Sixth Sense" first, then renting "Stir of Echoes", I would highly recommend the latter of the two.

Summary: Murder Mystery disguised as a scary movie
Review: This was a good movie, a weird movie, and most of all a very predictable movie. It had several things which did not make sense, such as a small boy sees a dead girl named Samantha, and his father played by Kevin Bacon gets hypnotized at a party and can suddenly see the dead girl as well. This movie is a combination between the crazy hallucinations of Poltergeist, the dead people of the Sixth Sense, and its really a murder mystery movie disguised as a thriller / scary movie. As weird as the movie and the hallucinations of Kevin Bacon are, it does climax quite nicely and predictably at the end, making the movie worth a watch. There are very good amount of DVD features like a music video (which is terrible) enough TV spots on the DVD to get you bored of the movie before it starts.

Summary: A Supernatural Thriller
Review: This movie is based on the book of the same name written by Richard Matheson. Kevin Bacon plays a fairly typical working-class guy living in Chicago with his wife and his son. One night at a party, he gets into a lively discussion with his sister-in-law, who believes in psychic communication and the power of hypnosis. He challenges her to hypnotize him, and she plants in him a post-hypnotic suggestion to be more open-minded. But the results aren't quite what either of them expected; he sees the spirit of a girl from the neighborhood who disappeared months ago; as does his son.

Summary: God-Awful Movie
Review: Read the novel by Richard Matheson if you want a good ghost story. This movie is far too Hollywood and does nothing right except two scenes. It also blasphemies by including footage from Night of the Living Dead! I barely made it through w/o turning off the movie and returning it right then and there. This is one of those movies that feels like it's trying really hard to give you the finger. And "Paint It black" by The Rolling Stones, one of my favorite songs, appears only in one scene and it's just a lame cover. AWFUL MOVIE!

Summary: It gets under your skin!
Review: Director David Koepp has a frightening track record: A blockbuster smash movie OR an excellent flick that gets ruthlessly ignored...no in-betweens! Tom Witzky (Bacon) is too "ordinary" until sister in law, Lisa, hypnotizes him and makes him a "magnet" to the unknown. His son, Jake (Cope), already talks to ghosts not seen by anyone until Tom begins to see, feel, and hear what Jake does. Tom's wife, Maggie (Kathryn Erbe), is oblivious to all of this. Members of the neighborhood has a well-kept secret that is not about to re-surface any time soon until Tom flips out and supernaturally gets all the answers. Great film that was ignored because of the similarities with "The Sixth Sense". Personally, I feel this flick is creepier! Worth the buy!

Summary: Stir of Echoes
Review: If you haven't seen this movie yet, SEE IT. It is excellent! Why it didn't get some type of award is beyond me, but let's face it they gave American Beauty Best Picture over The Sixth Sense! This has got to be one of Kevin Bacon's finest roles, he is fantastic as the blue collar family man trying to figure out what's happening with himself and his son. This and Sixth Sense are the two best thrillers in years. If you've never seen it...RENT IT, if you don't own it....BUY IT! It's worth it.
