Summary: An effective and great horror movie
Review: "Stir of Echoes" is a great horror/thriller movie. Tom (Kevin Bacon) tries being hypnotized one day at a party and he finds out that he is one of the few people that can be deeply and easily hypnotized. Now he's seeing visions of a teenage girl that was murdered and these visions drive him insane. Tom will do anything it takes to find the remains of this girl if it's the last thing he does. Of course his insane behavior is driving his wife (Kathryn Erbe) up the wall, but he can't let her bother him. However, his son (Zachary David Cope) seems to understand because he can see the visions of the girl even better than Tom can. Tom has to find a way to suppress these supernatural visions before he really does go insane."Stir of Echoes" is a great movie in every way. The acting is good, the suspense is great, and it was definitely one of the best movies of the year if you ask me. If it wouldn't have came out in the theatres at almost the same time as "The Sixth Sense," it would've been a more popular movie and it wouldn't be underrated like it is now. I recommend anybody who likes horror movies to get "Stir of Echoes," you won't regret it.

Summary: Very Good Movie
Review: This was a really good scary movie. I Liked how it was very simple, without an huge buget, and yet they still pulled of a great story. There really never was a dull moment. The creepyness just starts right from the get go, and keeps you intrested up untill the end. If you need a break from all those slasher movies which worry more about the overly elaborate chase secnes, and would perfer a movie thats mysterious, creepy, and keeps you on the edge of your seat biting your fingernails, then Stir of Echoes is the movie for you.

Summary: Incompatible to The Sixth Sense because it was better!
Review: This film has been overlooked by many but my hope is that you, the reader will want to see it. I personally believe that this is one of Kevin Bacon's best performances. The best ones are always the ones in which the actor has to play someone on the verge of insanity. That is Kevin Bacon's character in this film, a man who isn't sure about what he sees. He knows the images he sees are there, but who is in control of them? Maybe his wife is, or the hypnotist, or even his son! I won't neglect to mention that the suspenseful parts of the movie (the boo scares) are well placed and unexpected, but also frightful is the eerie atmosphere and cinematography. Check this out, you shouldn't be disappointed.

Summary: The Sixth Sence's Middle Class Brother.
Review: Face it people, this was a little too close, a little too soon..... Wake up, people are obviously gonna compare the two. Sure, it's unfair, but thats life. It really is quite a good movie, though. Like the sixth sence, if you have any belief in the supernatural, you will walk away with a little more belief. The Acting is great, the film is tense and the last scene before the credits is one of the most haunting scenes you'll ever see.

Summary: Man this is one scary movie!
Review: But DO NOT let that put you off buying it. I bought it from amazon, because it takes too long for it to be released here in the UK. And I was NOT disappointed. Kevin Bacon has still got it! and seems to have acquired another talent, picked up during a hypnosis session [do not attempt it at home kids...]. He can see dead people ~ well, one dead person in particular, who he need to help find whoever killed her. Such a great suspenseful movie ~ it had me glued the whole time. The ensemble cast are superb and the film keeps you guessing the whole time. DO NOT WATCH ALONE..... LOL

Summary: Um, this was good? I think not.
Review: Sure, Stir of Echoes got the shaft because it was released around the same time as the Sixth Sense. However, the very notion that this film was great and would have been a box office smash if not for that unfortunate coincedence.. Well, that's really quite scary. Granted, some parts were ok, at times even good, but there were a number of distractions. Kevin Bacon's son wasn't exactly easy on the eyes (I hope I don't have to elaborate this, because I don't want to offend anyone). It was also sort of surreal how he (the son) always commented on the dead people around them as if, "hey, everything is going to be ok". It's interesting for one person in a movie to be able to see dead people. Several people.. no. Especially if some small child is completely ok with it, and the father is going batty. The son didn't even play any sort of purpose in the whole film. He just sort of screwed everything up. Kevin Bacon was definitely shortchanged here, as his performance would have seemed a lot better if not for the kid. Why drag the focus off of how frightening and mysterious it is? I swear I hated the presence of that kid in the movie long before the credits rolled by. Also, the ending was, well, way too predictable. In a psychological thriller, I want to be surprised. I don't want to be yawning, looking at my watch, or looking for the bathroom because I could care less. See? No comparisons to that "other movie", though I'm sure you could make some yourself. This "film" is just horrible, thanks to a few mindless screw-ups.

Summary: The title says it all- a very stirring and haunting movie!
Review: In the midst of so many movies about psychics/paranormal/hynotism/childred seeing dead people, etc. et. etc. that came out around the same time, it is easy to confuse "Stir of Echoes" with another seemingly similar movie, or miss it all together among the heap. When I first saw it, I remember thinking, "Is that the one about the little boy who sees dead people?" (yes, it also is, but I was specifically thinking of "Sixth Sense") or the one about the guy who's wife is worried about him because he suddenly freaks out after a weird encounter?"(yes, it is also, but I was specifically thinking of "The Astronaut's Wife".) Although it is easy to confuse this title with other similar horror movies- and I suppose that means a comment can be made about its lack of originality in plot- it was a very unique movie that deserves to be watched for its own merit. I was amazed at the little boy's performance. He acted out so many scary things- seeing dead people, talking to them, calming down his dad when he was afraid- in a very convincing manner. A lot of parts in the movie did exactly what they were intended to do- scared me to death! I didn't give this movie five stars because there were some events that happened that didn't seem to reeappear throughout the rest of the movie so I wondered why they were in there at all. For example, in the beginning the boy's mother says she is pregnant but there is no mention of a coming baby anywhere throughout the rest of the show. There is also a character of a police man who was very underdeveloped and didn't need to be there, in my opinion. So for these dropped story lines I get it four stars, but the rest of the movie was definitely great. You will be entranced by the story line of a haunted house, a boy and father who see dead people and the wife and mother who wonders if they are both losing their minds. You will also be eerily creeped out by certain unexpected parts in the movie. Stir of Echoes is definitely the movie to get for that late-night Horror Fest, and is especially appropriate since Halloween is right around the corner! (Also: The DVD version has a lot of captivating theatrical trailers, as well as a revealing director's cut.)
