A truly wonderful underrated horror gem of the late 90’s. When it first came out, I don’t think anyone was expecting it to be as good as it was. The hype was pretty low key like David Koepp’s films tend to be and just like Secret Window and The Trigger Effect this turned out to be such a wonderful surprise and I think that just makes any film that much more endearing.
Kevin Bacon gives an amazing performance as a working class guy who gets hypnotized at a party only to find he’s become a sort of channel through which the dead communicate. It’s amazing how well this holds up and how little time I spent gawking at a bunch of hardcore…

Me: Mum, can we get The Sixth Sense?
Mum: We have The Sixth Sense at home
Sixth Sense at home: -
Kevin Bacon plays a man struggling to find meaning in life, when he becomes obsessed by a cry for help from beyond the grave, in this forgotten 90s horror gem.
"They were going to kill you in cold blood. I couldn't let that happen. Not here. This is a decent neighborhood!"
I will always remember Stir of Echoes as being that ghost movie that got totally overlooked due to the phenomenon that was M. Night Shyamalan's smash hit The Sixth Sense, which came out just a month earlier. Both movies are remarkably similar with the dead haunting people in order to get closure following their untimely deaths. I also got a hint of The Shining in this one, when the…

You gotta love those 90s supernatural horror movie and how bonkers they tended to go with their effects and flashy, high speed body shaking effects and some weird and out of creative cheap jump scares where its not like these days when its just loud music and sound effects but cats jumping out of nowhere or someone literally appearing out of the blue just to jump into an stair and alley, and then those sons of b***hes laugh in the background.
So this flick has come to my attention through some of the channels I watch on Youtube and people were lowkey praising it, and while it feels very derivative of movies like Jacob’s Ladder and all of those films…

Well written, well acted, suspenseful, hypnotizingly horror. Kevin Bacon did excellent as always. 'The Sixth Sense' vibes but very different and underrated.

"Does it hurt to be dead?"
Well, hi there.
On this rainy day, I decided to cozy up and read and if mood calls, maybe watch a film - and this ghost film called to me.
I always was turned off by the poster but interested because Kevin Bacon, duh. And then I learnt who else is in the cast so I had to check it out immediately.After being hypnotized, Tom begins seeing haunting visions of a ghost - and becomes increasingly obsessed with solving the mystery around her.
So, Kevin Bacon is in this as Tom and I thought that he played an interested character. A non-believer who gets his eyes opened and wants to figure out what…

Coming out in the same year as The Sixth Sense is this supernatural thriller that just seems to have been completely forgotten about.
Stir of Echoes might be clichéd but it is really well executed. The acting is great from both Kevin Bacon and Kathryn Erne. They had great chemistry and their marriage felt so real to me. The dialogue between them conveys so well where both of them are coming from whilst also showing that they care about the other person.
I was surprised how invested I got in the characters. The story gets pieced together slowly as it builds to a climax that really works.
I highly recommend checking out this underrated gem if you are yet to catch it.

Low key, but super effective horror. Definitely a hidden gem! We focus on a man who finds himself suddenly conscious after a hypnosis session; leading to revelations into the past. Stir of Echoes is a constantly interesting ghost story, with a great screenplay that evokes an involving mystery, some creepy horror and plenty of suspense. Kevin Bacon is great in the lead role, as his character becomes more and more obsessed with the new meaning his life has suddenly received. There's a real ominous feeling hanging over the entire film. Themes of digging into the past come to life quite literally! The way that all the pieces come together at the end is skillfully done, and the final twist makes…

I watched "Stir of Echoes" about two or three months ago and I was blown away by how underrated it was. At the time I wasn't able to articulate my thoughts on how I felt about it, however, just like some of my favourite films of all time I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Even still, after re-watching it last night I still can't quite find the words but I shall give it ago.
This film came out a month after a little known film called "The Sixth Sense" and sadly it got completely blown away and has lived in its shadow ever since. On a side note I've noticed recently that when it comes to competing…

It's based on a Richard Matheson novel — so obviously it's gonna come off very 'The Twilight Zone'-esque; but, mostly, it's the creepiest feature length Minute Maid advertisement ever.

When is Kevin Bacon gonna be crowned a scream king in the zeitgeist?? He’s earned it!

It's a shame that this film was released next to The Sixth Sense and is often compared to it. I always felt that was the reason why it got so little attention back then, which, in my opinion, is totally unjustified.
This film is of the 'gets under your skin' variety. The premise is excellent, if a bit predictably worked out. But the strengths of this film do not lie in its originality, they lie within its visual style and Mr. Bacon.
The film oozes a kind of grim and bleak feel that really got to me. Everything, from the colours to the production design, felt as if something wasn't right, was somehow otherworldly. Sure, this telegraphs things to come…
