Stir of Echoes

"The skillful shock cuts will make you jump out of your skin..."

"David Koepp steers clear of silly pyrotechnics and empty show... employing the racket of city life and intelligent sound edits to crank up the tension."

"These Echoes are faint at best."

"Stir of Echoes might have worked just fine a few decades ago..."

"In a taut, grippingly intense performance, Bacon captures the frenetic torment of a man driven to extremes by forces he can't begin to fathom."

"Stir of Echoes is much more down and dirty (than The Sixth Sense), and the thrills are more visceral."

"(Koepp) grounds the scary stuff in a believable reality..."

"Kevin Bacon stars in one of his best performances."

"Koepp does a masterful job of grounding his intimations of the supernatural in a totally persuasive down-to-earth context."

"There's visceral horror, too, including a grisly image -- a horror-in-miniature involving a fingernail -- that located an open nerve in my jaded ability to endure screen violence."
