Pat M. J. from GRANTS PASS, OR
Reviewed on 6/10/2015...
If you like seeing Kevin Bacon acting at the top of his form, this film is it. A middle class worker, he laments to his wife, played with beauty and grace, that his life is "so ordinary". A friend, an amateur hypnotist, puts him "under" at a party, and he begins to suffer from nightmarish flashbacks of a life he knows nothing about. In defiance of his "ordinariness" perhaps he pursues these frightening and violent images with a manic intensity. The results are tragic but to Kevin, they are a vindication, a "destiny" of sorts. The direction is quite good and the script gives Bacon a large range to express.

I can't believe that in all of the reviews written here about "Stir Of Echoes" not one single person mentioned or even knew that the script was based on a novel of the same name by Richard Matheson. That fact alone should be enough to get any horror movie fan to check this film out!!! Great book ... great movie ... and, by the way, the novel was written many decades before anyone ever even thought of the idea for "The Sixth Sense". "Stir Of Echoes" cannot be considered as having any relationship to the other film at all. "Stir Of Echoes" came first, by a very long shot! Check it out!!!

Six Degrees of Stir of Echoes
Michael Lloyd | Midland, Texas USA 300 miles W. of Dallas | 01/22/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This movie was truly a surprise, and a victim of bad timing. It was eerie, suspensful, funny, and somewhat similar to and released around the same time as the Sixth Sense. The mammoth success of Sixth Sense truly wounded this film's potential.Kevin Bacon does a great job as playing a madman driving by those subliminal movie messages like "Dig". He opens up a pathway into the paranormal world after being placed into a hypnotic spell by Ileana Douglas(Fox's Action). From there he finds that he not the only one in his family with the "Shinning", yes the Shinning. Do you want to get sued lad! Sorry, Simpson's reference after he sees his son talking to "imaginary" dead friends as we all tended to do from time to time. While the movie was overshadowed by Sixth Sense it had more action, and moved at a faster pace. The only thing that Sixth sense had over the films was it's incredible ending. The movie would have you jumping one minute and laughing the next, but not in the predictable way most horror movies do. It was truly well done, and had a great sex scene where the wife wakes the husband(Bacon) for some loving. It's true in movies dreams can come true. Go see it or buy it either way you shouldn''t be disappointed unless you one of the people that likes to ruin a movie by saying that's a rip-off from Sixth Sense or that doesn't happen in the Sixth Sense. Also, look for the microwave burrito on the nightstand. I'm still not sure of the symbolism, but I'm sure it's something genious. Take care, go get it!"
Forget Comparisons, This Movie Is GREAT

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It seems this movie will forever be compared with "Sixth Sense". The unfortunate timing that had Sense opening first seemed to push this movie off to the side. That is a terrible shame, because this movie is as good as any around. Comparing Echoes to Sense is like comparing DaVinci to Michealangelo. Both are great in their own distinct ways. The story of an ordinary working class guy (Kevin Bacon) living in his version of a safe, ideal neighborhood whose world is throw out of whack when he is hypnotized by his ditzy sister-in-law (the always good Illeana Douglas). When he starts to experience strange things, it turns his and his family's world upside down. It would be a shame to say more and possibly spoil the suspenseful plot, but the twists and turns this tale takes are wonderful. This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat and give you a good half-dozen or so jump out of your skin scares. Well acted (Bacon and Douglas are the "big" names, but Kathryn Erbe, Kevin Dunn, AJ Oto lead a great supporting cast, and Zachary David Cope does an amazing job as Bacon's son) and written, this movie should have been a much bigger hit. The second life it has received on video/DVD is well-deserved.If you missed this one when it was first out, grab a copy. It is a GREAT film, and worth adding to your DVD collection."

"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."
