Back of the box:
Ever since Tom Witzy (Kevin Bacon) was hypnotized by his kooky
sister-in-law (Illeana Douglas), he's had terrifying visions of a horrible
crime. But the hallucinations give him more than the creeps when he
discovers physical remnants of the nightmares in his waking hours. When
Tom learns his son can also see ghosts, he must find a way out of the spell
and solve the mystery that haunts him and his family.
The Bloody Truth:
This was a surprise success of a film working off the momentum of The
Sixth Sense. Instead of being a hollow attempt to attract an audience with
a familiar premise, Stir of Echoes stands on it own two feet. Thanks to a
great cast and some interesting direction by David Koepp the movie
stands out as an creepy and effectively atmospheric tale.
Restless spirits, unhappy demons
and cursed places await you
