Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Please don't spend money on this.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This movie was so good. Highly recommend. This movie has a lot to it and it keeps you wondering what's next. The story was well told and beautiful although what happens throughout isn't what you would consider beautiful. Altogether though this movie is a MUST see!

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. One of the things that caught my attention was that this story was originally penned by Richard Matheson as a book. He has a boatload of credits to his name both as a book and short story author as well as the dozens of film and TV scripts he's written. The plot is just OK but nothing spectacular here, and very far from the novel spirit. Elements that are introduced throughout the film are tided together quite nicely in the end. The acting is decent, with Kevin Bacon giving the best performance in his major role part in this movie. He really makes you believe in his character, which is one of the elements that makes this movie work so well. The acting, particularly, struck me as being better, but Katheryn Erbe, as Kevin's wife, really jumped out. They paired well. The other actors do a good job as well. Illeana Douglas' character might have been a bit 'too' but that's a minor quibble.The movie sags after its strong start and features a slew of horror movie clichés seances, visions, and sudden loud noises. Over time, I saw how the stories of the other secondary characters did and didn't intersect when it was about to come to a head. The special features include a nice featuring, where the actors, director and writer of the film-inspiring novel give their takes on this project which never fails to send shivers up the spine.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

It's actually quite fascinating that "Stir of Echoes" and "The Sixth Sense" came out the same year being that they are so similar. Of course "The Sixth Sense" garnered more attention and rightfully so, but "Stir of Echoes" was still an excellent movie. I'd go so far as to say that if "The Sixth Sense" had not been made then "Stir of Echoes" would be one of the more iconic ghost movies to date."Stir of Echoes" was a masterful blend of the paranormal world with the normal world as an apparition tried to communicate with the living. Of course specters can never just outright say what they want (that would make things too easy) so the movie became a mystery that needed to be solved.Kevin Bacon is Kevin Bacon so you know you're going to get good acting there. I also thought the contributions by Illeana Douglas, who played is sis-in-law, and Kevin Dunn (his best friend) were just as good. The story and the suspense kept me drawn in even though they added a few scenes that were unnecessary in which they spelled out something we already knew. Besides that the movie was spectacular and I only wish I'd seen it sooner.

Tom Witzky (Kevin Bacon) is a Chicago blue collar lineman concerned that his wife Maggie (Kathryn Erbe) is pregnant. They have a son name Jake. Her sassy sister Lisa (Illeana Douglas) hypnotizes him at a party and he starts having visions of vanished neighborhood girl Samantha Kozac (Jennifer Morrison). They get Samantha's sister Debbie Kozac (Liza Weil) as babysitter to Jake. When Jake tells her about visions of Samantha, she tries to take him to her mother. Tom becomes obsessed with Samantha's disappearance.There is great creepiness and moodiness. Kevin Bacon's performance is brilliant. His obsessive turn is amazing. The dark creepiness is perfect for the supernatural story. It brings out the darkness in a very everyday neighborhood. It's a great ghost story.
