i usually fight for the underdog in these movie wars. stir of echoes was trying to compete against the cutest little kid who ever was (eye rolling), H J Osment. it fell flat because kevin bacon just isn't as edgy as osment is adorable. go figure. but. stir of echoes should have been named echoes of other movies. it was not as uniquely clever as "The Sight," and did not hold the charm of "Ghost." it was not as scary as "Poltergeist," and it was not the eye candy treat "The Haunting" remake was. it was not as atmospheric as "Rebecca" and did not hold the charm that "The Bat" held. it was not as intelligent as "Vertigo" and was not as charming as "Casper." it did have a decent story, but it was obviously ripped off from "The Changeling." obvious to any horror buff. unfortunately, i cannot recommend its viewing. i suggest instead, any other movie i've listed above.
score 1/10
