A good film lost in the shadow of The Sixth Sense
20 May 2005
It came out the same year,and basically,although with differences,has the same plot as a certain other film about a young child who saw dead people,Stir of Echoes,in my opinion,is a very good film.Kevin Bacon is excellent as a man tormented by the visions of a murdered girl,shortly after being hypnotized.It has become popular,with new technology,to make the dead move somewhat faster in films,which is effective,I suppose,but to me,the dead can be just as scary moving at a normal pace.This was an excellent leading role for Kevin Bacon,and I consider this film amongst his best work.Sadly,since it's release came so closely to that certain other film and had more or less the same story line,it will probably be overlooked for years to come.
