Pros: Kevin Bacon, Ileana Douglas, Story
Cons: Ending
Stir of Echoes (1999) Kevin Bacon stars as a regular blue collar worker who gets hypnotized and opened to a whole nother world in this entertaining suspense/horror thriller. The movie is much better than its reputation ...

Pros: Bacon and rest of cast. Very well done, entertaining thriller.
Cons: Under appreciated. Might be too slow for some.
With some movies, I am not interested in seeing them for some reason and then I later change my mind. Stir of Echoes was one of those movies for me.Tom Witzky was a regular guy with a wife and young son, though he wasn't ...

Pros: Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Some unexpected twists and turns.
Cons: Not a single thing!
This is the first film I have ever had the honor to watch that was directed by David Koepp, but you can bet that I'll be renting his first movie, A Trigger Effect! Stir of Echoes is truly a suspense film that leaves the viewer bug- eyed and nail-biting...

Pros: Great sound, interesting story
Cons: Some bad scripting
Stir of Echoes does have a few elements that would make you think it is a ripoff of The Sixth Sense. You have a ghost and a little boy who talks to her, and LOTS of stuff that'll make your skin crawl. However, Stir of Echoes is actually a murder...

Pros: Pretty Good...
Cons: Weak Ending...
Another old-fashioned ghost story, Stir of Echoes, tries to compete with The Sixth Sense. As a Box Office Top List, Stir of Echoes can’t compare with The Sixth Sense; but with the Video Rental Top List, Stir of Echoes absolutely beats The Sixth Sense....

Pros: Good writing, good acting especially from Kevin, more psychological frights than gore & bodies
Cons: Overuse of the kid (it's the father's story), mystic clan that's out of place
Stir Of Echoes is one of the better horror movies I’ve seen in a while. I grew up watching Freddy and Jason hack people up, but now I prefer stories that don’t rely on the number of different ways people can be mauled in a 2 hour period. Echoes ...

Pros: moments of instant goosebumps, realism
Cons: that shudder-worthy fingernail scene!
Tom Witzky (Kevin Bacon) is just an average Chicago Joe working hard as a telephone lineman to make ends meet for his family. Wife, Maggie (Kathryn Erbe), and clever young Jake (Zachary David Cope) have settled in nicely, but we the viewers see right ...

Pros: Some real jolts. Bacon is impressive.
Cons: May seem overly familiar to the horror fans.
While picking through the debris of the New Horror Wave, you may chance upon a few smaller movies that a worth a look, like this one. While it's not likely to make anyone's Top Ten list, it offers some effective chills backed up a strong story (based on...

by Furie , Sep 14 '00
Pros: Creepy, well drawn characters, compelling story
Cons: Pointlessly explains the supernatural events to us
Inevitably, Stir of Echoes will be compared to The Sixth Sense. They came out near each other, both involve kids who see dead people, and both are billed as chilling tales of the supernatural. But, while both are great movies, Stir of...

Pros: Bacon, suspense
Cons: Erbe at points
Director David Koepp brings a new kind of thriller to the screen in 1999's Stir of Echoes . This isn't the kind where monsters lurk in shadows and where hapless victims scream till their untimely end. This is about ghosts (or rather a ...

Pros: Keeps your attention the whole way through without any disappointment
Cons: This movie represented no cons in my opinion
Koepp David has directed a fantastic suspense movie with Stir of Echoes. The main character, Kevin Bacon does this movie total justice. There is evidence of great talent with each actor/actress in this film. Performances given are expertise in my...

Pros: Pretty Good
Cons: Not As Good As the Sixth Sense
This is yet another movie that I knew nothing about but decided to pick up anyway. I tend to do this often, but I guess it's because I don't watch much television and therefore don't see many previews. My fiance tends to fast forward through the...

Pros: Kevin Bacon gets under the skin of his character; this movie will get under your skin
Cons: The supporting cast is weak
In a summer already haunted by the likes of The Sixth Sense, The Haunting and The Blair Witch Project, I kinda feel sorry for Stir of Echoes. Its box office trailing far behind those other spookfests, Stir failed...
