brittanydiane 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!

panosstav-79105 First of all, i must admit that i was completely unaware of this film, until very recently. Second, i saw many reviewers having given a high score to this movie, comparing it to its contemporary "Sixth Sense". I must say that when the latter was released, it didn't fascinated me that much, since i found it to be a rather superficial version of the 10-year older cult masterpiece with the title "Jacob's Ladder". Having said that, i now have to add that "Stir of Souls" is not, by any means, close to "Sixth Sense". What you' ll get here is a childish one- piece ghost story, lacking even the slightest twist to get things interesting. Both the scenario and the characters lack the psychological depth that could make a typical monolithic ghost story a good movie that keeps you guessing on the edge of your seat. Second class in all its aspects. My humble rating: 3/10.

SnoopyStyle 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.

The Couchpotatoes I am normally not a real big fan of Kevin Bacon but I thought that in this movie he gave us his best performance so far. When I see his face I always imagine him in Footloose and I wonder when he's going to start dancing. But in Stir Of Echoes I for once didn't had that feeling. The little boy played by Zachary David Cope was also very good. Nice believable acting by this kid. The story itself was certainly interesting enough to keep you intrigued during the whole movie. I would rather call it a thriller then a horror movie. You won't get scared for one minute. Well at least I wasn't. But I certainly did enjoy this movie a lot and that's what it's all about.
