Amazon.com:
The only real problem with Stir of Echoes has nothing to do with the movie itself, but with unlucky coincidence. Adapted from a Richard Matheson novel, this film arrived around the same time as The Sixth Sense, and surface similarities made it suffer by cursory comparison and the competing film's phenomenal success. It's a pity, because this one features one of Kevin Bacon's best performances, in a psychological thriller that makes a lot more right moves than wrong ones. Bacon plays a blue-collar guy who laments his ordinary life, only to learn, when his sister-in-law (Ileanna Douglas) hypnotizes him, that he is a "receiver" capable of seeing spirits and split-second glimpses of past and future events. It's a torturous gift to have--especially since his friendly Chicago neighborhood possesses a dark secret--and Bacon plays the role with an appropriate mixture of obsession and internalized torment.
Similarity to The Sixth Sense applies only to the basic premise and the character of Bacon's young son. Otherwise, this is more of a hard-edged journey of self-discovery, marital crisis, and recovery, with Bacon's wife (played by the highly underrated Kathryn Erbe) involved in an underdeveloped subplot about a group of people who share Bacon's gift as paranormal "receivers." Furthering his career as a writer-director of intelligent thrillers, David Koepp makes a few missteps in pacing and thematic overkill, but overall Stir of Echoes is a sharp, sensitive thriller that unfolds to reveal a dramatically satisfying solution to its mystery. --Jeff Shannon

- Stir of EchoesWish I had known about all the bad language before I had gotton the movie, aside from that, the plot was good and I enjoyed the story line in the movie. It was a bit predictable though. Kevin Bacon was good in the movie; played a good role as someone hounded by a ghost. A bit unrealistic that his wife would have put up with all the crap he was giving her! Guess it was real love!

- A solid supernatural thriller that many will enjoy.Stir of Echoes is a supernatural thriller starring Kevin Bacon. When it was realeased in theaters it was percieved as a Sixth Sense wannabe but it is actually a very good film now that it can be viewed on its own. Based on the story by Richard Matheson (who was an influence on Stephen King), it is the story of average guy Tom Witzky (Bacon in an outstanding performance) who lives in a working class Chicago neighborhood and undergoes hypnotizm at a party. That experience changes him and now he ... Read More

- Absorbing supernatural movie!Tom Witzky (Kevin Bacon) who's just your basic working father in Chicago with a wife named Maggie(Kathryn Erbe) and a son named Jake (Zachery David). One night, Maggie's sister Lisa (Illena Douglas) believes in psychic communication as she challenges him to be hypnotized by her. It unfortunately gave some side effects to him as he has bizarre visions of violence and sees the spirit of a dead woman that died some time ago in the neighborhood yet he also sees her spirit. His son also has a similar ... Read More

- Finding that "open door"Samuel Taylor Coleridge once described it as a "willing suspension of disbelief." If you read a book or see a movie that stretches the boundaries of reality, or so you believe, but the art compels you to enter into its dimension and you do so, you have willingly suspended your disbelief.
Are there ghosts? If so, can they visit their needs upon us? Can they grab our attention and demand justice? Is it possible for hypnosis to "open doors to the impossible?" Director David Koepp and his ... Read More
