Echoes of Fear [DVD]

Product Information

Then by halfway through it had actually accomplished a feat few movies these days are capable of – it made me jump and squeal like a child, with a really beautifully executed scare. But as the film progresses, she starts making smart decisions rather than trite, tired ones; she shows a surprising amount of passion and energy in her performance, even if the script is determined to try and sabotage her. I went into this film not expecting much, but was surprised by the tight acting of the two lead women as well as the men playing boyfriend and homicidal maniac and the woman playing the victim being raped and murdered.

It’s a haunted house film, but the main focus of the story isn’t the haunting, it’s more of a detective story following a breadcrumb trail, occasionally interrupted by ghostly presences that really wish she’d pay more attention to the things they’re scrawling on walls and mirrors.It sent me and my husband crazy how totally irritating her damn voice was and the relief when she wasn't on the screen. Although I pretty much guessed the ending well before the reveal it still held my interest throughout. The film has a fairly small cast which includes an elderly man living next door who is a chain smoker despite being attached to a portable oxygen tank, and a delightful pet mouse, rightfully given a credit (Twikie and Twixie). The pacing is definitely a problem because things seem to move too slow, however, the mystery aspect of the story helps maintain interest.

You never can tell with a lot of these - well lets be honest , B movies - whether you will get to the end and declare to yourself , ' there is 90 mins of my life that I wont get back ' , however I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem of a movie , give it a chance it wont disappoint . Echoes of Fear invites you to unravel ancient mysteries beneath the tranquil facade of a valley frozen in time. Some of the scenes are not for the squeamish, but if you've seen tons of Horror as I have, you won't be too bothered with the severed heads and limbs or the extreme violence.Young woman inherits house from deceased grandfather and is beset by supernatural scares while living there to get it in shape to sell. Horror has been my favourite genre for decades, but with films like this I think it's time to give up hope.

About half an hour we and we get our first supernatural jump scare, I'm man enough to admit this and the following one did work on me. Acting was very good, and the film as a whole felt like a big budget movie, even though it was lower budget. There are some obviously fake reviews on here giving it 10/10 but in a sea of mediocre horror movies this one was slightly better than average. It's your typical, 'What Lies Beneathesque' ghost story although the former did a much better job at convincing.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. Yes, there is some unavoidable cliche in this type of storyline, but my advice is to go with the flow.

As she puts it up for sale, she starts to sense that there's a presence in the home that is not from our world.

Fortunately, the effective scares balances with the bad acting, making movie neither too horrible, or too enjoyable. The film was inspired by several real life killings, from the Hillside Strangler being two cousins to the ghost rapes of Bolivia, where women in a Bolivian Mennonite community were convinced that ghosts or demons were attacking them in their sleep when it was really men using animal anesthetic. I didn’t expected that as I am a scary movie lover and the actors are all new to me but they are a bunch of good actors.
