Review of Stir of Echoes (1999) by Joshua S — 25 Mar 2010
The sleeper success of "The Sixth Sense" may bode well for "Stir of Echoes," another low-key, character-driven supernatural drama with a minimum of graphic violence and an abundance of across-the-board audience appeal.
Screenwriter-turned-auteur David Koepp's sophomore effort as a multi-hyphenate (following "The Trigger Effect") is a white-knuckle thriller propelled by Kevin Bacon's exceptional performance as a working-class Everyman who discovers dark secrets under his own roof after inadvertently gaining precognitive powers.
Expect above-average business for this early-autumn Artisan release, followed by prolonged afterlife through cable and video exposure.
