		While Matheson obviously tackles many subjects within the sci-fi/fantasy/horror realm, "Stir of Echoes" is truly a tale of the supernatural and writer/director David Koepp has built upon the source novel to create a truly creepy film.

	Stir of Echoes
		Stir of Echoes will probably not be remembered as said boom’s high-water mark, but it is based on a novel by Richard Matheson, and that’s nothing to take lightly.
		Basically, Stir of Echoes is about Tom (the apparently ubiquitous Kevin Bacon) and Maggie (Kathryn Erbe), a young working-class couple whose prosaic, hardscrabble lives are intruded upon by the paranormal, partly as the result of a seemingly innocent party trick.
		That the little boy in Stir of Echoes is the first character to see the ghost is all but irrelevant to the story, but it serves to make an already natural comparison between the two movies inevitable, and such a comparison will just as inevitably be an unflattering one for Stir of Echoes.

		There are certain surface similarities between Stir of Echoes and The Sixth Sense, particularly the very matter-of-fact way both films portray spirits residing alongside the living and the bewilderment that afflicts people who can access this parallel universe.
		Stir of Echoes, on the other hand, uses spectral encounters as a way to put family dynamics in sharp relief.

	Stir of Echoes Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Powering Stir's main plot is the sudden appearance of a ghost in the living room, the victim of some past, hideous crime.
		The first impression most audiences got from the Stir of Echoes trailer was that it was a blatant rip-off of the phenomenally popular summer shocker, The Sixth Sense — impossible, since Echoes' story was written in 1958.
		Had Stir of Echoes been fortunate enough to have had an early release, it could easily have been The Sixth Sense that was labeled the rip-off.

		Stir of Echoes is a great example of the power of visual storytelling.
		Sixth Sense and Stir of Echoes, the two far more powerful movies, portray men being given the challenge of dealing with and comprehending the paranormal while the women are either skeptics or obstacles in their quest.
		In addition, in Sixth Sense and Stir of Echoes, not only are the men the ones with the quest of deciphering the unexplained, but they do so with the exclusion of the regular channels of authority like the police or the medical establishment, and without the help of any spiritual authority.

		On the surface, "Stir of Echoes" sounds a lot like "The Sixth Sense", the Bruce Willis supernatural thriller that has managed to stay in the number one position at the box office for the past five weeks.
		And though the payoff is nowhere near as gripping as the big reveal in "The Sixth Sense", "Stir of Echoes" has a number of elements working in its favor to merit a look.
		Like "The Sixth Sense", "Stir of Echoes" is not a horror film that relies on excessive gore, cheap scares, or axe-wielding psychopaths to scare the audience.

	Stir Of Echoes - Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It seems this is the summer for deeply chilling psychological horror movies, and "Stir of Echoes" comes close to giving champs "The Blair Witch Project" and "The Sixth Sense a good run for their money.
		Unfortunately "Echoes," which is based on a book by Richard Matheson, drops the ball with an insulting, pat-on-the-head last act that reeks of a design-by-committee re-write.
		Salvaged and sold for parts, "Stir of Echoes" has its fair share of strong substantive elements, including Koepp's use of some inventive, unsettling dream and hypnosis sequences and a specter effect in which the ghosts move at a different number of frames per second than their surroundings.

		To call Stir of Echoes a better movie than Stigmata, its weekend competitor, is to damn it with faint praise.
		To compare it with The Sixth Sense is a bit unfair, since it's not Stir of Echoes' fault that Sixth Sense got bumped up to an earlier release and ended up owning the box office -- and besides, Stir is based on a Richard Matheson novel published 41 years ago.
		I can see why he wanted to do Stir of Echoes; both movies are concerned with community and the ways in which it comes together or splits apart in times of stress.

		Stir of Echoes did manage to finish third, but was far behind the two leaders, with only $6 million.
		It dropped only 32% in its second week, which was a sign that it had some good word of mouth, but it had simply started too slowly in a field which was too crowded, so it finished with a mere $21 million.

		That talent is on display at times in Stir of Echoes, notably during a rowdy block party scene that brims with nervous energy and a palpable air of suspicion.

		Stir Of Echoes stumbles in its last act when it shifts into becoming a mystery regarding the unknown fate of a neighbor, a mystery whose outcome is hardly mysterious, and is not helped by the laborious scenes of digging and flashing-red lights that take us there.

	Shadows on the Wall: STIR OF ECHOES
		It's unfortunate that Stir of Echoes got lost in The Sixth Sense hype in the USA; it has a similar premise, even if the two films are radically different in most ways.
		There are moments in the film that stick with you: the wonderfully over-the-top visual literalness of Bacon's hypnotization or the tortuous flashes of violent outburst that we (and Bacon) are subjected to.
		It didn't do too well here in the US at the box office (probably because it was overshadowed by The Sixth Sense, like you mentioned), but I managed to talk my husband into renting it a couple months ago.

		In my opinion, the Sixth Sense was definitely the one to see of the "little boy who sees ghosts" pair, but I'm sure that many would disagree with me. Stir of Echoes actually is a horror movie, while The Sixth Sense was really something unique, and truly special.
		My take on Stir of Echoes was that it's basically a remake of Close Encounters as a horror film.

		Unfortunately, a couple of plot points here are similar to those in The Sixth Sense, and probably for that very reason, it didn't do well.
		Stir of Echoes is a harder-edged, more manic vision of what happens when the dead need us to help them.
		Kevin Bacon actually delivers one of my favorite of his performances and the rest of the cast fits so well, that the movie is almost seamless in that area.

	Stir Of Echoes Review (1999)
		A well-crafted but derivative chiller, Stir Of Echoes ended up getting largely passed over in the wake of the superior Sixth Sense the same year.
		But like it or not, these films do now exist and their elements are just too well known to really make Stir Of Echoes anything more than the sum of its parts.
		As a director, Koepp has made a pair of horror thrillers, Stir of Echoes and the Stephen King adaptation Secret Window.

	Stir of Echoes
		The strongest parallels are with "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "The Shining," focusing on average dads whose collision with the paranormal results in obsessive acts and family tension.
		"Echoes" also recalls "Sixth Sense" in its focus on a little boy (Zachary David Cope) who sees ghosts.
		The cliched, TV-movie plot devices in the film's last half might reassure audiences who smarted from the burn of that rug being pulled out from under them in "Sixth Sense." But for more adventurous moviegoers, "Echoes" is strictly a second-rate spooking.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Stir of Echoes"
		Sadly, many recent horror flicks give us horrid acting, horrid storylines, but Stir of Echoes contradicts this.
		Stir of Echoes began a little awkwardly, but after the first ten minutes, the film settled down and the result is an engrossing and scary thriller, a ghost story far better than either The Haunting or House on Haunted Hill.
		In Stir of Echoes the kid is 5 years old, and I believe the kid in Sixth Sense was about 8 - that's a big difference when you're a kid.

		Not because the film is bad (it's actually quite good), nor because it will do poorly (it might just do well).
		Echoes, on the other hand, wraps things up very neatly and predictably, much like an episode of Scooby-Doo.
		Still, in my books there's nothing so wrong with dear old Scoob, and horror and suspense buffs like me will rejoice at another excuse to get tied up in knots over the latest big-screen after-life apparition.

		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.
		Stir of Echoes is a good, supernatural thriller.
		"Stir of Echoes" is based on a novel written long before "Sixth Sense" ever came out but this film will still be compared to the other due to obvious similarities and the fact the Bruce Willis film was seen by more people.
