WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
johnjamesglass There isn't much to say about the film except for this. IT HAD A SHITTY ENDING. It was a brilliant film until THAT happened. What do I mean by "THAT". I'll tell you. In the film, an ex-con moves into his dead mum's flat and hears acts of violence in the (vacant) flat next door. Reason I put in vacant in brackets because there was a family who lived in there before they died. They died because no one came to the rescue when the husband killed his wife and daughter and then committed suicide. So at the end, the ex-con watches the act in play and decides to do what nobody had done beforehand...intervene. Good on the ex- con, by rights that should have stopped the whole thing. But it wasn't as the wife takes the husbands baton and BEATS HIM WITH IT!!!! It was complete SEXIST. Normally i can handle dead women killing blokes, but THAT COW WAS HAD NO RIGHT TO DO WHAT SHE DONE! To add insult to injury, once she kills her husband, she and her daughter went to heaven. PURE RUBBISH!!!! People who thought "Well done girl" or "he had it coming" need their heads fixed.3/10 SHOULD'VE HAD A BETTER ENDING INSTEAD OF THE SEXIST PILE OF CRAP
ctomvelu1 Connecticut native Jesse Bradford plays a quiet ex-con who moves into his dead mother's East Village apartment. A cop and his wife and young daughter live next door, and the ex-con often hears fighting going on in their apartment. He also begins hearing odd noises, which the landlord attributes to old pipes. He then begins seeing apparitions, which may or may not be his dreams. He discovers that his mother died of starvation, and a tape recording she left behind reveals she too was disturbed by odd noises and visions. When he finally calls the cops on the abusive neighbor, all hell breaks loose, starting with the fact that the apartment next door is vacant, and has been for quite some time. This is a English-language remake of a foreign-made 2004 thriller, made by the same director. It's definitely one of those vengeful spirit movies Asians apparently love so much. Bradford appears in just about every scene, and does a nice job.
iruon_itauol I must say i didn't expect much from this film. I myself am an absolute horror fan. I can say i watched almost every horror film worth seeing and browsing the internet looking to find some gems that might be not so fammiliare.When i bumped in to The Echo, the cover caught my attention. I didn't expect much from it because i didn't hear about it at all.Well what do u know! It was great! I really recommended this to all horror fans who like creepy ghost stories. Cause i cannot remember seeing one for the past years so creepy as this one.The story and acting is good. And the ghosts are also really scary. Also the score/soundtrack of the movie is great! Kept me on the edge of my seat, so highly recommended !
Kellie Stewart I only give this movie a 9 because it was a bit slow to get started. A young man gets out of jail and moves into his mothers old apartment. No one is quite sure how she died and the door had to be broken in for her body to be taken out. He makes some discoveries in the apartment that leave him with a lot of questions. One day as he's going to his apartment, he ends up in an elevator with a police officer. He doesn't say anything, but you can sense is discomfort as he feels like the officer is following him. He proceeds to his apartment and the officer enters the apartment next door. He begins to hear arguments in the adjoining apartment and bangs on the wall at one point to let them know he hears them. Occasionally he sees their little girl sitting in the hall playing a tiny play piano. Each day seems to pull him more and more into the events of this family. When we find out why the guy went to jail, we understand why he is reluctant to risk a possible fight with the man. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll end here. This movie should make us reflect on whether or not it is our business to step in when we see someone getting abuse. Like the woman that was raped and killed outside a building while no one did a thing to stop it, or the current gang rape that just happened. Ask yourself if you would put yourself at risk for someone you don't know and whether you would expect someone to step in if you were in some kind of danger at the hands of another person.
