Features: DVD, Special Edition
 
Tom Witzky (Kevin Bacon) is a blue-collar worker, a family man, the most ordinary guy in the world...who is about to be plunged into a shattering encounter with another world. And it doesn't matter that Tom doesn't believe in the supernatural. Because something supernatural has started to believe in Tom. After he is hypnotized at a neighborhood party, Tom changes. He sees things he can't explain and hears voices he can't ignore. As the horrific visions intensify, Tom realizes they are a piece of the puzzle, echoes of a crime crying out to be solved. But when his otherworldly nightmares begin coming true, Tom wants out. He desperately tries to rid himself of his eerie, unwanted powers--only to be seized by an irresistible compulsion to dig deeper and deeper into the mystery that is consuming his life. When at least he unearths the truth, it will draw him into the long-buried secret of a ghastly crime, a vengeful spirit...and the lethal price of laying the spirit to rest.
 
"...rivetingly haunting."  Christine James, Box Office Magazine
"...packs a spooky wallop..."  Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"...a canny piece of mature filmmaking..."  Wesley Morris, San Francisco Examiner
 


Editor's Note

Chicago telephone lineman Tom Witzkey (Bacon) is hypnotized at a party by his sister-in-law (Douglas) and begins seeing the ghost of a neighborhood girl murdered years before. He comes to the discovery that he is a Receiver--one who is able to see spirits. Now in possession of knowledge he never wanted to know, Tom struggles through his daily existence plagued by these newly-acquired supernatural visions while attempting to retain his sanity.

Professional Reviews
Variety
"...[Kevin Bacon gives an] exceptional performance....Koepp does a masterful job..." 8/23-29/1999 p.107

Rolling Stone
"...Moments of chilling terror..." 9/30/1999 p.100

Total Film
"...Koepp's film is much more of a Hitchcock shocker than an out-and-out spook flick..." 06/01/2000 p.86

Film Comment
"...STIR OF ECHOES stays assuredly character-driven and admirably low-key in its shock effects..." 09/01/1999 p.78

Premiere
"...Thoroughly unnerving....Stark and harrowing..." - 3 out of 5 Stars 03/01/2000 p.95

Box Office
"...With strong performances, intriguing and sparingly used special effect and some highly original concepts....Rivetingly haunting..." 09/01/1999 p.138

USA Today
"...The economical, fast-paced style and creepy mood are reminiscent of THE TWILIGHT ZONE -- for good reason....David Koepp's thriller matches the eeriest moments of the classic TV series..." 09/10/1999 p.12E

Chicago Sun-Times
"...Kevin Bacon stars in one of his best performances..." 09/10/1999 p.29

ReelViews 7 of 10
Stir of Echoes belongs to one of the oldest genres of horror films: the ghost story... Like a - James Berardinelli

Chicago Sun-Times 6 of 10
Kevin Bacon stars in one of his best performances... [Bacon] is sometimes able to suggest characters - Roger Ebert
