The Echo

Running Time: 165 minutes

Summary: An ex-con moves into an old apartment building, where he encounters a domestic problem involving a police officer, his wife, and their daughter. When he tries to intervene, it appears that the apartment is empty, and he is left to discover where the noises are coming from before it's too late.

Review: Once every 6 months or so, I go to blockbuster to do some movie shopping, that is, I go through all the racks of new releases for any movies that look interesting but I had missed downloading. This movie was one of those.

I think for a scary movie/ghost story to be successful, it has to have an interesting, "getting rid of the ghosts" solution. Take The Grudge for example, that movie is so freaking scary because there is no way to get rid of them! Once they are there, you are fucked! A movie like 100 Feet, with Famke Janssen, had so much potential, but the ending was so cheesy that it killed the movie. This movie is somewhere in between the two, not a dynamite ending but it didn't suck. The story was medicorce but the scary parts are really freaking scary... There is this one part where there is a little hole in the wall.... I won't ruin it for you but trust me, it gave me the willies!

Excellent B-grade, Saturday afternoon, scary movie.
