Stir of Echoes

Few movies creep me out. This one almost did, and I think that was due to the directing more than anything. Some of the scenes were quite well filmed. As for the plot? It was your typical “everyday man becomes obsessed with something he can’t understand”. It reminded me of ‘Close Encounters….” actually. I wish they had alluded to the climax of the movie a little more. I guessed the ending anyway, but I think it would have been better if Kevin Bacon’s friends had more of a dark side & if we got subtle glimpses into that side of their characters. After all, those characters were crucial to the outcome of the movie, and we barely got to know them.
