Title: TASTY BACON
Review: STIR OF ECHOES demonstrates just how far Kevin Bacon has grown as an actor. Hard to believe this is the same guy who started out in FRIDAY THE 13TH, FOOTLOOSE and other mindless fluff. In his recent MYSTIC RIVER, I'm sure the only reason he didn't get an Oscar nomination is because Tim Robbins did and they didn't wanna do both of them? Anyway, in this highly atmospheric and chilling thriller, Director David Koepp leads Bacon, Kathryn Erbe and cast on a psychic journey of really creepy proportions. Kevin's scenes in digging up his yard, his house and the past of a ghostly scepter are riveting. A chilling and worthwhile adaptation of Matheson's masterful work.As far as SIXTH SENSE goes, the similarities are minimal and both are great movies.
