throatmotor The trailer looked interesting. The premise seemed enticing. The first 15 minutes of the film confirmed my previous assumptions...and then the plot unfolded, fumbled, and ultimately performed a well- executed face-plant. The basic premise is a family who have recently suffered the tragic loss of their daughter, whom had been kidnapped and murdered 10 days later. Fast-forward to the healing stages of grief; the husband and wife begin to heal and move to a beautiful new house. Well..a beautiful old house, rather. As the rules of spirit/ghost horror dictate; people who have recently suffered a tragic loss sometimes attract unseen forces..and so the movie actually begins. Cue spooky haunted house schtick. I should have seen it as an omen to find Sean Young (aka. Einhorn/Ray Finkle in Ace Ventura) as Laura, the main character. It's difficult to take her seriously after having seen her slap comedic swords with Jim Carrey, and true to form, she made me laugh more than scream in terror. Any nail-biting that was done on my part was due to the unbelievably predictable plot lines, unconvincing dialogue delivery and an apparent switch in film-grade quality half-way through the movie.There were too many gaping holes in this film to fully enjoy it. The ending provided no resolve, but did suggest that the entire premise for the film was all for nothing. Don't understand what I mean? If you can get as far as the end, it will all be clear. Otherwise, don't waste your time on this piece of garbage.

Jen We rented this through Redbox and it was not worth the $1 we paid. The music was obnoxious and loud, the acting was bad in almost every scene, and it wasn't even remotely close to being a horror/scary movie. Not to mention that at the end when she says they're moving to Aberdeen, Oregon, she's incorrect. There is no such place as Aberdeen, Oregon. It's Aberdeen, Washington.This is one of those movies that you start watching and then you end up doing other things while it plays, like laundry, washing the dog, etc. The only part of the movie worth watching was the very end, and the scenes with M. Emmet Walsh.

MovieGuy01 I thought that Haunted Echoes was a very good low budget horror film. It is about a couple called Guy and Laura who have recently suffered their worst nightmare,their eight-year-old daughter Kimberly was abducted from her bedroom. not long after they move to a old house which is in need of repair, They hope that it will take their mind off what has happened. but they soon find themselves haunted by a young female spirit who looks like their daughter Kimberly. I thought that this film was very good despite it being a low budget movie, It also had quite a frightening storyline to it. which give it that haunting atmosphere

Jan Strydom HAUNTED ECHOES is a story about a husband and wife whose daughter is abducted one night, after a 10 day search her body is eventually found, several months later the husband and wife move in to an old house, and a series of strange events start to take place.The fact that this film is low budget is obvious once it gets started, but that doesn't mean it didn't have the talent behind it, unlike your big budget fare these days, this film has own way to generate a creepy tone, it isn't very atmospheric, and it doesn't really aim to make you jump out of your seat, it concentrates more on setting the right mood, which it manages very well.The script itself is very well written, it develops the characters of the husband and wife well enough for you to relate to their situation, and everything they do and how they react to certain things all make sense.In case you might feel you won't enjoy this film because it is low budget, here's a few things to take into account, it is directed by Harry Bromley Davenport, who was known for directing an early 80's sci-fi movie called XTRO that later spawned two sequels, and stars Sean Young, David Starzyk and E. Emmet Walsh, who give believable performances and are not exactly unfamiliar faces.Overall, if you're looking for artistic aspirations, you probably won't find it here, but if want creative film making skill or creative talent you'll find plenty.
