#Echoes of fear movie#

So, as previously mentioned, this movie is all over the place. READ MORE: The Contender (2000) – Film Review It’s a haunted house film, but the main focus of the story isn’t the haunting, it’s more of a detective story following a breadcrumb trail, occasionally interrupted by ghostly presences that really wish she’d pay more attention to the things they’re scrawling on walls and mirrors. It could be described as a thriller with horror elements on one hand, while on the other you could also call it a horror film that’s got elements of a thriller. The deeper she digs, the darker and more dangerous things become, eventually culminating in an all out battle for her life.ĭirected by Brian Avenet-Bradley, Echoes of Fear is a difficult film to categorise. She begins to suspect things are not entirely as they seem with the house and with what she knows about the man her grandfather seemed to be. His granddaughter Alisa (Trista Robinson – Purgatory Road, The Human Race) arrives to get the place ready to sell on, which involves her mostly living there on her own while she sorts her grandfather’s affairs, with occasional visits from boyfriend Brandon (Paul Chirico – Marry Me, Escape the Night) and best friend Steph (Hannah Race – Billy and the Bandit, So You Wanna Make a Movie) to help her out. But THEN, by the end, everything had been explained, all questions were answered, the stakes were high and I found myself really enjoying it again so… how on earth to rate this film when I spent as much time hating it as enjoying it?Įchoes of Fear opens with an elderly man (Norman Zeller – Malignant) taking a shower, who promptly dies in mysterious circumstances. But then it couldn’t resist cramming in jump scare on top of jump scare, so I went back to hating it for the next twenty minutes or so. Then by halfway through it had actually accomplished a feat few movies these days are capable of – it made me jump and squeal like a child, with a really beautifully executed scare. Echoes of Fear is a movie I hated after the first ten minutes, and I was all set to rip it to bits.
