    "The Echo" is a very fine and atmospheric film. Delivering some frightening chills and good and believable acting.
    It s a decent step up to after a couple of awful Asian horror remake that were release lately.

    An ex-convict settles at his dead mother's apartment and tries to get back to his old life, but things get more complicated when he begins hearing noises and seeing people in the next room.

    This horror movie is based on an origina...l Filipino thriller entitled Sigaw. Hollywood ...( read more)producers stick to their reputation of claiming "re-making" Asian movies but actually, it's just retaining the main characters and a completely different plot is spun. I must say that I have mixed feelings about this movie; while I couldn't be more proud to see hollywood take interest in a locally-made movie, I just didn't think it was as scary as I had heard it would be. The scares mostly rely on sound which I found irritating.

    Well it has been more that a year since this movie was shown in the US. But i never had an opportunity to watch it until last night. I can say that the director, Yam Laranas did a really good job .I've read some of the reviews in IMDB and I was amazed how people from the west app...( read more)reciate this movie made by a Filipino director. I must agree with the reviews that "The Echo" is really a good horror movie. It is effective in creating thrills, and it has a good plot and cinematography. However, I also agree with the comments that the movie is somehow snail paced on its first half. Yam Laranas made a debut direction in Hollywood with this good thriller flick, and I hope that there are still more to come,not just for Mr. Laranas but for more brilliant Filipino directors, actors, and actresses. It's definitely worth viewing, go check it out yourself.

    More or less fine, I loved the next door element though and what the lead believes he saw, that was a good plot-line and came out well in this horror film.

    Ótima atmosfera e fotografia (meio noir, muito boa), mas essa história da fantasma revoltada que sai assombrando e matando gente pq só queria que descobrissem sua trágica história tá tão batida, todo filme de horror oriental é a mesma coisa, perdeu a graça. Outro recurso manjado ...( read more)do terror asiático que odeio é quando o personagem de repente se vê no meio de um flashback de algo que nem estava presente revivendo acontecimentos do passado e até interferindo neles, absurdo tem limite. Filme mediano.

    Much better than I was expecting. It?s a moody and atmospheric horror flick, the acting is good, the special effects are fine and it has some very chilling moments. There are a few slow spots, but overall it?s quite decent.

    haven't seen the original version so I don't know what to expect from it... just watch it because obviously the director is Pilipino... I think they did well n giving enough horror but story-wise it was slow up until the climax....
