Echoes of Fear [DVD]

Product Information

Engage with a series of cryptic riddles, guiding your steps through a series of haunting houses, each hiding secrets that echo through the ages. She moves in with a view to selling it but almost immediately spooky things start to happen, including a creepy cookie jar, the top of which moves by itself. It sent me and my husband crazy how totally irritating her damn voice was and the relief when she wasn't on the screen. The tired old twists are boring beyond belief, the climax as generic as they come, the film washed out and rubbish-looking.

I didn’t expected that as I am a scary movie lover and the actors are all new to me but they are a bunch of good actors. Trista Robinson has a sort of little-girl voice that’s initially really grating, and a habit of not only acting like every creak in the house is a serial killer sneaking in, but of then walking around in the house, in the dark, with her mouth hanging open and a gormless look on her face like she’s a teenager in a Halloween movie just waiting to get murdered.It is obvious this is ultra indie work, still Brian and Laurence Avenet-Bradley create a cool, atmospheric thriller. You never can tell with a lot of these - well lets be honest , B movies - whether you will get to the end and declare to yourself , ' there is 90 mins of my life that I wont get back ' , however I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem of a movie , give it a chance it wont disappoint . 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.

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? Looking to find answers she starts investigating her grandfather's mysterious death but in doing so uncovers the horrific truth and the shocking events of the past. Directed by the team of Brian and Laurence Avenet-Bradley - and filmed in the house that they live in - Echoes of Fear follows Alysa, who has inherited her grandfather's home.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
