Some Genuine Creepiness In This One
The Echo had a handful of scenes with an uncomfortable creepiness akin to classic J-Horror. Rarely do I reach for the remote anymore having experienced most every range of horror film out there, but this one seeped under my skin and had me on edge more than twice. And it is that sort of unsettling moodiness combined with frights you hafta’ be paying attention to catch. You know, the kind where after they’ve come and gone you must back em up for a second take. Truly those “WTF” type instances.Jesse Bradford plays Bobby, a twenty something recently released from prison after doing a stint for killing a guy who attempted to rape his HOT girlfriend (played by Ameiia Warner) in a restroom. Having nowhere else to go, he heads back to the ol’ East Village NYC neighborhood. Mom has died a spooky death from starvation, he learns, when he moves in to her old apartment. There’s bloody fingernails on the piano keys and rumbles in the walls and a mean-looking cop next door who enjoys beating his wife and little girl. Bobby starts to see things, though, and these things aren’t making any sense and they’re a bit ghastly to boot. It’s when Bobby decides he can no longer put up with the abuse he is overhearing next door and reports it to the cops, only to have them respond to a completely vacant apartment next door, that things go from odd to friggin’ strange.
Bobby’s apartment reminded me a lot of the apartment in the game Silent Hill 4: The Room with its eerily watered down dingy browns and rusts. There are holes in the peeling plaster walls and everything gives off the mood of worn and filthy. It’s a truly lonely place that flattened my spirits each time Bobby returned home.
The Echo is not without its disappointments and inconsistencies which converge on a far too abrupt ending that leaves the viewer feeling a bit jipped. Oh well, though. It is a decently freaky ride getting there.
She Just Needed Someone to Help Her
Bobby Reynolds (Jesse Bradford) is released on probation from Rikers and moves to the old apartment in East Village, New York, where his lonely mother lived and passed away. He finds a job as mechanic in the Houston Auto Repair owned by the supportive Hector Rodriguez (Carlos Leon) and tries to rebuild his life. However, he is outcast and his former friends and neighbors do not want to talk to him. He meets his former girlfriend Alyssa Foldes (Amelia Warner) that works as waitress and studies in a college of design. Bobby hears weird noises and finds blood in his apartment, and overhears an argument between an abusive police officer and his wife and their daughters. Soon he discovers that the next door apartment is actually empty and he is haunted by the ghosts of the deceased family that was not helped by the neighbors.“The Echo” is a good ghost story and apparently a remake of a horror movie from Philippines that I have not the chance to see yet. The plot is supported by a stylish cinematography and a creepy apartment building that gives a scary atmosphere. The conclusion does not explain how Bobby could justify the death of Hector in the basement of his building in the same day of his absence to the probation officer and even the bruises in Alyssa and if the curse has ended. My vote is seven.
