Reviews

Leofwine_draca THE ECHO is a VERY low budget ghost story made in the Philippines. The tale is about a guy who buys an apartment in a run down old building which turns out (naturally) to be haunted by various spirits with sinister intentions. The model for this film is very much RINGU and the Japanese ghost story in general, so there's a dingy, grubby look to the surroundings and lots of slow-burning suspense. Sadly, the budget is so limited that it all adds up to very little in the end, but at least all of that creeping about in the dark adds up to a little atmosphere.

atinder This is as been I on watch list for time and so as the remake even thought the plot sound so-what different.First 20 minutes of the movie, It the look of it was bit too much like Dark Water (Which I only saw yesterday) but as carried on, it was nothing like Dark Water at all. The story is a little predicable here and there but how they filmed this movie was great. they really manage to really creepy you out. There not many Jumps scenes in this movie for one second and move on this movie dose not want to scare you, it want to creep the hell out of you. Some of those well really well shot and I was really creepy out in some scenes the hair and the back of neck start stand up.I really enjoyed how the story and movie came to a end,Few thing could have been better, I could had better lead actor as Some of the acting wasn't great but it was more then watch-able.I don't why but I do feel that some of subtitled didn't fit in right with some of the scene.This was one the best ghost stories I seen in a long time 8 out of 10

freebird-64 I got to see this movie back when it was first shown as part of the annual Metro Manila Film Festival (when only local films are allowed to be shown in theaters). The audience reaction was overwhelmingly positive as we all screamed and gasped in the right places.Admittedly, the film is hardly original but it still manages to create a personality of its own, distinct from the Japanese and other Asian horror films. The film's worst flaw is its use of similar looking actors for scenes taking place in the past and present. This creates some confusion in the audience as to what exactly is happening.Otherwise, the film is laudable in the way it effectively marshals its limited resources (it takes place essentially in one setting) to create a very creepy and atmospheric film. This is a must for fans of horror movies.

Hector Alejandro Medina During the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film (www.bifff.org) we saw ECHO. We wanted to be scared and we were... We didn't expect to be that scared. That's why our vote is high. But, we must say the actors weren't that good. We saw easily that they were playing a role, they weren't realistic. The sounds made us make jumps from our seats. The story was revisited but all the stuff around made that movie watchable. The make up was well done. We really like that kind of film here. The Asian films are the best. But we only can see them during festivals or events. That's quite sad for us. Thanks to all the people who made all that events possible. We really appreciate that from here.
