This has a very interesting plot that did not come off as well as it could. It seemed to amble on too much,to struggle at times, and did not offer any "high shocking" moments like 6th Sense and Dead Zone. Possibly a better use of camera angles, more "ghost" scenes, more spooky interaction between father and son, and a deeper role for Katie Erbe would have helped. Katie Erbe's talents were definitely under utilized. If it wasn't for Kevin Bacon, the movie would have really struggled. I am a Kevin Bacon fan and have enjoyed his acting since "Footloose". I have "Stir of Echoes" on BluRay HD DVD. The sound is great!!! Just like being in a theater.

Always like Kevin Bacon. But the movie needed a tighter plot and better direction
