"Can I ask you a question? Does it hurt to be dead?"
A washed-up rockstar living a mundane life, Tom, begins suffering visions after being hypnotized at a house party. The visions soon lead to a string of unanswered questions surrounding the apparition that has befriended his son, which has now begun driving a wedge further into their deteriorating marriage when Tom claims to have seen the apparition himself. Madness has planted itself in Tom's brain, and discovering the truth is the only resolution to free him and his family of their suffering.
Kevin Bacon in a 90s horror film is pretty much as great as it gets. Do you remember back when we discussed You Should Have Left (2020) and Kaytlynn promised a better Bacon film? This is it. With a ghostly presence and unsolved mystery unravelling before us, we get the best of haunting 90s horror in Stir of Echoes (1999) written and directed by David Koepp. This is a film adaptation of the 1958 novel of the same title by Richard Matheson, which is really adding to the layers of what happened and why in this film.
Have you enjoyed this movie already or will this be your first time watching? Yay/nay on the K-Bacon scale? Let us know and listen in for our stab ratings this week!
