This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

That was an excellent one.

Nice effects though.

Admirable film.

I don't know what people are talking here on IMDb. It's the same movie we are watching? Are they smoking something, are they f@@king whit chemicals? Only crack can make you jump like they say in the reviews - so half the people on IMDb are smoking crack?Scary, creepy, atmospheric, slow burner ghost story...WOW! Let the pipe down for a minute!Believe me people this is a BIG P.O.S! Don't waste your money on this! It's nothing creepy or scary, only if you are 11 and hyper sensitive and of course if you abuse the pipe you'll find this scary.This is nothing new, we already seen this done better, i don't know what i was expecting, but reading the reviews here i thought maybe this is good. I was dead wrong.I keep saying, never believe the positive reviews on IMDb, it's sad because you need an opinion from outside to decide if you'll spend the money or not. We need the truth! This site it's going down with kids all over the place and drug abuse.

a good movie with nice story. Its a horror + little bit affectionate. don't know why it is rated so low.It may not be for the horror lovers but is worth seeing. And it has very good and interesting story which many great movies lack.Its the story about love , affection , violence, and somewhat cute and romantic.I had watched it in 2008 on HBO at midnight. Great time to see these kind of movies. I wasn't disappointed at all by the movie.. the story is awesome and everything else is OK. i had forgot the name of movie , and recently I was searching for it and couldn't find it .I tried a lot describing plot and asking on yahoo answers but it seemed not many people had seen it. i even tried on IMDb by categorizing by horror and sorting through a large number of movies , but could't find again due to its poor rating (??). Then one day I goggled " horror + violence +apartment + neighbor + prison " as these were the words describing the plot , and Bingo ,I found the movie. hope to see it one more time.

I must say i didn't expect much from this film. I myself am an absolute horror fan. I can say i watched almost every horror film worth seeing and browsing the internet looking to find some gems that might be not so fammiliare.When i bumped in to The Echo, the cover caught my attention. I didn't expect much from it because i didn't hear about it at all.Well what do u know! It was great! I really recommended this to all horror fans who like creepy ghost stories. Cause i cannot remember seeing one for the past years so creepy as this one.The story and acting is good. And the ghosts are also really scary. Also the score/soundtrack of the movie is great! Kept me on the edge of my seat, so highly recommended !

I find it ridiculous that this movie didn't get a good release while the likes of Boogeyman, They, The Unborn, and countless other Asian film remakes did! This movie is worth your time, to say the least.I won't really say it's slow paced as things started the moment the lead character got in the apartment. But it definitely is boring if your concept of a horror movie is limited to gore and run-for-your-life scenes after every 5 minutes of dialogue. This is more of an "alone at night horror movie" than an "invite friends over and have popcorn" type. The enjoyment lies in the appreciation of story, texture, and creepy atmosphere of the film, which the director served in good proportions.I liked how Yam Laranas outdid himself in the remake. The story is tighter, and the American lead actors were better than their Filipino counterparts...though I can't say the same for the supporting characters.In closing, let me just debunk a review here which commented on the other users' comments instead of commenting on the movie (and I'm committing the same crime now), but The Echo is at the very least a decent ghost movie...to call it "half-decent" is already being silly. The film is No Exorcist, but to discredit it just to balance out the opinion of those who thought it was good is self-deception.The movie is not without its imperfections, but it won't make you cry for your 90 minutes. Many contemporary horror movies did worse.
