Best movie ever!

As Good As It Gets

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Let me first say, I used to LOVE Sean Young, even after she went a little crazy. I don't know how she got roped into this piece of crap unless she really needed the money. The acting is over the top, the story is awful, the references to animals are horrible... in fact there's a scene I had to turn off because it was so inappropriate to the story and horrible to the cat. (I have to assume what happened because it was well on its way to happening when we changed the channel!!) We couldn't even make it half way through the movie. The writer should be ashamed of himself! There is no reason whatsoever to waste your time on this movie. It will just make you mad.The End!

I'm not one to comment on movies here on IMDb very often but I very much appreciate reading the opinions of others. Many times this has made me buy or not buy a movie. And let this be one of those comments that makes you NOT buy or rent this movie. I just watched it on TV but missed the first couple of minutes and didn't get the title. And all through the movie I was anxious to get to the credits so I could get on here and comment on it.I sometimes read comments telling about bad acting in movies. And I think people exaggerate, sure not everything is worthy of an Oscar but mostly the acting in movies these days are OK. But this is not the case with Haunted Echoes. And it surprises me with actors that have been around for as long as they have. I think the exception is Barbara Bain, who is good as the crazy old lady. But it's not completely the actors' fault. The script is very bad, some of the lines they have to say! And the camera use and the whole feel of the movie... I was watching this with my girlfriend and she said it looked like a documentary.OK, so it's low-budget, but then I'm thinking it would be better to spend time on another movie. At one point during this movie I pointed out to my girlfriend that not 10 seconds go by without something horribly embarrassing taking place. Be it a bad line, crappy special effect, stupid plot twist or misplaced music.The only two reasons I finished watching this was that it was so bad it was a bit amusing and I had to finish it in order to comment on it.So you are hereby warned; don't waste time or money on this.

HAUNTED ECHOES is a story about a husband and wife whose daughter is abducted one night, after a 10 day search her body is eventually found, several months later the husband and wife move in to an old house, and a series of strange events start to take place.The fact that this film is low budget is obvious once it gets started, but that doesn't mean it didn't have the talent behind it, unlike your big budget fare these days, this film has own way to generate a creepy tone, it isn't very atmospheric, and it doesn't really aim to make you jump out of your seat, it concentrates more on setting the right mood, which it manages very well.The script itself is very well written, it develops the characters of the husband and wife well enough for you to relate to their situation, and everything they do and how they react to certain things all make sense.In case you might feel you won't enjoy this film because it is low budget, here's a few things to take into account, it is directed by Harry Bromley Davenport, who was known for directing an early 80's sci-fi movie called XTRO that later spawned two sequels, and stars Sean Young, David Starzyk and E. Emmet Walsh, who give believable performances and are not exactly unfamiliar faces.Overall, if you're looking for artistic aspirations, you probably won't find it here, but if want creative film making skill or creative talent you'll find plenty.

Failures of police investigation,(maybe),failure of parents.Questionly ending,but this film is not irritating.Also I have to say,sometimes rather a dark comedy,like a ghost story.Basic plot has well known elements,but for me personally was not irritating.Moral choices:revenge,should you do something,if you know the truth is not what law,and a judge leaves in the court room as a fact.Do you know the truth ?Or you just think the truth is what you think.This film is all the way better like most of television filmsI rented this,just to have some fun if I can not watch this on television,as a choice like this it was not bad,but if you know how low budget movies wants take your attention,you have to,and you will pay for it.5/10
