Like the rest of us, Kevin Bacon says writer-director David Koepp’s Stir of Echoes with Illeana Douglas, and Kevin Dunn really holds up. And it does.
He tells EW: “Stir of Echoes came out on the heels of the Sixth Sense it was so compared to that movie that I think it really hurt it from a marketing and box office standpoint. I personally feel like the movie definitely holds up. I think that the acting is good, I think the story is scary, I think that the backdrop of working-class Chicago was really well done. I thought Dave directed the s— out of it. I would like to go back and revisit it because I have a feeling that it’s probably going to hold up.”

Blue-collar family man Tom Witzky (Kevin Bacon) scoffs at supernatural phenomena — until he lets his wife’s sister, Lisa (Illeana Douglas), put him into a hypnotic trance.

The film sports a 67% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Kevin Bacon’s acting is so genuine that it’s creepy and director David Keopp knows how to create true suspense.
