Must see for Horror fans! Highly recommended!
30 March 2010 | by (Netherlands) – See all my reviews

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 !
