    • Trivia
      The title of the original Filipino film (Sigaw) translates to The Shout or The Scream. The title on the DVD release was changed to The Echo to avoid confusion with Wes Craven's horror film entitled Scream (1996). This remake followed suit.
    • Goofs
      Bobby cuts his finger when he inspects the hole in his wall and washes it in his bathroom sink. When he looks at the prescription medicine in the cabinet, the injury is suddenly gone in the closeup of his hand.
    • Crazy credits
      Carly's piano tune continues to play throughout the credits.

    Improves a little bit over the original...
    This remake improves a little bit on the original and is far more better filmed and managed to be creepier. I thought the performances were pretty good and modest but nothing that packs a punch and if you seen the original you pretty much know what's going to happen and what is going to be the outcome in the end so they pretty much didn't add anything new or major to the story. I never thought anything about it was all that scary or terrifying just creepy, chilling and atmospheric and when all is said and done it's just another American horror remake but one of the more decent ones and one of the slickest ones out there but nothing groundbreaking. Overall if you are still not sick of Asian supernatural/horror like movies that's low on gore and high on chills and atmosphere and if you enjoyed the film 100 feet here you go, just don't expect anything new or unique. Worth a rental.
