    • 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
      Alyssa sees Gina knocking on Bobby's door and immediately suspects he's seeing another girl and tells her friends about this. The fact that Gina was covered in bruises and was obviously in tears did not seem to occur to her at all.
    • Crazy credits
      Carly's piano tune continues to play throughout the credits.

    Echos From The Wall
    A remake of the Phillipino flick, 'Sigaw', 'The Echo' follows the traditional path of the typical European/Asian claustrophobic chiller flick. The story is simplistic, predictable and weak. Some of the subplots are uninteresting and don't really fit with the main story. It starts off slow and the tense atmosphere is very well maintained.

    This is no slasher flick. It's mostly atmospheric and that's where it succeeds. The creepy and claustrophobic interiors of Bobby's building and the stylistic execution, first rate cinematography and sound effects contribute very well in creating tension. While the lead character Bobby is well developed, I felt that the other characters suffered from poor writing. Jesse Bradford is excellent and he confidently carries the movie displaying depth and restraint. Iza Calzado is very good despite the way her role was written.

    As flawed as it is, it's not a bad suggestion for a one-time watch especially for those who enjoy films of this kind.
